The Ability of Osteopathic Structural Evaluation to Assess Gait

The osteopathic manipulations focused on treating the asymmetric postural dysfunction that was identified by the initial functional structural evaluation. The manipulation consisted of typical time-honored osteopathic treatments directed at the identified somatic dysfunction(s). These techniques were clinically directed and include: soft tissue, muscle energy, high velocity low amplitude, low velocity high amplitude as well as facilitated positional release as indicated.
