Dear Alophysio:
I am finding it hard to get the raw data that backs the "stork" test. As I noted, D. Lee mentions that support is somewhat lacking.
Is there any generated data that gives the percentages of types of disorders seen.
For example:
Test type: Standing load shift or transfer test data "stork test".
Form closure:
type "a" x%
type "b" y%
type "c" z%
etc
etc
etc
Force closure:
muscle or muscle grouping "a" x%
muscle or muscle groupiong "b" y%
etc
etc
etc
Neurological
Type "a" x%
type "b" y%
type "c" z%
etc
etc
etc
Emotional:
type "a" x%
type "b" y%
etc
etc
etc
I find no hard raw data only speculation and quoting froim one or another "authority".
Is this based on solid research data or hypothetical wishes?
I have given you the average percentages with variation factors from group to group. I find nothing such in the supposed testing and form closure/force closure/neurological/emotional field. Maybe I have just missed it.
It leaves a lot to speculation on the part of each therapist. The data I have given is reliable and repeatable patient to patient, group to group and practitioner to practitioner. The test and theory which you like I find less secure in real data terms. I find that the load transfer test leaves a lot of room for error and interpretation unless you take the tunnel vision put forth. I can see the effects of hip ABD and both quantify and qualify it. So can the ordinary person that I show it to who has not been conditioned to accept a certain criteria.
Please show me the data, as I would like to see it.
Have you done a quantification and qualification process on the test???
