The Meaning of Tensegrity Principles for Osteopathic Medicine

Значение принципов Тенсегрити в остеопатической медицине

Carsten Pfluger


October 2008
Master thesis
for the degree “Master of Science” in Osteopathy
submitted at the Donau University Krems
and the Vienna School of Osteopathy



Abstract

This study deals with the significance of tensegrity principles for osteopathic medicine. The central questions are, whether and in which way these principles can be applied in osteopathy and which scientific basis the application has.

The first part of the study, on the one hand, deals with the development of the tensegrity principles and their application in architecture as well as the transfer of these principles to biological systems in the micro- and macroscopic area with the help of basic research. The understanding of this basis is essential to assess the transfer of these principles in osteopathy. On the other hand, a literature analysis is carried out and it is investigated in which form these principles are transferred to osteopathic medicine. In doing so one concentrates on the quality of the particular sources. In the second part of the qualitative study a critical discussion on the application of the tensegrity principles in osteopathy takes place. In the course of an expert interview, six experienced osteopaths are asked for their opinion on these principles.

It is only these expert interviews that make a critical debate with the tensegrity principles possible, as in literature such a critical discussion does not take place.

Диссертация на степень магистра остеопатии

Knowing hands converse with an expressive body -
An experience of osteopathic touch


Seth Consedine

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of
Master of Osteopathy, Unitec New Zealand, 2007


Abstract

Aim
The aim of this phenomenological study was to examine and describe the patient’s experience of touch during a consultation with an osteopathic practitioner.

Background
Touch is the process by which one person physically contacts another individual and as such plays an integral role in osteopathic practice. Osteopathic practitioners use touch in almost every facet of care including examination, diagnosis and treatment. Although this form of communication is intrinsic to osteopathic practice, there has been no research undertaken to date that qualifies the experience of osteopathic touch within a treatment session.

Methods
Three local osteopaths identified five potential participants from their own practice. Data were recorded during five face-to-face semi-structured interviews that were conducted by the primary researcher. Interviews were transcribed and the textual data was analysed using the principles of van Manen’s (1997) hermeneutic phenomenology. Using this approach, significant themes were identified in the data and a description of the lived experience of osteopathic touch emerged.

Results
Three phenomenological themes were identified in the data and broken down into nine constituent subthemes. Theme [A] The Process – a physical interaction, drew attention to the physical patient-practitioner relationship and the physical and psychological implications of this interaction. Theme Profession alism – a practitioner’s responsibility explored the role of touch in developing professional boundaries and emphasised the patient’s expectations surrounding the physical contact, while Theme [C] Reassurance – a therapeutic necessity examined the role of touch in reassuring the patient about their presenting complaint and the practitioner’s medical knowledge and technical skill.

[B]Conclusions

The experience of touch for the participants in an osteopathic session is one of care and security. For the participants touch plays a critical role in the therapeutic relationship by supporting and validating their experiences and by communicating practitioner humanism and professionalism. Furthermore, the experience of touch was identified as a critical component of the therapeutic interaction.
Indications for further research and implications for the osteopathic profession are discussed.

Three leaves of Glenard
Examination of a functional aspect


An Interexaminer- and Intraexaminer Reliability Study

Normen Wolke

“[...] the container is governed by, and governs, the viscera”
(Stone C, 2000, p.59)


Master Thesis zur Erlangung des Grades
Master of Science in Osteopathie
an der Donau Universitat Krems,
niedergelegt an der
Wiener Schule fur Osteopathie
Berlin, May 2009


