Besides the scientific- rational medicine alternative medicine keeps spreading in our days. The authors give a review of the possibilities of the alternative therapy of locomotor diseases. Patients suffering from locomotor diseases ask increasingly often for these therapeutical procedures. Literary review is given on acupuncture, manual therapy, homeopathy and certain physiotherapeutical techniques as well as on other less often applied alternative therapeutical procedures. It is stressed that alternative treatment may also involve potential danger. It is stated finally that as shown by the review of the literature well controllable clinical examinations required indispensably for the estimation of the efficacy of a therapeutical procedure are only in limited number at disposal.
除了科学合理的医学之外，替代医学在当今仍在不断传播。作者对运动系统疾病的替代疗法的可能性进行了综述。患有运动系统疾病的患者越来越频繁地寻求这些治疗方法。本文对针灸、手法治疗、顺势疗法和某些物理治疗技术以及其他较少应用的替代治疗方法进行了文献综述。文中强调替代治疗也可能存在潜在风险。最后指出，正如文献综述所示，用于评估治疗方法疗效所必需的、可良好控制的临床检查数量有限。
