No study has systematically measured somatic dysfunction (SD) in patients with acute cerebral ischemia or tested the reliability of a new osteopathic diagnostic construct, called the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS) model. The methodology assesses the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ system, shifting emphasis of examination away from structural/postural malalignment to whole systemic motion and allows quantification, prioritization, and profiling of disproportionate motion imbalances as compared to traditional diagnostic criteria.
The post Examiner reliability of a systematic osteopathic musculoskeletal examination model in patients with stroke: results from the SOMADC-AC study appeared first on American Osteopathic Association.
