Menopause, chiropractic examination and treatment, and salivary hormone levels: Correlations and outcomes
Chiropractic Journal of Australia, 2013Co-Authors: Scott C. Cuthbert, Anthony L. RosnerAbstract:Introduction: Fluctuating hormone levels in women at the time of menopause is a common and potentially disabling problem that is frequently confronted in chiropractic clinical practice. Although this problem is well recognized, it is often misdiagnosed and poorly treated. Methods: Correlations between a chiropractic physical examination procedure and salivary hormone tests for 10 women experiencing peri-menopausal and post-menopausal discomforts are reported here. Chiropractic treatment for disturbances associated with menopause in these patients was evaluated with the Menopause Rating Scale, a validated outcome measure used in the treatment of menopause. Results: As part of this approach we have observed that a significant subset of patients with peri- and post-menopausal disorders and abnormal hormone levels demonstrate distinct neuromuscular impairments that can be detected using the manual muscle test (MMT) employed in Applied Kinesiology (AK). Discussion: The MMT findings revealed strong correlations with the salivary hormone tests. Treatment based upon these findings led to substantial improvements of the menopausal symptoms reported.

Applied Kinesiology: distinctions in its definition and interpretation.
Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2012Co-Authors: Anthony L. Rosner, Scott C. CuthbertAbstract:Modification of the motor system in assessing and treating as well as understanding one of the causes of musculoskeletal dysfunctions is a topic of growing importance in healthcare. Applied Kinesiology (AK) addresses this interest in that it is a system which attempts to evaluate numerous aspects of health (structural, chemical, and mental) by the manual testing of muscles combined with other standard methods of diagnosis. It leads to a variety of conservative, non-invasive treatments which involve joint manipulations or mobilizations, myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition and dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating environmental irritants, and various reflex techniques. The effectiveness of these ancillary treatments is believed to be consistent with the expanded construct validity of the manual muscle test (MMT), as described, although this assertion has primarily been tested in outcome studies. AK and its adjunctive procedures (challenge and therapy localization) are highlighted in this review providing details of its implementation as prescribed by an International College of Applied Kinesiology's Board of Examiners, cited for its scholarly and scientific activities. Because these procedures are believed to identify specific articular, soft tissue, biochemical, or emotional issues underlying muscle function, the applicability of this diagnostic method for all clinicians treating muscle imbalance disorders is described. As of yet, MMT efficacy in therapy localization and challenge techniques has not been established in published, peer-reviewed research. A variety of challenges likewise remain for professional AK to establish itself as an emerging science, with numerous gaps in the literature and testable hypotheses enumerated. Of particular concern are a multiplicity of derivatives of AK that have been described in the literature, which should be greeted with caution in light of the fact that they lack one or more of the essential attributes of AK as described in this report. The validity of these studies which have been critical of Applied Kinesiology appears in many instances to be no greater than several of the randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case control studies, and case studies found in this communication to support various aspects of Applied Kinesiology.

Conservative management of post-surgical urinary incontinence in an adolescent using Applied Kinesiology: a case report.
Alternative medicine review : a journal of clinical therapeutic, 2011Co-Authors: Scott C. Cuthbert, Anthony L. RosnerAbstract:INTRODUCTION: This case report describes the successful treatment of an adolescent female suffering daily stress and occasional total urinary incontinence with Applied Kinesiology methods and chiropractic manipulative therapy. PATIENT PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old female developed unpredictable urinary incontinence and right hip pain immediately following emergency open appendectomy surgery. The patient was forced to wear an incontinence pad throughout the day and night for 10 months because of unpredictable urinary incontinence. ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION: Chiropractic and Applied Kinesiology (AK) methods – a multi-modal diagnostic technique that utilizes manual muscle tests (MMT) for the detection of musculoskeletal impairments and specific AK techniques for correction of identified issues – were utilized to diagnose and treat this patient for muscle impairments in the lumbar spine and pelvis. RESULTS: Patient experienced a rapid resolution of her urinary incontinence and hip pain. A six-year follow-up confirmed complete resolution of symptoms. DISCUSSION: In this case, utilization of MMT allowed for the identification of several inhibited muscles. Utilizing the appropriate corrective techniques improved the strength of these muscles and resulted in their being graded as facilitated. Symptoms of urinary incontinence and hip pain resolved with this diagnostic and treatment approach. CONCLUSION: AK methods were useful for the discovery of a number of apparent causative factors underlying this patient’s urinary incontinence and hip pain. Treatment for these pelvic-floor muscle and joint abnormalities resulted in rapid, long-lasting resolution of her urinary incontinence and hip pain.

