IsoTOUCH® Pressure Monitoring System: Establishing Protocols for Gathering Baseline Data Needed for Teaching and Research

Technology may allow students to more confidently mimic pressures for accurate somatic dysfunction diagnosis and successful osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Such technology also aids documentation of diagnostic and treatment pressure ranges used in research or care protocols. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, in conjunction with Drs. Vardy & Dombroski, are developing protocols for a […]

Measuring pressures used by physicians and students for cervical diagnosis of segmental somatic dysfunction using the IsoTOUCH ®Palpation Monitor System (see page 327)

For manual medicine (MM) physicians, developing palpatory skills needed to diagnose somatic dysfunction prior to treatment and assess subsequent change is crucial in determining safety and efficacy. Several scientific recording methods have attempted to quantify palpation demonstrated technological limitations. 010-AOA_Research_Conference Measuring Pressures Study_page327
