“…This tool impacts far beyond research. Because it is based on current evidence and input from the MT community, this glossary is a foundation for education in MT [ 46 ] and can minimize communication errors among healthcare providers [ 47 ], in medical records, and across MT professions [ 48 , 49 ]. However, individual professions need to continue addressing internal nomenclature inconsistencies and disagreements as they participate in the collaborative refinement of glossary content.…”

Objective The International Consortium on Manual Therapies (ICMT) is a grassroots interprofessional association open to any formally trained practitioner of manual therapy (MT) and basic scientists promoting research related to the practice of MT. Currently, MT research is impeded by professions’ lack of communication with other MT professions, biases, and vernacular. Current ICMT goals are to minimize these barriers, compare MT techniques, and establish an interprofessional MT glossary. Methods Practitioners from all professions with training in manual therapies were encouraged by e-mail and website to participate ( www.ICMTConferene.org ). Video conferences were conducted at least bimonthly for 2.5 years by profession-specific and interprofessional focus groups (FGs). Members summarized scopes of practice, technique descriptions, associated mechanisms of action (MOA), and glossary terms. Each profession presented their work to the interprofessional FG to promote dialogue, understanding and consensus. Outcomes were reported and refined at numerous public events. Results Focus groups with representatives from 5 MT professions, chiropractic, massage therapy, osteopathic, physical therapy and structural integration identified 17 targeting osseous structures and 49 targeting nonosseous structures. Thirty-two techniques appeared distinct to a specific profession, and 13 were used by more than 1. Comparing descriptions identified additional commonalities. All professions agreed on 4 MOA categories for MT. A glossary of 280 terms and definitions was consolidated, representing key concepts in MT. Twenty-one terms were used by all MT professions and basic scientists. Five terms were used by MT professions exclusive of basic scientists. Conclusion Outcomes suggested a third to a half of techniques used in MT are similar across professions. Additional research is needed to better define the extent of similarity and how to consistently identify those approaches. Ongoing expansion and refinement of the glossary is necessary to promote descriptive clarity and facilitate communication between practitioners and basic scientists.

“…Diese fragt sich zu Recht, was genau mit "OMT" gemeint ist, und weist auf die großen Identitätsprobleme unseres Berufs hin. Mit besorgter Neugierde stellen sie die Verbindung zur wissenschaftlichen Forschung, zur Ausbildung des Osteopathen und einer möglichen Registrierung und Regulierung des Berufs her und plädieren für ein gemeinsames Vokabular [16]. Auch die Durchführung osteopathischer wissenschaftlicher Forschung wird im Zuge dieser verschiedenen Arten der Osteopathie beeinflusst.…”

Background: Osteochondrosis of spine is the one of the most prevalent diseases among the all musculoskeletal conditions. Osteochondrosis is not a curable condition and its treatment/rehabilitation is a long-term process. The present work aims to assess clinical effectiveness and duration of outcomes of rehabilitation that includes complex and consequent methods (algorithm) of treatment. The pilot study has been continuing several years and now is going on. Methods: The subject were 220 patients, 122 females and 98 males, aged 50-65 (adherence to treatment 100%) with as reflex as well radicular syndromes in subacute phase. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Rehabilitation process continued 2.5-3 months and its management included the following consequent methods: waist fixation, pain control with medication (NSAIDs and in some cases steroidal drugs), iontophoresis with karipazim-20-25 sessions, after 8-10 sessions of the latter manual therapy was added-10-12 sessions, and kinesiotherapy (3 times per week) after 5 procedures. After pain management recommendation of daily life activity was given. Oral chondroprotectors after completion of a treatment were administered. Dynamic evaluation of subjective and objective symptoms, mobility and functional state of spine were done. Parameters were assessed before treatment, after 3 month and 1-3 years upon its completion. Results: Data were analyzed using SPSS program. Obtained results showed that after the first course of treatment (3 months) positive outcomes were observed in 198 patients (90%), 22 (10%) of patients required the second course of rehabilitation. Stable outcome of treatment was maintained after 1 year in 204 patients (92.7%) and after 3 years in 196 patients (89%). Conclusion: Approbated complex of treatment is established to be effective in rehabilitation of patients with lumbar osteochondrosis.
