How to Determine Whats Going On? Use DeJarnette SOT blocks and Dr. Boros Super Duper Arch and Gait Analysis to help you differentiate what the problem is With muscle testing and the Glabellar Tap, developed by Solohin Thom, D.O, its easy peasy to identify and fix patient gait problems Lets see how 14. Gait Dynamic Combination contact and propulsion phase. 15. Pronation & Supination 16. Mixed Pronation/Supination (Skiing/Skating) 17. Rearfoot Torque 18. Uneven Surfaces 19. Transverse Arch Torque 20. Manual Muscle Testing Patient stands with one or both feet on blocks. If strong indicator muscle tests weak, then there is a problem. 21. Thoms Glabellar Tap While patient continues to stand on blocks, tap the glabella three times at one second intervals to temporarily lock in subluxation pattern. 22. Lumbar Challenge & Adjustment Using MMT and finger challenges, identify subluxations and correct with Activator. 23. Sphenoid Contact & Adjustment Or, you can use manual thumb thrust adjusting as in this cranial example. 24. Future Research Tekscan Pressure Measurement & Scans 25.
