Originally developed for assessment in medical schools, the OSCE has been widely adapted for teaching, assessment, and certification purposes in most health professions. An OSCE usually comprises a circuit of short stations. At each station there is an examiner to evaluate the student and one standardized patient. Candidates rotate through all the stations, completing the whole circuit. In this way, all candidates take the same stations. The OSCE is designed to test the clinical performance, skills and competencies of students in clinical practice. It is considered to be an improvement over traditional examination methods because the stations c...

Furthermore, spinal manipulation delivered to dysfunctional joints prior to motor skill training is known to modulate these changes. The importance of the cerebellum in motor learning and motor skill acquisition is increasingly being recognized. The N18 SEP potential is thought to reflect inhibitory activity at the level of the medulla, most likely in the dorsal column nuclei and/or the accessory inferior olives. The inferior olives are a vital component of the spino-cerebellum pathway. The N24 SEP peak is thought to reflect activity in the pathway...

Repeated headaches burden sufferers and negatively impact family life, social activity and work capacity. Worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, migraine alone is 19th among all causes of years lived with disability. Headache is third among reasons for seeking chiropractic care in North America. Treatment modalities typically used by chiropractors to care for headache patients include spinal manipulation, mobilization, device assisted spinal manipulation, education about modifiable lifestyle factors, physical therapy modalities, heat/ice, massage, advanced soft tissue therapies such as trigger point therapy, strengthening and stretching exercises. There is a growing expectation for health professions, including chirop...

It is possible that a relationship exists between low-back pain (LBP) and modifications of the center of gravity and of load distribution to the LE. It is also hypothesized that chiropractic adjustment (CA) may modify these measurements.

Since the original American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia were first published in 1990, American and European guidelines have been developed for the standard medical management of this elusive condition. However, these guidelines only contain modest information about complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatments, despite the common use of CAM therapies by fibromyalgia patients. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature for randomized trials of CAM interventions for fibromyalgia.

Chiropractors have begun to embrace the biopsychosocial concept by incorporating “mind-body” treatments in both assessment and therapy. To date few “mind-body” treatments have been scrutinized under controlled conditions. Neuro-emotional technique (NET) is a new mind-body stress reduction technique that combines traditional desensitization principles with complementary modalities including acupuncture points and muscle testing.

The academy was based on the premise that if youth are mentored by college-age students, they will be more inclined to go to college. While this was the original intent, it became clear that a second unintended outcome of the academy was that it provided an effective method of introducing students and their families from minority and underserved populations to the Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine professions.

The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners reports care to children increased 7.4% from 2005 to 2010. Both doctors of chiropractic (DCs) and pediatric groups have called for more research on this topic. The aim of this study was to report usage of manipulative therapy (chiropractic/osteopathy) by children in the United States along with the specific health conditions for which they sought care; and examine any potential relationship of usage with various patient/parent-based characteristics.

The evaluation of kinematics is of great value for kinetic functional diagnosis made by health professionals. The lumbopelvic kinematics can be determined directly using radiological examination or by indirect methods, which are usually based on kinemetry. Among the indirect methods that use kinemetry, photogrammetry has been often used as a kinetic functional diagnostic tool. This tool can provide information of body segments based on the use of external markers placed on the skin surface.

The painful sensitivity observed in acute or chronic injuries of synovial joints involves the formation of different local proinflammatory agents, including reactive oxygen species. Previous studies by our research group demonstrated an increase in systemic catalase activity after six treatment sessions of HVLA manipulation, suggesting a correlation between the analgesic effects of this treatment and oxidative stress parameters.

It is speculated that with FSS there is a breakdown of the entire dynamic shoulder complex, but particularly of the scapulothoracic joint mediated by neuropathology of cranial nerve 11 causing malfunction of the trapezius muscle. The purpose of this paper is to describe the outcomes of patients presenting to a private chiropractic practice specializing in the treatment of FSS using the OTZ Tension Adjustment.

