Osteopathic Clinical Skills is a channel dedicated to discussing and exploring Osteopathic Clinical Skills concepts and presenting them in an easy to understand manner.
This particular video is intended as a demonstration of the principles of Muscle Energy (ME) Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) method applied to somatic dysfunctions of the Pelvis (innominate and pubic symphysis).
See time-codes below for the application of ME for each of the pelvis somatic dysfunction diagnoses:
00:00 - Posteriorly Rotated Innominate
01:39 - Superior Pubic Shear
02:58 - Anteriorly Rotated Innominate
03:58 - Inferior Pubic Shear
04:55 - Superior Shear (Innominate Upslip)
06:17 - Outflare
07:36 - Inflare
08:24 - Compressed Pubic Symphysis
09:42 - Gapped Pubic Symphysis
It is not intended as a complete instructional video and should not be considered a source of complete OMT instruction.
Instead, it should be treated as a supplement to independent learning using primary Osteopathic Manipulation instructional resources. Clinical skills are best learned and developed with support from faculty in the context of a complete Osteopathic Medical School Curriculum.
