Study Notes
OHIPMNRS Model
- A musculoskeletal assessment approach that guides treatment for a presenting musculoskeletal concern.
- Used to help determine if a mobilization is needed, and which to perform.
History and Evidence for Manual Therapy
- Hippocrates, 400 BCE, described using gravity to manipulate the spine to help treat scoliosis.
- Friar Thomas, 1656, wrote "The Complete Bone Setter", describing manipulation in the treatment of spinal curvatures.
- Manual therapy fell out of favor in the 18th century, possibly due to indiscriminate use and dangers involved.
- By the 19th century, "Bone Setters" gained popularity again, but physicians dismissed their success as luck.
- By the late 19th century, manipulation became more mainstream, with papers and books explaining the procedure and benefits.
- Now, manipulation of bones is practiced by Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Naturopaths, and Registered Massage Therapists.
- It is a CONTROLLED ACT under the RHPA 1991.
Fundamental Concepts
- Mechanics: The study of forces and their effects on motion.
- Biomechanics: The application of mechanical laws to living structures, especially the human body's locomotor system.
-
- Considers the interaction of the skeleton, muscles, and joints.
-
- Bones act as levers, ligaments act as hinges, and muscles provide the forces.
-
- Manipulative forces take into account joint mechanics and structure, analyzing the effects of forces on the body.
Joint Mobilization
- A non-thrust technique applied within the physiological range of joint motion, but not exceeding the elastic barrier.
- Passive rhythmic graded movements with controlled depth and rate.
- May be applied with fast or slow repetitions (Oscillations) and various depths (Grades 1-4), but always low velocity.
- Movement applied singularly or repetitively, without imparting a thrust or impulse.
Goals/Benefits of Mobilizations
- Restore range of motion (ROM) of a joint.
- Reduce pain.
- Reduce muscle spasms by stretching hypertonic muscles.
- Stimulate synovial fluid production.
- Increase local blood flow.
- Relieve nerve compression and irritated sympathetic chain ganglia.
Types of Mobilizations
- Antero-Posterior Glide (AP Glide)
- Posterior-Anterior Glide (PA Glide)
- Inferior Glide
- Superior Glide
- Medial Glide
- Lateral Glide
Joint Manipulation (Grade 5 Mobilization)
- Thrust technique that takes the joint PAST its physiological ROM without exceeding the anatomical limit.
- Characterized by a low-amplitude, high-velocity thrust, typically producing an audible crack or pop (cavitation).
- A CONTROLLED ACT under the RHPA.
Controlled Act: Manipulation under RHPA 1991
- Moving the joints of the spine beyond the individual's usual physiological range of motion using a FAST, LOW amplitude thrust is a CONTROLLED ACT.
- To perform manipulation as treatment, one must be a member in good standing of a REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSION that has manipulation within its scope of practice.
Naturopaths and Manipulation
- CONO Standard of Practice: Manipulation.
- Naturopaths must perform manipulation safely effectively, and competently.
- Members must conduct an assessment and formulate a diagnosis before performing manipulation, and reassess the patient's progress and response to treatment regularly.
Stretch Techniques
- Gastrocnemius Stretch:
-
- Patient stands facing a wall with their feet shoulder width apart.
-
- One leg is straight behind the other, with their heel in contact with the floor and the toes pointing straight ahead.
-
- Patient leans forward, keeping their back straight, until they feel a stretch in the calf.
-
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
- Soleus Stretch:
-
- Patient lies prone on the treatment table with one knee flexed to 90 degrees.
-
- The clinician dorsiflexes the foot as far as possible.
-
- The clinician supports the bent leg with one hand and wraps the other around the heel with the forearm resting against the sole of the foot.
-
- Patient relaxes and inhales deeply while maintaining the foot in the starting position.
-
- On exhale, the clinician eases into the soleus stretch.
-
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
- Tibialis Anterior Stretch:
-
- Patient lies supine on the table with the ankle plantarflexed.
-
- The clinician cups the heel with one hand and holds the top of the foot with the other hand.
-
- Patient relaxes and inhales deeply while maintaining the foot in the starting position.
-
- On exhale, the clinician eases into the tibialis anterior stretch.
-
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
- Peroneal Stretch (Evertors):
-
- Patient lies supine on the table with the ankle inverted, keeping the ankle in neutral relative to dorsiflexion or plantarflexion.
-
- Clinician grasps the lower leg with one hand to stabilize it, and places the other hand against the lateral side of the foot.
-
- Patient relaxes and inhales deeply while maintaining the foot in the starting position.
-
- On exhale, the clinician eases into the peroneal stretch.
-
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
- Tibialis Posterior Stretch (Invertor):
-
- Patient lies supine on the table with the ankle everted, keeping the ankle in neutral relative to dorsiflexion or plantarflexion.
-
- Clinician grasps the lower leg with one hand to stabilize it, and places the other hand against the medial side of the foot.
-
- Patient relaxes and inhales deeply while maintaining the foot in the starting position.
-
- On exhale, the clinician eases into the tibialis posterior stretch.
-
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
