When did the Sweet family emigrate to the U.S.? When did they move west? correct answers
They arrived in the U.S. in the 1830s. They moved west in the 1850s.
Who started European osteopathy by founding the British School of Osteopathy in 1917? correct
answers John Martin Littlejohn, DO, MD
Define homeostasis. correct answers The level of well-being of an individual maintained by
internal physiologic harmony that is the result of a relatively stable state of equilibrium among
the interdependent body functions.
What is allostatic load? correct answers The damaging effect of frequent or chronic activation of
the body's stress response.
What are the four Tenets of Osteopathic Philosophy? correct answers 1) The body is a unit.
2) The body possesses self-regulatory, self-healing and health maintenance mechanisms.
3) Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
4) Rational therapy is based on an understanding of these three principles.
Define somatic dysfunction. correct answers Somatic (host) components of disease, including
both manifestations of the disease itself and any factors that contribute to the maintenance of the
diseased state.
What is the goal of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)? correct answers To restore
homeostasis using concepts of unity of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology), and to
decrease allostatic loads, using the art of medicine and surgery in all of its branches and
specialties.
What is the site of allopathic care? correct answers The disease itself.
What is the site of osteopathic care? correct answers The host.
What are the four classifications of somatic dysfunction? correct answers 1) Duration
2) Etiology
3) Motion
4) Location
What does TART stand for? correct answers 1) Tissue texture changes
2) Asymmetry of structure
3) Restriction of motion
4) Tenderness to palpation
, Describe a direct technique of OMT. correct answers Positioning of the dysfunctional part
toward a restrictive barrier with activating force, moving it through the barrier.
Describe an indirect technique of OMT. correct answers Positioning of the dysfunctional part
away from a restrictive barrier, i.e. in the direction of greater freedom of motion. Release is by
inherent forces.
Define the physiological barrier of motion. correct answers This is the maximum normal range
of motion by the host.
Define the anatomic barrier of motion. correct answers This is the maximum range of motion for
by another person; the host remains passive and relaxed.
What is the restrictive, or pathologic, barrier? correct answers This is the maximum range of
motion for a given body part in somatic dysfunction.
What is the midline of motion? correct answers This is the midpoint of physiological motion; it
is not necessarily along the midline of the body.
What are the five Treatment Models? correct answers 1) Structural
2) Respiratory/Circulatory
3) Metabolic
4) Neurologic
5) Behavioral
Define kyphosis. correct answers Spinal curve with the convex portion directed posteriorly.
(Curves backward.)
Define lordosis. correct answers Spinal curve with the convex portion directed anteriorly.
(Curves forward.)
What is a spinal unit? correct answers Two vertebrae and associated soft tissues.
What are the three motions a spinal unit is capable of (the superior vertebrae in relation to the
inferior)? Describe them. correct answers 1) Flexion: bending anteriorly.
2) Extension: bending posteriorly.
3) Sidebending: bending laterally.
(Spinal units can also rotate together, spinning on the z-axis.)
What are Fryette's Mechanics of Spinal Motion? correct answers These principles describe
physiologic motion in spinal units.
1) When sidebending from neutral, rotation follows to the opposite direction.
2) When sidebending from hyperflexion or hyperextension, rotation precedes sidebending to the
same side.
3) Motion in one plane limits and modifies motion in other planes.
