Sacro-Occipital Technique: the So-called Arm Fossa Test: Interexaminer Agreement and Post-treatment Changes

Lebeouf, C, Jenkins, DJ, Smyth, RAJournal of Australian Chiropractic Association1988; 18(2): 67-8

Forty-five subjects, previously found to display a positive arm-fossa test, were re-examined by a blinded assessor after allocation into three groups: a group given supine, so-called category II blocking (considered correct treatment), a group given prone, so-called category I blocking (considered incorrect treatment) and a control group who were given no therapy. Eighty-six percent of the control group remained unchanged (good intra-examiner agreement). Seventy-three percent of the `correctly’ treated group became negative, whereas those receiving `incorrect’ blocking showed a mixed response.