Abstract

A look at the research methods applied in manual and osteopathic medicine quickly shows that the results of the interexaminer- and intraexaminer reliability often are inadequate.
Based on our research, a flaw in the verification of examination methods of visceral osteopathy can be described. In order to clarify this aspect of osteopathy, it is the aim of the present study to assess a method of palpatory examination of visceral osteopathy.
This examination method focuses on two aspects, the evaluation of abdominal
tone and tension-conditions, and is reviewed in relation to its interexaminer- and intraexaminer reliability. The anatomical basis for this test is "the tension-model of the three leaves of Glenard", a functional construct which had been described by the French surgeon Glenard Franz in his book "Les ptoses viscerale" (1899). This model is adopted in the concept of visceral osteopathy and forms the base of many osteopathic textbooks.
At the time of our research, no scientific study could be identified that verifies this model and the statements derived from it. Thus it is the task of this study to testify the tension modell described by Glenard (1899, p. 535 ff) by means of the tone and tensiontest.
The basis of this survey is an inter- and intra-reliability design with repeated measurements to be able to testify the efficency of assessing the tone and tension of the abdomen.
The structural analysis of the examination results is done by means of Cohen's Kappa index.
Before the examination, all osteopaths were trained with the objective of achieving a coordinated test-performance and interpretation. In the subsequent examination, seven osteopaths twice analyzed 33 patients. In the second run, the osteopaths carried out the examination wearing sleeping masks to prevent them from optically recognizing their patients. To assess tone and tension, the criteria hyper / normo / hypo were introduced and documented in a specific examination form. Additional assistents were appointed to document the findings and to ensure a smooth test run.
In general, the results of an assessment of the tone are more reliable (moderate reliability) than an evaluation of the abdominal tension (poor reliability). In total, it must be stated that the reliability of this test is too low.
Based on the results of this survey, a general trend in manual medicine can be
confirmed. This trend points to the fact that in terms of an average rating, the findings of interexaminer reliability are less reliable than those of intraexaminer reliability.
A final assessment of this examination shows that the scientific investigation of both the "tension model of Glenard" as well as its use in visceral osteopathy is insufficient.
The present study is criticizing this situation and would like to suggest a further exploration of this revealing aspect of visceral osteopathy.

Description

Oseopathy is a science with possibilities as great as the magnitude of the heavens. It is a science dealing with the natural forces of the body. We work as osteopaths with the traditional principle in mind that the tendency in the patient's body is always toward the normal. There is much to discover in the science of osteopathy by working with the forces within that manifest the healing processes. These forces within the patient are greater than any blind force that can safely be brought to bear from without. - William Garner Sutherland, D.O.

What is Potency?

Exploring Practitioners’ Experiences of the Phenomenon
of Potency in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field


Helen Harrison


A research project submitted in partial requirement of the degree of
Master of Osteopathy, Unitec Institute of Technology, 2009



Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of Potency as experienced by five practitioners of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. Phenomena can be elusive. The aim of investigating Potency, as a lived experience, is to gain an in-depth knowledge that will help to deepen understanding to help guide osteopathic practice. In recognition of the increasing trend towards Evidence-based Practice, this study will contribute to the emerging body of research which osteopathy needs to support its position as a mainstream healthcare provider. The exploratory nature of this study fits the qualitative research design and is a hermeneutic phenomenological study guided by the ideas of van Manen. Practitioners for the study were selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected from the five participants by conducting individual interviews.

The aim of phenomenological research is to uncover the themes that give a phenomenon its uniqueness and thereby contribute to a greater and deeper understanding. Thematic analysis identified two themes each comprising sub-themes: Practitioners’ Journey and Essences of Potency. The practitioners’ ability to understand the phenomenon of Potency constitutes a journey comprising many influences. The practitioners appeared to be influenced by many experiences occurring before, during and after osteopathic education. The experience of understanding Potency evolved with the phenomenon having qualities that empowered the practitioners to continue on their journey. This study concludes that the practitioners’ experiences of Potency appear to depend on the context of the practitioners’ reality.

Practitioners’ perceptions of Potency start and continue to evolve in their experiences of Potency. However, these perceptions included Potency as an expression of the Breath of Life. Sometimes this is experienced visually as light and at other times experienced as energy. It appears Potency emerges from stillness, a place of harmony and returns the organism to its originality and health.

The study places the phenomenon of Potency in its professional context by discussing current beliefs and experiences of Potency in the osteopathic literature. The purpose of this study is to contribute to an emerging body of literature on osteopathic phenomena. The study provides suggestions for future research, and gives implications for osteopathic practice and education.

Cranial osteopathy is an increasingly popular treatment approach for many common disorders affecting the head and neck. This new clinical guide is the first and only in-depth resource on the subject, offering a comprehensive analysis of osteopathic dysfunctions and principles in the cranial field. It examines each cranial bone and describes its location, development, and clinical implications of dysfunction. This discussion is followed by guidance on inspection, palpation, biomechanical and biodynamical approach to the motility of each cranial bone, and explanations of appropriate intrasutural or intraosseal techniques. Excellent illustrations and step-by-step sequencing of techniques make this book an exceptionally valuable resource for clinical practice.