A lack of flexibility has been associated with an increased risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries and athletic underperformance. The cause of reduced flexibility can be multifactorial, with both physical and mental/emotional etiologies. It has been previously shown that stretching regularly may quickly improve flexibility; however, when it is discontinued, gains are promptly lost. An alternative intervention with greater durability is needed. We hypothesized that Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), a technique previously shown to be effective at reducing stress, may also be effective at improving general flexibility. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of NET, a mind-body technique, on general flexi...

In the 1970s, another application of manual muscle testing (MMT), called Applied Kinesiology (AK), was developed by Dr. George Goodheart. Its premise is that a muscle will be less able to resist a force when there is aberrant nervous input, and muscles are labeled as either strong or weak accordingly. Since then, other MMT techniques have been developed that assess a patient's response to semantic stimuli. Monti et al. found that, following the speaking of congruent statements, a muscle was able to resist significantly more force compared to after speaking incongruent statements. A congruent statement is defined as one which the speaker ...

Every year, approximately one third of community-dwelling older adults experience one or more falls. A number of risk factors have been identified that increase the risk of falling, including increasing age, lower limb disorders and balance disorders amongst others. Manual therapists routinely treat patients with lower limb dysfunction, muscle weakness, neck pain, back pain and other conditions that may affect balance and lead to an increased risk of falling. If manual therapy results in successful treatment of conditions that increase the risk of a fall, then it may be possible that manual therapists can play a positive role in falls prevention programmes.

Previous investigations have explored the effect of load, angular velocity and muscle fatigue on FRP. Recent research showed that when back and hip extensor muscles are fatigued changes in FRP parameters and lumbo-pelvic motion occur, possibly altering lumbar spine stability. Since it is widely accepted that the abdominal muscles also contribute to lumbar stability, and because many authors have suggested that inadequate trunk muscle endurance could contribute to the development and chonicization of low back pain, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of abdominal muscle fatigue on trunk neuromuscular and kinematic...

Nor does it show that these chiropractors are, in theory, less willing to adopt an EBP than other healthcare professions. They are similar to their counterparts in terms of not bearing this out on occasions. However, a larger study would have to be carried out to establish if these chiropractors are representative of the wider chiropractic profession before similarities could be draw between chiropractors and other healthcare professionals.

A reasonable caution to the parent/guardian is that one child per 100 to 200 attending may have a mild AE, with irritability or soreness lasting less than 24h, resolving without the need for additional care beyond initial chiropractic recommendations.

Despite this, there are more chiropractors today than ever before, educated to a higher standard and more geographically dispersed.

The differential for ankle masses is so broad that without tissue biopsy a good management plan cannot be initiated. Imaging does play an important role, however, in identifying the characteristics of soft tissue masses. This following case demonstrates the importance of close cooperation between referring physician, orthopedic oncologist, radiologist, and pathologist in establishing proper diagnosis and management of rare soft tissue masses.

Many orthopaedic tests for the shoulder are not specific for any one pathological condition and two or more conditions often co-exist, therefore, it is not surprising that clinicians are often unable to accurately diagnose shoulder joint pathology. Once shoulder pain due to conditions such as tumour, infection, trauma, systemic inflammatory disorders and referred pain from elsewhere has been ruled out, a more global and functional approach to diagnosis and management of non-specific shoulder pain is advocated. This paper presents an alternative diagnostic and therapeutic approach used to manage non-specific shoulder pain illustrated by three cases. (Source: Clinical Chiropract...

Unfortunately it was not Tinea but Lyme disease, the potentially fatal bacterial infection.

The majority of the patients associate the crack with a physical feeling of release; therefore they assume that the sound is proof of a well-achieved adjustment. Nevertheless, patients do not discard the therapeutic benefit of an adjustment that did not achieve the audible release. This appears to be due to their past experiences and their trust in the chiropractor.

With the future possibility of chiropractors being given limited prescribing rights, practitioner appreciation of possible drug toxicity problems becomes even more imperative.This is a complex arena with no ‘cookbook’ approach easily available to hand. For this reason a good grounding in pharmacological principles should now be a vital part of every chiropractor's repertoire.This introduction is the first of a series of articles placing the utilisation of pharmacological principles within a clinical setting.

Based on our experience, we believe that the presented collaboration should encourage closer relations between ENT physicians and chiropractors, and hopefully encourage further research on the topic.
