Goals/Objectives
• Review OPP and how they apply to sports
medicine
• Discuss functional biomechanics
• Review palpatory dx
• Discuss OMM tx approach
An Osteopathic Approach to Treatment
• The role of the physician is to facilitate the
healing process
• The focus of treatment is the patient
• The patient is treated in the context of the
disease process they are experiencing.
– The patient has the primary responsibility for his or
her health.
• There is a somatic component of disease and
manipulative therapy can restore the body’s
function, enhance wellness, and assist in
recovery from disease and injury.
OPP - Manual Medicine Approach
• Somatic Dysfunction
– Impaired or altered function of related
components of the somatic system (skeletal,
arthrodial and myofascial structures) and the
related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements
Diagnostic Triad of Somatic
Dysfunction
• Asymmetry of position
– Comparing left to right and
superior to inferior
• Range of motion
restrictions
– Standing Flexion Test
– Stork Test
– Seated Flexion Test
• Tissue texture
abnormalities
– Change in soft tissue
texture
MANUAL MEDICINE APPROACH
• Physician needs to identify the problem, make the
Dx, and Rx the appropriate TX
– Tx – surgery, drugs, manipulation, therapeutic exercise
• Goal for Manipulation To improve mobility of
tissues (bone, joint, muscle, ligament, fascia,
fluid) and restore to normal physiological
motion if possible.
– Restore the maximal pain free movement of the
musculoskeletal system in postural balance
MODELS OF MANUAL MEDICINE
•
•
•
•
•
Biomechanical model.
Neurologic model.
Respiratory-circulatory model.
Bioenergy model.
Organ system model.
Models, Mechanisms & Activating Forces
• Model relates to the therapeutic objective of
the intervention.
• Method relates to the approach to the
restrictive barrier. ( Direct, Indirect,
Combined).
– Depend on the clinician, patient, and
environment/setting
• Activating Forces - intrinsic and extrinsic.
Tx Approach Principles
• Treat the axial skeleton
first
• Extremities: start
proximal work distal
– LE – pelvis, hip, knee,
ankle, foot, toes
– UE – scapula, SC, AC,
glenohumeral, elbow,
wrist, hand, fingers
Tx Approach Principles
• Motor Control
– Balance
– Core stability
– Stretch before
strengthening
Tx Approach Principles - LBP
• Pelvis
– Pubes
– Ilium
•

•
•
Lumbar spine
Lower Thoracic
Sacrum
Core stability
Lumbar Spine and Sacrum
Muscle Imbalance
The Pelvic Clock
Three dimensional evaluation of function
of the lumbar spine and pelvis.
Used diagnostically and therapeutically.
The Lower Extremity (LE)
• The primary fxn of the LE
is ambulation
– The complex interactions
of the foot, ankle, knee,
and hip regions provide a
stable base for the trunk
in standing and a mobile
base for walking/running
• Dysfxn in the LE alters
the functional capacity
of the rest of the body
– particularly the pelvic
girdle

•
Operator’s hand is
placed over the ischial
tuberosity with the other
hand controlling the
flexed hip and knee
Operator
abducts/adducts and
internally/externally
rotates the against
restrictive barriers
Operator’s activating
force is repetitive
mobilization in a
posterior direction
through the shaft of the
femur
Acetabular Labrum
Mobilization Technique
• Internal & external
hip rotation.
• Lateral to medial
impactiondistraction of
femoral head.
• Anterior to
posterior
impactiondistraction femoral
head.
Anterior Hip Capsule Stretch
• Operator flexes knee and
grasps anterior aspect of
distal femur with one hand
and the other contacts the
posterior aspect of the
proximal femur
• Operator gently lifts knee
and applies a series of
mobilizing forces in an
anterior direction to
proximal femur
• Operator fine-tunes
against resistant barriers
with internal/external
rotation and medial/lateral
directional forces