Applied Kinesiology Management of Long-term Head Pain Following Automotive Injuries: A Case Report
Chiropractic Journal of Australia, 2010Co-Authors: Scott C. Cuthbert, Anthony L. RosnerAbstract:Objectives: To observe the progress of a patient with chronic headache after whiplash and other injuries during and following Applied Kinesiology (AK)-guided chiropractic and cranial evaluation and treatment. Clinical Features: Single 56-year old patient suffering severe daily cervico-cranial headaches following 2 automobile accidents, despite 7 years of manipulative, chiropractic, physical therapy, psychotherapy, narcotic, and medical treatments. Intervention and Outcome: The patient underwent a series of AK muscle weakness tests which directed mobilisations and manipulations in the cranial, cervical, pelvic, and plantar regions over 8 visits during a 3-week period. During and following this intervention, virtually all symptomatology was resolved with the score of 0 on the neck and low back pain visual analog scales (VAS).The patient has remained free of her original symptoms for 8 years following these treatments. Conclusions: The manual muscle testing (MMT) procedures used in this patient's care offered useful information directly linking the assessment procedures to the treatment method that provided long-term resolution of her chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain.

Manuelle Therapie bei zervikaler Dystonie
Manuelle Medizin, 2008Co-Authors: H. GartenAbstract:Die Diagnostik und Therapie eines Falles von zervikaler Dystonie (Torticollis spasticus), einer zentralen Bewegungsstörung, wird als Beispiel für die funktionelle neurologische Betrachtung und Therapie mit Techniken des neuromuskulären funktionellen Assessments (NFA) dargestellt. Die Diagnostik besteht ausschließlich aus einfachen klinisch-neurologischen Tests, die Therapie beinhaltet chirotherapeutische und funktionell-rehabilitative Maßnahmen. Bereits Carrick [ 5 ] publizierte eine Studie zu diesem Krankheitsbild in der Literatur der Applied Kinesiology. Die vorliegende Arbeit belegt, dass die funktionellen neurologischen Modelle, wie sie in der „chiropractic neurology“ angewandt werden, in der praktischen Umsetzung gute klinische Resultate zeitigen. Daher sollte das Augenmerk auf die Verifizierung dieser Modelle mit den modernen Techniken der Neurowissenschaften (fMRT, SPECT etc.) gelegt werden. Diagnostics and therapy of a case of cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis), a brain-based movement disorder, are presented as an example of a functional neurological approach with techniques of neuromuscular functional assessment (NFA). The diagnostic tools are exclusively simple clinical neurological tests; the therapy uses chiropractic and functional rehabilitative techniques. Carrick [ 5 ] presented a study on this disorder in the literature of Applied Kinesiology before. This case study demonstrates that the application of functional neurological models used in chiropractic neurology provides rewarding results. Therefore emphasis should be laid on the verification of these models by means of modern techniques of neuroscience (fMRI, SPECT, etc.).

