[Changes in posture induced by 2 osteopathic manipulations are coherent with the sagittal or frontal orientation they involve].

The effects of two osteopathic handlings were studied by two stabilometric criteria: the Cervical Symetry Quotient and the Spectrum of Amplitude. Out of 60 people, half were subjected to a High Velocity Technique the force of which was located in a frontal (left-right) plane of the body, the other half to a Fascial Technique the force of which was in the saggital (antero-posterior) plane of the body. The High Velocity Technique induces a significative modification of the Cervical Symetry Quotient which tends to be normal two days later; the Fascial Technique does not modify this criterium 20 min nor 7 days later. Both techniques modify significantly the Spectrum of Amplitude, High Velocity Technique in the 0.16-0.22 Hz band and in the frontal (left-right) plane, the Fascial Technique in the 0.3 Hz band and in the saggital (antero-posterior) plane of the body. These modifications last for up to 2 and 7 days respectively. So each of these two osteopathic techniques induce postural effects in the concerned plane of the body and not (or little) in the perpendicular plane.

Postoperative osteopathic manipulative management of median sternotomy patients.

More than 250,000 patients yearly undergo coronary bypass graft surgery accomplished via the median sternotomy incision, an approach that has been gaining widespread acceptance. This surgical approach has been associated with a growing number of patients with structural complaints. This article describes a postoperative treatment protocol for improving healing and reducing musculoskeletal disability associated with such cardiac procedures and presents a logical sequence of treatment graded to the patient's changing condition and stage of healing. The author challenges the osteopathic medical profession to meet the opportunity that exists to educate patients and physicians about the benefits of osteopathic healthcare.
