Interexaminer reliability and concurrent validity of two instruments for the measurement of cervical ranges of motion.

The reliability of measurement of cervical ranges of motion (ROM) has rarely been studied. The current study evaluated the interexaminer reliability and concurrent validity of two instruments (rangiometer and goniometer) for measuring cervical ranges of motion. Twenty-four consenting subjects were assigned to random orders of examiners, instruments and planes of motion. Thirteen measurements of cervical motion and neutral positions were evaluated by two examiners using each instrument. Interexaminer reliability coefficients were generally greater than interinstrument coefficients, and both were higher than a combination of interexaminer/interinstrument predictions. The r values for rangiometric objectivity were higher than those of the goniometer in 9 of 10 cervical ranges of motion. The rangiometer is a moderately reliable instrument for measuring cervical ranges of motion.

Conservative care of urinary incontinence in the elderly.

Urinary incontinence is a common, costly and demoralizing problem among the elderly. Remedial efforts are often not attempted owing to the misconception that incontinence is an inevitable and irreversible characteristic of aging. In fact, a variety of relatively conservative methods of reducing geriatric incontinence are available. This paper reviews the categories of incontinence, outlines assessment strategies and critiques the literature on biofeedback, exercise, behavior therapy and electrical stimulation as treatments for geriatric incontinence, and briefly considers a role for the chiropractic physician.

Urodynamic feedback therapies for retentive dysfunctions.

In the past decade a growing integration of behavioral and urological methods has produced a small quantitative literature of urodynamic biofeedback. This paper reviews reports of urodynamic retraining for retentive dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract. Cases are grouped according to types of feedback. The relative invasiveness of the various techniques are considered, and implications for conservative practitioners are suggested. The limitations of available data are detailed, and suggestions for future research are offered.
