The cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI) is an important osteopathic medicine concept that refers to the health of the individual. The technique of the eddy current (EC) sensors has the advantage to be directly sensitive to the CRI. In this paper, we present an EC system dedicated to the measurement of the CRI. To detect the CRI, a flexible aluminum foil...
The aim of this study is to approach the possibilities of stimulated infrared thermography to the carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis. Eleven patients were studied. Six of them were affected by the carpal tunnel syndrome. The five others were healthy. The study consists in exciting the patients’ hands and in analyzing their thermal response. The infra...
Résumé
Objectif : réaliser un matériel pour analyser la cinétique du rachis cervical et des dorsales hautes lors des Mouvements Angulaires de la Tête dans un plan Horizontal.
Méthodes : Conception et réalisation d’un prototype composé d’une chaise et d’une potence. Un appareil photographique filmait en vidéo les mouvements de rotation. Trois expé...
Background. A major goal for a significant portion of the osteopathic community is to update osteopathic principles, satisfying three needs: sourcing from the origin, proposing original and unique practical approaches, and describing the entire process in a scientifically updated way. On this line, several interprofessional proposals for healthcare...
Introduction
Standard osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) is used as a supportive care for pain management in cancer patients.
Objectives
The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of OMT with that of a sham treatment to attenuate pain in cancer patients in a palliative care unit.
Methods
This randomized clinical trial was a simple blind,...
Background: Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI) or Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM), movement felt on the scalp or the rest of the body, respectively, is a fundamental concept used by osteopaths in their practice for their diagnosis and treatment. However, the physiological basis of this phenomenon remains unclear. Sutherland, the founder of cranial...
Measuring breathing rates without a mouthpiece is of interest in clinical settings. Electrocardiogram devices and, more recently, optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) methods can estimate breathing rates with only a few electrodes or motion-capture markers placed on the patient. This study estimated and compared the accuracy and reliability of thre...

La mesure des variations de la conformation du crâne revêt un intérêt dans différents domaines cliniques. L’objectif de la thèse est d’évaluer les micromouvements du crâne à l’aide d’un outil non invasif.La mesure de la fréquence respiratoire issue des variations du volume thoracique à l’aide du système Vicon est comparée aux mesures de spiromètre...
Although the COVID-19 pandemic affects predominantly the respiratory function, epidemiological studies show that multiple systems can be affected. The severe complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection seem to be induced by an inflammatory dysregulation (“cytokine storm”), which can also induce an immunodepression. Several studies highlight beneficial ef...
The goal of research. The purpose of this work was to assess the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment aimed to improve the quality of life of patients receiving chemotherapy.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted by four osteopaths at the oncology departments of four hospitals in Paris region. Patients were randomly divided into two grou...
Objective
Aquatic osteopathy (AO) is a recent discipline that has not yet demonstrated its value compared with existing therapies. This study compared AO with aquatic therapy (AT)—that is, thermoneutral water immersion—using infrared thermography on healthy individuals to assess differences in cutaneous body temperature.
Methods
Fifty-five healthy...
Introduction. The effect of the osteopathic treatment in the postpartum period has not been adequately studied in Western countries. The most part of the studies are focused on postpartum pain, whereas there is not enough information on the effect of osteopathic treatment on the recovery of perineal muscles.Goal of research - to study the effect of...
