Altered Breathing Pattern/Hyperventilation Syndrome

[neuromuscular]

Dear Alophysio,
.


You state that the four sided assesment using the landmarks of the ASIS and the PSIS is "subjective" but do not give reasons. That is so unlike your usual responses.

You can do the assessment without landmarking and you will see that the patinet twists and distorts. The landmarks only tell you what is happening in the pelvic bone movements. However, the gross overview of say 4 m away from the patient using visual creates the distoritons to the entire body that are repeatable and show the specific problems of the patient. The landmarks give the specific muscular problems.

One person likened the asessment and therapy as giving me a "blue ocean" in therapy. This means that the therapy is so much more successful than current methods that I have little in the way of competition. The researcher at the OGI and I had an exteneded conversation and he would concurr after his inital trials of the method.

The largest problem as I see it for the research paper is that this is so new a direction that many will dismiss it without trying it. The researcher at the OGI is having difficulty finding any papers on the relevance of the pelvic angle measurements. I could find little either and none using hip abduction.

In dialogue with Diane Lee this became obvious as she would not even consider the possibility. The head of the physiotherapy dept for McGill University in Montreal had a similar closed minded view. Andry Vleeming also had difficulty with the idea. I had the impression that he felt it too simplistic and that his more "comprehensive" approach was better.

So as I have said before, try the test and see if it does not give you more new and accurate information on the patient's true condition.

Best regards,

Neuromuscular

Hi Neuro, I am not a physiotherapist but a hyperventilating guy without much luck from retraining the breathing. I am not sure how to talk to my physiotherapist (I live in Asia) regarding your findings. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry for posting so late ..
