Applied Kinesiology for Whiplash Management...A new textbook that describes the rationale and practice of manual muscle testing (MMT) for whiplash associated disorders (WAD). The text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the evidence substantiating MMT techniques for patients suffering from whiplash injuries. Many patients who have suffered from cervical trauma due to whiplash dynamics obtain a much lower plateau of return to health than is possible when AK and MMT examination and treatment are added to the usual treatment regimen, whether it has included manipulative treatment or not. This text makes clear that for full recovery, the examination of muscle dysfunction for these patients is vital. This book: ** Details the background of muscular dysfunction in WAD and explains why muscular inhibition is a primary feature of the structural, biochemical, and mental-emotional disturbances accompanying and often perpetuating the symptoms following whiplash injuries ** Provides precise assessment and diagnostic guidelines ** Demonstrates the clinical relevance of the research to the student and busy practitioner to help identify the features involved in persisting neck pain from whiplash injuries ** Explains the use of AK for individual muscle problems, muscle chain reactions, local and remote myofascial dysfunction and joint subluxations ** Provides the most current compilation of the MMT evidence-base and literature reviews relating to WAD MMT evaluation shows that even if the cervical spine is properly treated, there will be limited return to optimal function because the spine is only one portion of the total stomatognathic and cranio-sacral system that works as an integrated whole. The doctor using MMT has a unique opportunity to properly evaluate and correct this integration ** A new chapter on the assessment and management of Vertebral Artery Syndrome ** Extensively illustrated with line and color drawings and photographs