Treatment approaches in osteopathy for the therapy of migraine
Остеопатические подходы в лечении мигрени

Автор: Michal Ingrid (ingrid.michal@aon.at)
Тип публикации: Тезис/Диссертация
Институт: Wiener Schule f?r Osteopathie
Дата: 2009 September, 01
Язык: English


Abstract

The study at hand deals with osteopaths‘ way of proceeding when it comes to the treatment of migraine patients. It focuses on the question whether the treatment of migraine patients differs from the treatment of other patients, how the treatment approaches precisely look like, whether there are any special techniques for the treatment of migraine patients, which successes can be achieved and what determines the interaction between therapist and patient.

These questions shall be answered by means of a qualitative study which resorts to guideline-oriented interviews as research tool. Therefore seven experienced osteopaths with many years of practice are interviewed. An analysis of the interviews shows that migraine patients usually consult osteopaths only after having been examined by conventional medical practitioners and thus after having been diagnosed with the disease already. Furthermore it revealed that in anamnesis and during the clinical examinations of migraine patients the osteopaths proceed in no differently than when examining any other patients. Due to the holistic approach of the osteopaths, impacts on all systems (vascular, hormonal, neurochemic, myofascial, mental, structural etc.) can be found. According to the interviewees, during the treatments mainly the craniosacral model complemented by the biodynamic model is applied. Thereby the osteopaths hardly use any specific techniques, but rather a holistic approach, as it generally fits the nature of osteopathy. In case of migraine patients it is very important to pay special attention to what the patient says, as this enables the osteopath to give more specific advice to the individual patients. Furthermore it seems to be important to be particularly cautious in dealing with migraine patients. All osteopaths agree that by means of osteopathic treatments intensity, as well as frequency of migraine attacks, can be influenced positively.

The Neutral in biodynamic cranio-sacral osteopathy –
an extraordinary state of consciousness

Нейтрал в биодинамической краниосакральной остеопатии - особое состояние сознания

Abstract

The present thesis examines the question whether the Neutral in biodynamic cranio-sacral osteopathy represents an extraordinary state of consciousness. For this purpose a total of 49 test persons (n=49) were examined. To evaluate the state of consciousness the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI) was used. In addition, the paper looks at whether certain traits of personality have an influence on the changes of consciousness during a biodynamic treatment. The necessary data for the analysis was collected by means of two questionnaires, on the one hand, the Freiburger Pers?nlichkeitsinventar (Freiburg Personality Questionnaire, FPI) and, on the other hand, a questionnaire that was developed by the author for this specific purpose.

The examination was carried out on four different days. Every participant completed the PCI twice and the FPI and the author’s questionnaire once. The patients answered the questions of the PCI once with regard to a 5-minute period of sitting still (cf. Pekala, 1991) and a second time with regard to the period during which a lateral fluctuation was carried out. Both other questionnaires were completed before the biodynamic osteopathic treatment was delivered. Overall, 17 dimensions showed significant changes of the state of consciousness during the biodynamic treatment, among them 9 major dimensions and 8 minor dimensions. Further, the study was able to show that the examined personality traits had only small or no influence on the state of consciousness of the test persons during the lateral fluctuation. Rather, it is the individual degree of hypnoidal receptiveness of the participants which is an important parameter.

Legasthenia and Osteopathy
Can the performance of dyslectic children
be improved by osteopathic treatments?


Дислексия и остеопатия
Может ли остеопатия помочь в лечении детей с дислексией?



Автор: Philip van Haentjens
Тип публикации: Тезис/Диссертация
Институт: Wiener Schule f?r Osteopathie
Дата: 2007 March, 01
Язык: English


Abstract

The study examined the question of whether osteopathic treatment improves legasthenic conditions in children aged 6 to 14. The computerised tests were given by a registered legasthenia trainer, whereas I performed the osteopathic treatments myself. The result shows that they yielded changes on various levels which the parents noted, including schooling (study times, concentration), spiritual performance (improved calmness and ability to relax) and physical improvements (better posture and coordination skills), while the test and statistic results point to the conclusion that the test and treatments given had no influence on legasthenic disturbance.

Design:
In order to observe any changes in legasthenic disturbances, the participants were tested twice prior to treatment, twice after the first treatment and twice after the second treatment. Six tests and two osteopathic treatments were given (TTtTTtTT). The control group was only tested 6 times (TT TT TT ). The entire test and treatment cycle extended over eight weeks. The legasthenic trainer performing the tests did not know how the children were divided into a test group and a control group.

Method:
Randomised controlled trial with repeated measure design.

Intervention:
I administered osteopathic treatment twice to the participating children. The treatments were comprised of techniques of structural, visceral, cranio-sacral and biodynamic osteopathy. All lesions found on the levels mentioned were treated. Dysfunctions in the pelvic area (especially the os sacrum) were found with particular frequency, and at the upper ribs (especially costae 1); dysfunctions in the upper neck vertebrae were detected as well.

