Abstract:

In the present study the changes in mobility and other parameters of the musculoskeletal system were investigated after isolated osteopathic treatment of the eyes in patients with hyperopia, myopia and/or astigmatism. The procedure was based on the following hypothesis: If, owing to the interrelationships within the organism, strains in the eye region as they occur with chronic diseases such as myopia, hyperopia and/or astigmatism adversely influence the function of the musculoskeletal system, the functional status of the musculoskeletals system compared to baseline must improve after osteopathic treatment of the blocked eye region. The 10 probands of the study group were osteopathically treated once, only in the eye region. The 10 test persons oft the control group merely lay in supine position on the examination couch for 15 minutes. Only persons feeling no or little impairment of the musculoskeletal system who were either short-sighted or far-sighted and/or astigmatic were included in this study. A summary of the outcome analysis shows the following: Mobility could partly be improved significantly in the study group whereas rather stagnating developments could be oberserved in the control group. As for trigger points, more than twice as many positive changes could be registered in the study group compared to the control group.
