Sentence examples for motion palpation techniques from inspiring English sources

Dysfunction of the cervical spine is commonly evaluated, at least in part, using motion palpation techniques.

The results of this study indicate that even novice clinicians demonstrated the ability to correctly identify the presence or absence of known cervical spine intersegmental fixations by using specific motion palpation techniques on real patients with congenitally fused vertebrae.

The results of this study suggest that even student examiners, with less experience than practicing clinicians, were able to detect the presence or absence of 'fixation' in the cervical spine using specific motion palpation techniques in lateral flexion and rotation.

This posed the problem of subject comfort, since even the most gentle application of motion palpation technique repeated over 20 times is likely to cause the subject discomfort.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of positive motion-palpation findings (so-called fixations and spontaneous pain response) in relation to self-reported low back pain status and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the motion-palpation technique carried out on the sacroiliac and lumbar joints.

The use of examiners with the same training and experience, as well as specific instruction as to the techniques to be used, served to standardize the motion palpation procedures performed, and may be one factor which contributed to the relatively high specificity and sensitivity scores.

Previous work to ensure methodological precision with the use of specific palpation techniques with the skin fixation pads using the modified CA 6000 spinal motion analysis system is expected to facilitate future multi-center research.

Intervention: Three types of palpation were performed: Sitting motion palpation and prone motion palpation for biomechanic dysfunction and paraspinal palpation for tenderness.

Several types of motion palpation and pain provocation tests are used to evaluate SIJ dysfunction.

Examiners consisted of 7 biomechanics (chiropractic) students from the University of Southern Denmark who were proficient in motion palpation.