Herde und Störfelder im Trigeminusbereich
Manuelle Medizin, 2007Co-Authors: H. Garten, S. Girthofer, B. KleinAbstract:Herde und Störfelder haben strukturelle Auswirkungen auf die Halswirbelsäule und primär oder sekundär auch auf das kraniomandibuläre System. Implantate sind zu einer Standardmethode der modernen Zahnmedizin geworden und sind dann eine Ideallösung, wenn der sie tragende Kiefer sicher herdfrei ist. Fixe Überbrückungen von Kieferleerstellen sowie die starre Verbindung (Verblockung) von Implantaten mit Aufbauten können zu einem wenig bekannten Störfaktor werden, der durch intraossäre Spannungszustände gekennzeichnet ist. Lokale und entfernte Dysfunktionen mit Schmerzsyndromen können die Folge sein. Ein erheblicher Teil der Herde bzw. Störfelder, wie Wurzelspitzengranulome und Leerkieferostitiden, und intraossäre Spannungen lassen sich mit den üblichen klinischen Methoden (Radiologie und Vitalitätsprobe) oft nur unsicher detektieren. Ein funktionelles und zuverlässiges Diagnoseprotokoll bietet das funktionelle neuromuskuläre Assessment der Professionellen Applied Kinesiology zusammen mit der Decoderdermographie. Die Vorgehensweise wird dargestellt und an Fallbeispielen erläutert. Foci and areas of disturbance are defined. Both have structural impact on the cervical spine and primarily or secondarily on the craniomandibular system. Implants have become a standard in modern odontology and are ideal if the bone that carries them is free of foci. Fixed bridges of edentulous jaw areas as well as rigid junctions and block crowning of implants may cause a disturbance, which is widely ignored. It is characterized by intraosseous tension. Local and distant dysfunctions including pain syndromes may result. A great deal of foci and areas of disturbance like radical granulomas and ostitis as well as intraosseous tension cannot be detected with the usual clinical methods (X-ray, vitality test). Functional neuromuscular assessment of professional Applied Kinesiology offers a reproducible diagnostic protocol if used together with decoder dermography. The protocol is described and illustrated by case reports.

Applied Kinesiology als funktionelle Neurologie
Manuelle Medizin, 2000Co-Authors: H. GartenAbstract:“When muscles fight bones, the muscles never lose.” Die deutschsprachigen Autoritäten der manuellen Therapie (Lewit, Dvorac, Janda u. a.) haben die Erkenntnisse der Osteopathie zumindestens in Teilen in ein Konzept moderner manueller Therapie aufgenommen. Erstaunlicherweise werden aber in der Regel die Errungenschaften der Applied Kinesiology, die nunmehr doch schon 30 Jahre alt ist, weiterhin wenig beachtet. Dies liegt sicher auch an der Problematik des “Öffentlichkeitsbilds” der Applied Kinesiology, das der Anerkennung innerhalb der seriösen Medizin gewichtige Hindernisse in den Weg gelegt hat. Diese Arbeit wurde mit der Absicht geschrieben, moderne Sichtweisen der Grundlagen der Applied Kinesiology darzustellen und damit der Methode den Weg zu ebnen, in der modernen manuellen Medizin als Standardmethode integriert zu werden. Die neurologischen Erklärungsmodelle wurden Arbeiten von Schmitt u. Yanuck [92], die Übersicht über die wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten zur Applied Kinesiology u. a. einem Artikel von Modyka u. Yanuck [69] mit Genehmigung des International College of Applied Kinesiology entnommen. Es wurde darauf verzichtet, einzelne spezielle Techniken der Applied Kinesiology darzustellen. Die Diagnostik und Korrektur von Wirbelsäulen-, Becken und Schädelläsionen sowie die kieferorthopädischen Anwendungen sind in den einschlägigen Werken nachzulesen (Gerz (30) Publikation von Garten, der Teile dieses Textes als Vorabdruck mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Hippokrates-Verlags entnommen sind [91]). Dieser Artikel beschränkt sich darauf, neben einem kurzen geschichtlichen Abriss die Grundlagen der Werkzeuge der Applied Kinesiology im Zusammenhang mit deren wissenschaftlichen Erklärungsmodellen darzustellen: manueller Muskeltest, sensorische diagnostische Provokation (Challenge), Therapielokalisation.

