Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques II

Osteopathy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    As osteopathy is an essentially manipulative clinical practice (use of manual techniques and practices to recover body structure and / or optimize internal functions), this UC aims to provide these fundamental therapeutic tools. It also intends to develop the interpretation skills of homeostasis imbalances using the analysis and observation of the various dimensions of body structure in order to establish a differential diagnosis.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    1. Diagnosis in osteopathy: START concept applied to the upper limb, thorax and dorsal spine; 1.1. Anamnesis; 1.2. Assessmen t in the standing position (in charge); 1.3. Global, regional and special tests; 2. Introduction, mechano-physiologica l principles, indications and contraindications and demonstration; 2.1. Harmonic techniques; 2.2. Joint techniques; 2.3. Muscle energy techniques; 2.4. Spencer Techniques. 2.5. Reduced speed and high amplitude techniques (LVHA); 2.6. High acceleration pulse techniques (HVLA); 3. Technical Positional for Pain Relief.  
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    To know the general principles of osteopathic manipulative techniques. Acquire knowledge to be used in various fields of diagnosis and osteop athic treatment to be applied in other courses and clinical practice. Develop and implem ent the START concept applied to the upper limb, thorax and dorsal spine. Understand the key variables that characterize each of the manipulative techniques. Identify, interpret, describe and treat disorders resulting from the perversion of the r elationship between structure and function. Apply harmo nic, joint techniques and positional techniques for pain relief. Recognize that Spencer techniques are used to improve joint mobility and myofascial shoulder.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    In this curricular unit, the Team-based learning (TBL) methodology is used, with tasks carried out in small groups, allowing the development of the ability to analyze and apply theoretical concepts. In practical classes, the student has prior access to the activities that will be carried out in each class session, which allows for prior reading and preparation. Class session plans are accompanied by a set of questions, to ensure individual preparation, and later discussion of procedures and results.
