PAK_專業醫療級應用肌動學Professional Applied Kinesiology

 PAK系列，共分為8個主題，並規劃以PAK-1、PAK-2、PAK-3、PAK-4這4門課程完成。若無法一次上完，要上過PAK-1，未來才能繼續往下上PAK-2、PAK-3、PAK-4。

► Four Weekends of hands-on practical workshops and guidance

•  The science and art of Functional Manual Muscle Testing and gait (PAK-1)
•  Spinal and axial skeleton assessment and correction(PAK-1)
•   Peripheral joint correction, correcting muscular dysfunction and nerve entrapments(PAK-2)
• The primary respiratory system(PAK-2)伍. Professional Applied Kinesiology (PAK)

  The term “Kinesiology” and “Applied Kinesiology” have been used by all manner of professional and unprofessional bodies and practitioners. To protect the public and the good name of excellent AK practitioners, the term “Professional Applied Kinesiology” was coined, and the phrase and logo registered in most countries, including Australia.To be eligible to attend a PAK Certification series you need to have completed a minimum 4 year full-time recognized tertiary institution course to obtain registration in your given healthcare profession.Students wishing to attend must be in at least the Fourth Year of their chosen course.

• The TMJ, Brainstem and motor changes(PAK-3)
•  Meridian influences to the motor system(PAK-3)
• Functional health disorders, laboratory assessments and integrated practice 1(PAK-4)
• Functional health disorders, laboratory assessments and integrated practice 2(PAK-4)

►Fortnightly 1hr live online sessions covering the science and research behind AK and manual muscle testing

►Access to recordings of the sessions to view in your own time

►Lifetime access to our AK support Facebook group

► Complete manuals to use as a reference

► Hands on functional manual muscle testing training using state of the art Digital equipment

► Countless clinical examples of cases and outcomes

完成Level-4才能參加認證考試。Level-4課程結束的第二天，會安排一天(或二天，看參加考試的學生人數而定)的考試課程。術科包括：案例模擬，流程運作是否順暢、如何建立治療流程並書寫筆記。考試內容包括術科與筆試。這項考試會在這當天的課程結束前或之後進行。學生要先在Level-4課程中，研讀所提供的準備資料。一旦通過考試，將會獲得應用肌動學國際學院的認證(Certification from the International College of Applied Kinesiolgy)，並有資格成為ICAK的專業會員(professional member of the ICAK)，此外也可以註冊高階課程，開始學習以取得Diplomate Status of the Internation Board of Applied Kinesiology的資格。澳洲PAK認證課程 Professional Applied Kinesiology Certification Series 

壹、Kinesiology

Is a diagnostic tool, not a treatment modality. It does not replace other diagnoses but, correctly applied, adds a very useful one.

The essence of kinesiology is the use of the manual muscle testing to evaluate the motor response of the central nervous system to a sensory challenge. That is, it is a test of functional neurology. 

貳、Applied Kinesiology (AK)

The founder of Applied Kinesiology, the original technique from which all the other “Kinesiologies” have derived, is the late Dr. George Goodheart, a Chiropractor from USA.

Having this powerful diagnostic tool has led to the refinement and incorporation of many treatment modalities and the development of many new techniques within AK.

The AK essence: treatment is specific that the individual patient and condition.
The original AK logo encapsulates aspects the AK approach. It incorporates the Triad of Health and the Five Factors of the IVF.

參、The Triad of Health

Indicates that, although the base is structural (more than 90% of afference derives from structure), the treatment is incomplete if the biochemical and mental/emotional aspects of health are not addressed. 

►The Five Factors of the IVF (Intervertebral Foramen) are:

                   

► N (Nerve)

Subluxation, peripheral nerve entrapment, neurotransmitter disturbance, improper stimulation of receptors. Applied Kinesiology does not teach how to perform basic diagnostic procedures and adjustive procedures that have already been taught as part of basic professional training.

It does add another set of diagnostic tools to assess:

    the need for correction

    which way to apply the technique (e.g. the best vector to adjust)

    to correlate the condition with other presenting symptoms and signs

    other related conditions whose correction provides stability to the original correction

    whether the corrective treatment was successfully applied.

 ►NL (Neurolymphatic Reflexes)

These are cutaneous visceral reflexes that affect the lymphatic drainage of specific organs in the body. They relate to specific muscle/organ dysfunctions. They may be used both diagnostically and for treatment. 

►NV (Neurovascular Reflexes)

In 1966, Goodheart related the vascular points to specific organ/muscle combinations.  They may be used both diagnostically and for treatment.

►CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid)

In neurology we are taught “The more rostral, the more central, the greater the effect”. What is more rostral than cranial function?

Restoration of craniosacral function may effect:

• Muscle function throughout the body.
• Cranial nerve expression and therefore:olfaction, vision, visual tracking, audition, gustation, speech, vestibular function,postural reflexes, cardiac function, digestion, endocrine function and more.

肆、Some Basic Tools in Applied Kinesiology

Therapy Localization is stimulation of proprioceptive afference by having the patient touch a part of the body where a problem is suspected, or that may be associated with a problem.

• It tells us where a problem is but does not tell what the problem is.
• It is an invaluable screening tool that allows us to quickly determine where a problem is.
• It can be used to link two or more problems in the search for an underlying causality. 

Challenge Determines how the body reacts to a stimulus. Challenge may be: 

Physical Osseous Visceral A holding force or thrust placed into an articulation. A holding force applied to an organ or gland.
