A Brief History of Activator Methods The ACTIVATOR METHOD of chiropractic analysis and low-force spinal adjusting technique originated in Redwood Falls, Minnesota in 1965 Warren C. Lee,D.C. (graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic, 1941) Arlan W. Fuhr, D.C. (Logan Basic college of Chiropractic, 1961). Since then, the procedure has become a major chiropractic clinical methodology, and is now used to some extent by approximately 21,000 doctors of chiropractic throughout the world 1
Terms Used in AMCT Activator Adjusting Instrument: A chiropractic adjusting instrument which provides a manually manipulatable instrument capable of providing a dynamic thrust which includes a controlled force of adjustment at a precise and specific line of drive at a high speed. 2
AAI-II( Activator Adjusting Instrument II ) 3
Terms Used in AMCT Facilitated Segment: A spinal segment which responds to various stimuli in a more intense and prolonged manner than is normal. Isolation Test: A specific active movement on the part of the patient to assist in locating and evaluating the subluxation or facilitated motion segments of the spine in small, incremental steps. 4
Terms Used in AMCT Line of Drive: The angle at which the Activator adjusting instrument contacts the vertebra to correct subluxations or misalignments. Pelvic Deficiency (P.D.) or Functional Short Leg: A leg that appears short due to a posterior inferior rotation of the ilium on the same side and observed when a patient is in a prone, non weight-bearing position. Another possible cause is a contraction of the supra pelvic muscles and should not be confused with an anatomical short leg. 5
Terms Used in AMCT Pressure Test: A light pressure applied into the direction of correction. Stress Test: A light pressure applied into the direction of the subluxation. 6
Terms Used in AMCT Subluxation: Just what a subluxation is still has not been proven, but, on the other hand, dis-qualification of the hypothesis of a subluxation has neither been proven. Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique accepts the definition of a subluxation along with its etiology and effects as reported in Basic Chiropractic Procedural Manual published by the American Chiropractic Association. 7
Terms Used in AMCT There are two major causes of subluxation: 1) inequality in muscular balance, and 2) abnormal structural support. The subluxation then causes local effects on tissue as well as mechanical and neurological effects. 8
LONG-SHORT RULE The Short-Long Rule applies when performing the various isolation tests from L5 through occiput (includes pubes) If the P.D leg LENGHENS at 90 degrees (Position No.2), this indicates subluxation or facilitation ON the P.D. SIDE. If the P.D leg SOORTENS at 90 degrees (Position No.2), this indicates subluxation or facilitation ON the SIDE OPPOSITE P.D. 9
Leg Testing 족지분석은 AMCT 기법의핵심요소이다. 정확하고세심한족지분석은치료의필요성을판정할수있도록한다. 초기단족검사는 subluxation이존재하느냐아니면다른신체부위에서의 facillitation 이냐를판정하는주된방법이다. 10
초기족지분석에서 4 가지필수과정 Patient palcement preserving postural distortions Visual observation noting leg length discrepancy Position #1 procedure identifying the PD leg Position #2 procedure specifically identifying subluxation malposition 11
Patient Placement 환자를방문시마다테이블에제대로위치시키는것이검사의정확성에결정적인역할을할수있다. 부적절한환자배치는단족차이감소, 다리의장단족의역전, 단족분석의불명확화를초래할수있다 12