Measuring method:
The legasthenia trainer tested the study persons according to the random-sample principle (she did not know which children belonged to the control or the test group) using a computerised AFS (Attention/Function/Symptom) test form the Austrian Legasthenia Umbrella Organisation (ADA – Austrian Dyslexia Association). The test examined attention easy enough for the children to cope with, as well as optical, acoustical and coordinative parameters. The system operates with a random generator; thus no learning effect was anticipated. The children were tested six times in eight weeks; there were no tests in Weeks 3 and 6 (“treatment weeks”). Similarly, there were no tests in Weeks 3 and 6 for the control group (no osteopathic treatment; instead, a “waiting list” and treatment after the sixth test).

Results:
Statistical assessment revealed no proof of significant changes attributable to osteopathic treatment.

Conclusion:
Although statistical assessment showed no improvement of the dyslectic symptoms, some of the parents declared that they had the impression that there was visible improvement and/or alleviation in the schooling area. In this context, re-testing the children after six months and a year would be extremely interesting, if only to determine whether a long-term effect ensued from the treatment. Regular treatment over a long period of time would also be desirable, accompanied by tests; however, the factor of time-consumption and above all the cost (especially that of the AFS test) make it seem unlikely that that will be workable for an individual therapist.

Всем здравствуйте. У кого есть книги Чикурова в формате doc. Мне графические не подходят. Пробовал перегонять из djvu, но ошибок много. Буду благодарен за помощ.

К сожалению ссылки не работают. Можете прислать в зипе все книги которые Вы выкладывали на емейл?


Тери, которые ссылки не работают? Укажите конкретно, какой книги. Вряд ли я смогу выслать ВСЕ книги, которые я выкладывала, но отдельные могу, если размер позволяет (например, на gmail.com ограничение 25 мб, на mail.ru - 30 мб, но mail.ru часто сбрасывает, зависает).

И еще - архивы zip не пересылаются по email - zip рассматривается почтовыми серверами как вредоносный архив (так же, как и exe) и насчет архивов zip на mail.ru было даже предупреждение пару-тройку лет назад (кажется). rar проходит. Если надо переслать архив zip, надо поменять расширение на rar (появится предупреждение, что после смены расширения архив может стать недоступен - игнорировать это предупреждение и поменять) и предупредить адресата, чтобы поменял потом rar на zip обратно. Это проверено лично мной.

Насчет неработающих ссылок - если Вы подразумеваете, что кликаете ссылки и нет реакции, то (это я писала в посте по Фельденкрайзу):

Цитата:
Примечание: ссылки не кодированы, но не кликабельны, потому что использована опция
Не преобразовывать адреса URL в ссылки (для сохранности ссылок).
Поступать с ними так же, как и с кодированными - копировать и вставлять в URL строку браузера.
Или можно скопировать все ссылки в Word документ, сделать их активными, поставив курсор непосредственно в конце каждой ссылки и нажав клавишу пробела (изменится цвет и появится подчеркивание ссылки). Для открытия ссылок из Word надо нажимать Ctrl и одновременно кликать ссылку. Я пользуюсь этим способом, когда скачиваю файлы, состоящие из многих частей. Чтобы не путаться и отслеживать процесс/прогресс, сначала ставлю против всех ссылок знак вопроса (?), против скачиваемой добавляю тире перед знаком вопроса (-?), после удачного скачивания знак вопроса убираю, остается тире (-). Примерно вот так (первые 2 части скачаны, 3-я скачивается, 4-5 ожидают своей очереди):

http://www.filesonic.com/file/1289764101/Brain.as.the.Core.VOL2.DVD4.part5.rar ?


Большинству, конечно, эта информация не нужна, объясняю для тех, кто не знает, как скачивать по неактивным ссылкам, в последнее время выяснилось, что не все знают.


А если Вы подразумеваете, что вышли на сервер, и сервер показывает, что File not Found (файл удален) - то это совсем другое дело. Тогда ссылка действительно битая и не работает. Но в этом случае можно поискать новую или перезалить.

Остеопатическое лечение внутрикостных дисфункций скачал, большое спасибо! Заказывал эту книгу на озоне, через неделю озон отменил заказ - написал, нет у поставщика.


Пожалуйста. На самом деле тираж был очень маленький, кажется 1000 экземпляров, если не меньше.
