Osteopathy relies on a touch-based approach to promote health. This narrative review aims to analyze the role of touch in clinical osteopathic practice.
A database search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro and Google Scholar. Peer-reviewed papers without specifying limits on dates and design were included.
47 articles met the inclusion criteria and were used to elucidate two main themes: Biological and psychological effects of touch; Touch in the context of osteopathic clinical reasoning.
Touch is one of the tools to achieve a collaborative interaction with the patient, to substantiate clinical information, and to detect somatic dysfunctions: neuro-myofascial active areas that might act as an osteopath-patient interface to transmit the biological and physiological effects of touch.
The findings of the review support a shared decision-making process, in which touch is one of the osteopath-patient dyad 's leading communication tools to develop a tailor-made osteopathic approach.
整骨疗法依赖于基于触摸的方法来促进健康。本叙述性综述旨在分析触摸在临床整骨实践中的作用。
使用 MEDLINE、EMBASE、PEDro 和 Google Scholar 进行数据库搜索。纳入了未指定日期和设计限制的同行评审论文。
47 篇文章符合纳入标准，并用于阐明两个主要主题：触摸的生物学和心理影响；整骨临床推理背景下的触摸。
触摸是与患者进行协作互动、充实临床信息和检测躯体功能障碍的工具之一：神经肌筋膜活跃区域可能充当整骨医师-患者接口，以传递触摸的生物学和生理学影响。
综述结果支持共同决策过程，其中触摸是整骨医师-患者对的主要沟通工具之一，用于制定个性化的整骨方法。
