STUDY DESIGN Ten young, asymptomatic male subjects underwent 11 clinically relevant spinal manipulative treatments along the length of the spine to test the magnitude and extent of reflex responses associated with the treatments. OBJECTIVES To determine the magnitude and extent of reflex responses elicited by spinal manipulative treatments. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Spinal manipulative tre...

BACKGROUND Shoulder complaints are common in primary care and have unfavourable long term prognosis. Our objective was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of manipulative therapy of the cervicothoracic spine and the adjacent ribs in addition to usual medical care (UMC) by the general practitioner in the treatment of shoulder complaints. METHODS This economic evaluation was conducted alongs...

Prior research has linked visual perception of tools with plausible motor strategies. Thus, observing a tool activates the putative action-stream, including the left posterior parietal cortex. Observing a hand functionally grasping a tool involves the inferior frontal cortex. However, tool-use movements are performed in a contextual and grasp specific manner, rather than relative isolation. Our...

The use of manipulative objects in the teaching of younger children has been a well know and accepted educational practice for over 200 years. The use of manipulative blocks have been valuable in the teaching of subjects such as the alphabet, linear and multidimensional measurements and early mathematics to name a few. In the current work, we present a brief overview of the traditional use of t...

INTRODUCTION Upper trunk brachial plexus palsy can result from high-energy trauma and has never been reported following spinal manipulation. BACKGROUND The case is presented of a patient who developed an acute brachial plexus upper trunk palsy following spinal manipulative therapy. DISCUSSION Discussion is made on the incidence of complications following manipulation and recommendations to ...

One of the most complex and least understood transmission strategies displayed by pathogenic parasites is that of manipulation of host behaviour. A wide variety of parasites alter their host's behaviour, including species of medical and veterinary importance, such as Diplostomum spathaceum, Echinococcus spp. and Toxoplasma gondii. The manipulative ability of these parasites has implications for...

New daily persistent headache is a refractory headache with an elusive cause and treatment. Limited available data suggest that abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system may increase vulnerability to this type of headache. Osteopathic manipulative treatment has been used successfully to manage primary headache disorders. In this case report, a patient with new daily persistent headache and se...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is 1 of the most common peripheral nerve entrapment disorders. Osteopathic manipulative medicine can be invaluable in diagnosing and managing CTS. Combined with a patient's history and a standard physical examination, an osteopathic structural examination can facilitate localizing the nerve entrapment, diagnosing CTS, and monitoring the disease process. Osteopathic ...
