Supracondylar humeral fractures are the most common pediatric elbow fracture, accounting for approximately 60% of all pediatric elbow fractures for children less than 10 years of age. For nondisplaced supracondylar humeral fractures, the standard of care is to immobilize the affected arm with an above the elbow-long cast for 3 weeks. Following cast removal, the recommendations for rehabilitation are conflicting, between doing some physical therapy as part of recovery or no therapy and letting the arm heal on its own for upwards of 12 weeks. The purpose of this case report was to observe if the addition of osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT) could improve the somatic dysfunctions associated with post-immobilization elbow stiffness and reduce the amount of recovery time. Various OMT techniques were utilized over a span of 8 sessions across 4 weeks. The use of OMT provided relief of stiffness and return to full range of motion of the affected upper extremity joints. The incorporation of OMT as a part of a recovery regimen could be considered for future utilization, research, and evaluation.","PeriodicalId":341091,"journal":{"name":"The AAO Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114581420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, the Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (NMM/OMM) Department at Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine Pacific (COMP) and Pacific-Northwest (COMP-NW) was required to transition from a hands-on, in-person model to entirely virtual teaching. With the rapid transition, student feedback was paramount in determining the effectiveness of the virtual curriculum model and establishing evidence-based guidelines to inform future online delivery methods for the teaching of osteopathic manipulative medicine.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 A 7-question Qualtrics survey was developed to assess the first and second-year osteopathic medical students’ perception of their online curriculum participation, the preferred method of participation, barriers to participation, and how the NMM/OMM department can improve the curriculum to increase student participation. The survey was distributed electronically to the students at Western University of Health Sciences COMP and COMP-NW.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 85 students participated in the survey. The most preferred method of participation was an anonymous online polling platform such as “Kahoot!” The most frequently reported barrier to participation was lack of confidence. The most popular suggestion about increasing student participation was to increase more anonymous polls or gamification, such as “Jeopardy,” for review sessions. The logistic regression analysis showed that the following 3 student characteristics were the most decisive factors for a student to report that more participation would increase their OMM knowledge: fear of public speaking (p = 0.024), difficulty staying focused during online curriculum (p=0.041), and being a first-year osteopathic medical student (p<0.01).\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Online curriculum design and delivery pose new and unique challenges to teachers and institutions worldwide.

The meaning and use of biogen is placed within its historical context and contemporaneous philosophical influences are explored. Early definitions of osteopathy as both a bio-mechanical and a bio-energetic method of healing are revealed. The work of William Garner Sutherland is discussed in terms of his acceptance and use of bio-energetic terminology and concepts. The influence of Walter Russell on Sutherland’s work is also discussed. Still’s personal traits of imagination, memory and intuition are discussed as the foundation of his lived experience of osteopathy.","PeriodicalId":341091,"journal":{"name":"The AAO Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121955505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