das autonome nervensystem in der Applied Kinesiology
Zeitschrift für Komplementärmedizin, 2015Co-Authors: Hans GartenAbstract:Die Applied Kinesiology verwendet die Testung von Skelettmuskeln, um funktionell neurologische Zusammenhange darzustellen. Mit dem sog. diagnostischen „Challenge« werden Antworten auf spezifische Fragestellungen zu Dysfunktionen und moglichen Therapien von Patienten gefunden. Die Diagnostik zu Fragestellungen, die das „vegetative« (autonome) Nervensystem betreffen, wurde bisher in der Applied Kinesiology wenig angewandt, obwohl das Prinzip identisch ist: Durch Challenges (z. B. die Lichtreaktion der Pupille) werden autonome Antworten ausgelost und deren Qualitat bewertet. Die Vorgehensweise und Interpretation sowie therapeutische Moglichkeiten werden im Artikel dargestellt.

Akupunktur und Applied Kinesiology: Rationale Therapiekonzepte
Deutsche Zeitschrift für Akupunktur, 2003Co-Authors: Hans GartenAbstract:In dem vorliegenden Artikel wird in die Methode der Applied Kinesiology eingeführt. Die Problematik von Projektionen bei der Anwendung von subjektiven Test- und Therapieverfahren wird dargestellt. Besondere Beachtung findet die Verquickung von Akupunkturtheorie mit Applied Kinesiology. Am Beispiel der Theorie der Fünf Wandlungsphasen der Akupunkphase tur werden die Gefahren aufgezeigt, wenn ein Methaphernsystem nicht als solches, sondern als biologisches Faktum verstanden wird. Im zweiten Teil wird ein kritischer Überblick über die Möglichkeiten der Akupunktur im Rahmen der Applied Kinesiology gegeben: › Therapiekonzepte nach den Fünf Wandlungsphasen und nach der Syndromdiagnostik › Therapie osteomuskulärer Störungen mittels tendinomuskulärer Leitbahnen › energetische Leitbahnbalancierungen. The article introduces the method of Applied Kinesiology. The potential danger of projections in the application of subjective diagnostic and therapeutic methods is illustrated. Special emphasis is given to the combination of acupuncture theory and Applied Kinesiology. The theory of five phase acupuncture is demonstrated as an example of a metaphoric system, which should not be misinterpreted as facts in a rigid way. The second part of the article gives a critical overview of the possibilities of application of acupuncture in the context of Applied Kinesiology: › Therapy concepts using syndrome diagnosis and five phase acupuncture › therapy of musculoskeletal disorders via tendinomuscular meridians › energetic meridian balancing.

Muskeldysbalancen als Ursache von Überlastungsbeschwerden und Gelenkschmerzen
Erfahrungsheilkunde, 2010Co-Authors: Friedrich Molsberger, Wolfgang KohlsAbstract:Complaints of the locomotor apparatus due to overstress are often caused by muscular dysfunctions and muscular dysbalances in connection with repetitive movement patterns. The goal of a therapy is to identify and to treat the causes of the dysbalances, and thus make an autoregulation for the body possible. Many complaints can be treated effectively with acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology, neural therapy, and automobilization of the craniosacral system. This is shown with the help of 5 case studies.

Gallensteine mit Akupunktur und Applied Kinesiology behandelt
Erfahrungsheilkunde, 2009Co-Authors: Friedrich Molsberger, Ralf Conrad, Robert EiseleAbstract:A medical doctor had been suffering with nausea and pain in the right upper abdomen. The complaints where apparently caused by sludge and concretions in the gall bladder, as seen by ultrasound. A cholecystectomy was suggested by the surgeon. After four treatments with acupuncture and Applied Kinesiology complaints disappeared. The ultrasound showed that sludge and concretions had been completely flushed from the gallbladder.
