Diagnostics of Human Body Stem Motor Functions by Systematic Provocation Method
Conference paper
Abstract
Structure and function of human organ systems may be analysed by systematic provocation. In two examples (the first model based sensu strictu, the second without an explicite model as background) we demonstrate how this strategy may be applied to identify pathologies of the human body stem, especially the lumbar and the cervical spine.
