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).
– Depends on the clinician, patient and
environment/setting
• Activating Forces - intrinsic and extrinsic.
JOINT PLAY
• Definition: Movement within a synovial joint that is
independent of, and cannot be reproduced by, voluntary
muscle contraction, but essential for maximal pain free
movement of the joint.
• Joint examination: Examination is made for the precise
joint play movements of that joint.
• Joint treatment/manipulation: Movements that restore
joint play.
• Occurs in all synovial joints.
John McM. Mennell, M.D.
• Physiatrist trained at
Cambridge England.
• His father James also a
manual medicine physician.
• They introduced Joint Play
examination & treatment.
• One of founders of
NAAMM.
TYPICAL SYNOVIAL JOINT
JOINT WITH INTRA-ARTICULAR DISC
JOINT DYSFUNCTION
• A specific type of somatic dysfunction
• The loss of joint play movement that
cannot be recovered by voluntary muscle.
• Normal voluntary movements are restricted
and frequently painful.
JOINT PLAY EVALUATION &
THERAPEUTIC MANIPULATION
• Evaluate each play movement and compare
with contralateral side.
• Therapeutic manipulation is the use of a
high velocity, low amplitude thrust to
restore the play movement.
THE “NEVERS” IN JOINT PLAY
EVALUATION
• Normal ligaments are NEVER tender to
palpation.
• You can NEVER palpate a normal joint
capsule.
• You can NEVER palpate fluid in a normal
joint.
• NEVER manipulate a swollen, warm, or
inflamed joint.

Patient must be relaxed.
Therapist must be relaxed. Therapeutic grasp must be painless,
firm, and protective.
One joint mobilized at a time.
One movement in a joint restored at a time.
One aspect of the joint is stabilized and the other aspect moved.
Extent of movement is same as assessed in the same joint on the
opposite side.
No forceful or abnormal movement must ever be used.
The manipulative movement is a sharp thrust, with velocity, to
result in a 1/8th “ gapping or sliding at the joint being treated.
Therapeutic movements occur when all of the “slack” has been
taken up in the joint.
No therapeutic maneuver is done in the presence of joint or bone
inflammation or disease (Heat, redness, swelling, etc.).

• Anterior sternoclavicular
ligament.
• Posterior sternoclavicular
ligament.
• Interclavicular ligament.
• Costoclavicular ligament.
Sternoclavicular Joint Diagnosis
Test for Restricted Abduction
• Patient supine on table with
arms resting easily at the side.
• Operator stands at side or head
of table with paired fingers over
the superior aspect of the
medial end of the clavicle.
• The patient is asked to actively
‘shrug the shoulders’ by
bringing the shoulder tip to the
ear bilaterally.
• The operators palpating fingers
follow the movement at the
medial end of the clavicle.
Sternoclavicular Joint Diagnosis
Test for Restricted Abduction
• The normal finding is equal
movement of the medial end of
both clavicles in a downward
direction.
• A positive finding is the failure
of one clavicle to move
downward when compared to
the opposite. It appears to be
held in the original starting
position.
• Note: This test can also be
done with patient sitting.
Sternoclavicular Joint Muscle Energy
Technique Supine
•
•
•
Operator internally rotates the
dysfunctional upper extremity and
carries it into extension off the edge
of the table to the resistant barrier
while monitoring with the opposite
hand at the sternoclavicular region
Patient performs a 3-to 5-second
muscle contraction to lift the arm
toward the ceiling against operator
resistance for 3 to 5 repetitions.
Following each relaxation, the
operator increases the extension of
the upper extremity to a new
resistant barrier and patient again
repeats the effort of lifting the arm
toward the ceiling.
Sternoclavicular Joint Muscle Energy
Technique Sitting
•
•
•
Patient sitting on table or stool.
Operator standing behind patient with
the thenar eminence of one hand in
contact with the superior aspect of the
medial end of the dysfunctional
clavicle and the other hand controlling
the dysfunctional upper extremity at
the elbow
With the elbow at 90 degrees, the
upper extremity is externally rotated
and abducted to approximately
90 degrees with additional abduction
until the resistant barrier is engaged
Sternoclavicular Joint Muscle Energy
Technique Sitting
•
•
Patient performs muscle
contraction to adduct the
upper extremity three to
five times for 3 to 5
second against
resistance offered at the
elbow by the
operator.
After relaxation, operator
engages new barrier.
RESTRICTED ABDUCTION
OF SC JOINT
caudal pressure on clavicle
sweep arm to opposite knee
Sternoclavicular Joint Diagnosis
Test for Restricted Horizontal Flexion
•
•
•
•
•
•
Patient supine on table.
Operator stands at side or head of table
with fingers symmetrically placed on the
anterior aspect of the medial end of
each clavicle
Patient extends the upper extremities in
front of the body by reaching toward the
ceiling
Operator evaluates movement of the
medial end of each clavicle
The normal finding is for each clavicle to
move symmetrically in a posterior
direction as the lateral end of the
clavicle moves anteriorly
A positive finding is for one clavicle not
to move in a posterior direction during
the reaching effort
Sternoclavicular Joint Muscle Energy
Technique Supine
•
•
•
•
Patient supine on table.
Operator stands on side of table
opposite the dysfunctional
sternoclavicular joint.
Operator places one hand over the
medial end of the dysfunctional
clavicle and the caudad hand
grasps the patient’s shoulder girdle
over the posterior aspect of the
scapula
Patient’s hand grasps back of
operator’s neck with an extended
arm
Sternoclavicular Joint Muscle Energy
Technique Supine
•
•
•
Operator engages the
horizontal flexion barrier by
standing more erect and
lifting the dysfunctional
scapula
Patient pulls down upon the
operator’s neck with 3 to 5
second muscle effort for 3 to
5 repetitions while operator
maintains posterior
compression on the anterior
aspect of the medial end of
the dysfunctional clavicle.
Operator engages new
barrier after each of
patient’s muscular
contraction
RESTRICTED HORIZONTAL
FLEXION OF SC JOINT

ligament.
• Coracoclavicular ligament.
Acromioclavicular Joint
Test for Restricted Abduction and Adduction
•
•
•
•
Patient sitting with operator standing
behind.
Operator’s medial hand palpates
the superior aspect of the ac joint
monitoring a gapping movement at
the ac joint and the lateral hand
controls the pt’s proximal forearm
and takes pt’s upper extremity to
horizontal flexion of 30 degrees then
adds ADduction and ABduction.
Absence of the gapping movement
is evidence of restriction of
adduction or abduction movement.
Comparison is made with the
opposite side.
