Association between neck and shoulder pain, back pain, low back pain and body composition parameters among the Japanese general population

Neck and shoulder pain, back pain and low back pain are common symptoms in Japanese subjects, and it is important to elucidate the pathology and associated factors of these pains due to their frequency and impact on the quality of life (QOL) and activities of daily living (ADL). The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether body composition is associated with these pains … MORE

Increased Sliding of Transverse Abdominis during Contraction after Myofascial Release in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain

Recent evidence suggested the significance of integrity of the tension balance of the muscle-fascia corset system in spinal stability, particularly the posterior musculofascial junction which is adjacent to dorsal located paraspinal muscles joining each other at lateral raphe (LR). The purpose of this study was to compare the contraction of the transversus abdominis at both anterior and posterior musculofascial muscle-fascia junctions in patients with low back pain and asymptomatic participants before and immediately after a sustained manual pressure to LR … ABSTRACT

Factors associated with cervical kinematic impairments in patients with neck pain

Cervical kinematics have functional relevance and are important for assessment and management in patients with neck disorders. A better understanding of factors that might influence cervical kinematics is required. The aim of this study was to determine any relationships between altered kinematics to the symptoms and signs of sensorimotor impairments, neck pain and disability and fear of neck motion in people with neck pain … ABSTRACT

Incidence of Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy Newborns

Incidence of Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy Newborns

Recent evidence suggests that osteopathic manipulative treatment of somatic dysfunction in newborns may decrease complications and hospital length of stay. Such dysfunction may result from external forces related to the birth process, but its incidence is unknown. The objective of this study was to identify the incidence and patterns of somatic dysfunction in healthy newborns at least 6 hours after birth and to correlate those findings with maternal and labor history, gestational age, and findings of the initial newborn assessment performed immediately after birth … ABSTRACT

A new method to assess passive and active ankle stiffness during quiet upright stance

Both passive and active ankle torque contribute to postural stability during quiet upright stance, yet directly measuring their relative contributions is difficult. Here, a new method was developed to estimate passive and active ankle stiffness and damping … ABSTRACT

Pain intensity attenuates movement control of the lumbar spine in low back pain

Pain intensity attenuates movement control of the lumbar spine in low back pain

Pain intensity attenuates muscular activity, proprioception, and tactile acuity, with consequent changes of joint kinematics. People suffering from low back pain (LBP) frequently show movement control impairments of the lumbar spine in sagittal plane. This cross-sectional, observational study investigated if the intensity of LBP attenuates lumbar movement control. The hypothesis was that lumbar movement control becomes more limited with increased pain intensity … ABSTRACT

MindBody/BodyMind – Osteopathy at the Interface of Body & Mind

MindBody/BodyMind – Osteopathy at the Interface of Body & Mind

the team of the Vienna School of Osteopathy (WSO) is delighted to invite you to a congress on the exiting topic „MindBody | BodyMind – Osteopathy at the Interface of Body & Mind“, held from 21 to 26 April in Vienna, Austria. This congress aims at bringing together experts from the fields of neurosciences, psychotherapy and osteopathy to shed more light on the various aspects of the topic and to get one step closer to the ideal of a truly “holistic” treatment.

Scientific research of the past decades has been able to confirm A.T. Still’s early theory of the „Triune Man“ and to show more and more clearly how body and mind, closely and inseparable linked, work as a unit. Concepts like the bio-psycho-social model, psycho-neuro-immunology, placebo and nocebo effects, or the embodiment of mental traumas have found their place in mainstream medicine. Now it is about time to put more focus on these issues also in osteopathy. Please find more details in the entire congress programme (see link below):

Osteopathic educators’ attitudes towards osteopathic principles and their application in clinical practice: A qualitative inquiry

The implicit use of overarching osteopathic principles (OP) in clinical practice is a regulatory requirement; agreed definition of what constitutes such principles remains elusive. The profession currently faces questions of identity and relevance in the face of evidence-informed healthcare. This study sought to investigate the opinions and experiences of practising osteopathic educators as to how OP are relevant to clinical practice in isolation and to the profession as a whole … ABSTRACT

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment improves gait pattern and posture in adult patients with Prader-Willi syndrome

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most frequent type of syndromic obesity and major clinical features include muscular hypotonia, early onset of obesity, short stature, scoliosis, developmental delays, reduced spontaneous physical activity, gait and postural disorders. Improving balance and walking ability in these patients could enhance their health status and quality of life. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of an Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) session on gait pattern and posture in adults with PWS … ABSTRACT
