Estimating the accuracy of muscle response testing: two randomised-order blinded studies

Abstract: BackgroundManual muscle testing (MMT) is a non-invasive assessment tool used by a variety of health care providers to evaluate neuromusculoskeletal integrity, and muscular strength in particular. In one form of MMT called muscle response testing (MRT), muscles are said to be tested, not to evaluate muscular strength, but neural control. One established, but insufficiently validated, application of MRT is to assess a patient’s response to semantic stimuli (e.g. spoken lies) during a therapy session. Our primary… Show more

“…ART represents an evolution and an expansion of the technique that was originally proposed by Omura (1981) and subsequently validated in a number of studies including two randomized-order blinded studies registered as a clinical trial (Jacobs et al, 1984;Jensen et al, 2016). In a paper published in 2016, ART developed at the Sophia Health Institute was utilized by independent researchers in the diagnosis and treatment of painful scars.…”

“…Previous studies in this series demonstrated that MRT could be used to distinguish lies from truths [1,2]. As a comparator, in this study the practitioner-applied testing of MRT was replaced with an objective instrument, a handheld or grip-strength dynamometer (HHD; see Figure 1), in order to assess its usefulness in the same application: to distinguish lies from truths.…”

“…One type of MMT, MRT, arose from Goodheart's Applied Kinesiology and other techniques in the 1980's [3,4], and is estimated to be used by over 1 million people worldwide [5]. MRT is distinct from other types of MMT in that typically only one muscle (usually the deltoid) is tested repeatedly, to detect the presence of potential target conditions, such as food allergies [6][7][8][9][10], phobia [11,12], and deceit [1,2].…”
