Immediate and Prolonged Effects of a 10-Week Non-Fatiguing Maximal Effort Exercise Protocol on Strength in Deconditioned Men and Women with Multiple Sclerosis: A Multi-Center Study (see page 342)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients become deconditioned and weak; poorly tolerating aerobic exercise or fatigue. Pilot data (JAOA102(5):267-275; 2002) showed significant strength improvement after a 12-week program combining maximal effort exercise (MEE) with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)…. 014-Abstract-IsoBALANCE-Document-1-2-leg-Balance-pg-342

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

“The roles of Exercise, Cooling and Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis,” 1997

The result of this literature review was to design a study to address the questions of the effectiveness of exercise, acute cooling and OMT (Osteopathic manipulative treatment) in the treatment of MS individuals. These results may be applied to the performance of man in weightlessness (micro-gravity). 001-RolesofExerciseCoolingOsteopathicManipulativeTherapy
