“… 6 – 15 It has also been associated with decreased length of stay for hospitalized patients in various studies. 7 , 16 However, OMT research has inherent difficulties. Efficacy studies do not easily fit the scientific model because it is difficult to have a blinded protocol or to perform a sham manipulation.…”

The frequency with which patients utilize treatments encompassed by the term complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) is well documented. A number of these therapies are beginning to be integrated into contemporary medical practice. This article examines three of them: osteopathic manipulation, yoga, and acupuncture, with a focus on their physiological effects, efficacy in treating medical conditions commonly encountered by practitioners, precautions or contraindications, and ways in which they can be incorporated into clinical practice. Physicians should routinely obtain information about use of CAM as part of their patient history and should consider their role based on physiological effects and clinical research results.

“…5,6 In a recent retrospective analysis of the use of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) in the hospital setting, OMM was involved in just 11% of all in-patient consultations. 7 The GVP cites a retrospective study undertaken by Liccardone and colleagues in which the authors claim a considerably higher manipulative intervention rate of 25% by osteopathic physicians in a family practice clinic setting. 8 Based on data retrieved from three institutional University based osteopathic family practice clinics, such institutional findings should be treated with caution as they may neither be representative of, or generalisable to, wider community-based osteopathic family practice.…”

“…More extensive trials are needed to confirm the absolute safety of the inspiratory rehabilitation in this type of patients and to determine the best physiotherapic strategy to be employed [36,37]. muscle energy, soft tissue, and inhibition) [38]. We do not have statistical data regarding hospitalization time and diaphragmatic performance with OMT, thus it is not possible to draw conclusions on whether or not to recommend this approach.…”

The main functions of the diaphragm are altered in the presence of respiratory diseases, due to a reduction in muscle mass and electrical coordination, and a nonphysiological adaptation of the intrinsic protein structure. Patients with COPD or OSAS, and people weaned from ventilation machines follow a rehabilitation path and physiotherapy to recover the diaphragm strength, combining manual and osteopathic therapy with specificic techniques which can be directly used on the rib muscle. The operator manually evaluates the mobility of the diaphragm before and after physiotherapy; the initial evaluation is useful to address the training, and the final one to evaluate the outcome.In literature a manual assessment of the less mobile areas of the diaphragm is currently missing, these information would be vital for the operators, in order to decide which muscle areas need to be treated. The scale proposed in the present article can be useful to address the treatment on specific affected areas and can improve informational exchange on the patient's specific needs between different professional persons. The article is the first step to present the scale as a hypothesis. Subsequently, we will make a second article to validate the scale with objective clinical tools.
