Interexaminer Reliability for the Craniosacral Mechanism

[AviatorDoc]

This thread isn't meant to open a can of worms, although I imagine it will.

Does anyone know of studies that have compared interexaminer reliability in diagnosing the craniosacral rhythm?

My search of PubMed has turned up several studies that show no statistical significance. I'd like to know if any studies have been done that demonstrate it to be true.

My concern is that people who attempt to research these things are either set on proving or disproving its existence, and therefore have an ingrained bias.

Thanks for your help.

That is the website for OSTEOMED the new osteopathic data base containing articles, publications, etc pertaining to DO research and so on. I did a search for Crainosacral and a meta-analysis showed NO interexaminer reliability. Good luck
