Study Notes
Direct Techniques and Viscerosomatic Considerations in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
- Direct techniques for myofascial release, soft tissue, articulatory, muscle energy, high velocity low amplitude (HVLA), springing, cranial, and Still Technique are used in osteopathic manipulative treatment.
- Muscle Energy Technique involves postisometric relaxation and reciprocal inhibition procedure, with continuous monitoring of dysfunction by the physician.
- Sympathetic and parasympathetic levels in the body are linked to specific anatomical structures, including the head and neck, heart, respiratory system, esophagus, and various parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Peripheral sympathetic supply to upper extremity vasculature is from T2 to T8 levels, and to lower extremity vasculature from T11 to L2 levels.
- Viscerosomatic considerations include the sympathetic supply to various organs and structures such as the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and lower extremities.
- The iliolumbar ligaments, originating from the iliac crest and inserting on the transverse process of L4 and L5, play a role in stabilizing the lower lumbar spine and are commonly strained in traumatic injuries.
- Lumbarization and sacralization are disc load and positioning considerations associated with poor posture and traumatic injuries.
- Disc herniation, particularly posterolateral lumbar disk herniation, is most common at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
- The X+1 Rule is used to determine the affected nerve root in disc herniation, and different neuro exams can be used to assess motor and sensory function.
- Herniated nucleus pulposis typically occurs posterolaterally, leading to sudden acute pain and painful numbness, most commonly at the L5-S1 and L4-L5 levels.
- The Babinski reflex and straight leg raise test are used to assess upper motor neuron problems and sciatic nerve involvement in herniated disc cases.
- The Bragard test and contralateral straight leg raise test are additional clinical tests used to reproduce and assess radicular symptoms in patients.
