The need for a resource to succinctly describe and provide a primer to osteopathic medical students and graduates is apparent. The philosophy of osteopathic medicine is simple: structure affects function. By supplementing and enhancing one's knowledge of anatomy and physiology with an emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, the benefits of hands-on osteopathic diagnosis and treatment help patients to achieve a high level of wellness by not only focusing on treatment of acute and chronic problems but also on health promotion and disease prevention. You may be someone who needs a review while studying for a board re-certification exam, a resident studying for an in-service exam, or a medical student progressing through their curriculum: this book is for you. This guide begins with an introduction to osteopathic manipulative medicine, discussing basic concepts with integrated functional anatomy and moving into treatment models and a brief survey of relevant concepts of the neuromusculoskeletal examination. It continues with a discussion of the axial spine, followed by the lower extremities. From the lower extremities, the upper extremities are discussed in succession. After the axial and appendicular skeleton, the text delves into osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine. The final chapters integrate all of the topics discussed and provide, in addition to end-of-chapter review questions, board-style vignette questions. All review questions have detailed explanations involving relevant portions of the text. A summary of principal muscles utilized in diagnosis and treatment is provided at the end of the text as well as several quick reference sheets for convenience. Objectives are listed at the beginning of each chapter to primarily identify learning goals. Prior exposure to anatomy is assumed.Table of Contents:Chapter 1 - The Basics of Osteopathic Manipulative MedicineChapter 2 - Treatment Models / Reflex Somatic DysfunctionsChapter 3 - Cervical SpineChapter 4 - Thoracic SpineChapter 5 - Clavicle, Sternum, and RibsChapter 6 - Lumbar SpineChapter 7 - Innominates, Hip, Pelvis, and SacrumChapter 8 - Lower Extremity and GaitChapter 9 - Upper ExtremityChapter 10 - Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative MedicineChapter 11 - Applications of Osteopathic Manipulative MedicineChapter 12 - Board-style Review QuestionsChapter 13 - Quick Hit Questions
