DULHUNTY Critical evaluation of certain clinical procedures used commonly by chiropractors has been attempted. It is suggested that responsibility for establishing the reliability of certain clinical procedures associated with the sacroiliac joints, including x-rays, leg checks and palpation, has been abdicated. It is also demonstrated that the type and amount of movement in the sacroiliac joint described by those promoting these procedures cannot be substantiated scientifically. Many commonly-held concepts involving "subluxations" of the sacroiliac joints can be demonstrated to be ill-founded, unsubstantiated or over-simplified. A mechanical model is presented in an attempt to clarify and allow visualisation of the type and amount of joint mobility. INDEX TERMS: SACROILIAC JOINT; SUBLUXATION; BIOMECHANICS; CHIROPRACTIC. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1985 Sep;15(3):91-9 A Bright Light from Darkest Africa MARIO L. MILANI For almost fifteen years, development of chiropractic in South Africa has been "frozen" by restrictive legislation which allowed for no new registrations. through the united efforts of chiropractors and other health professionals, legislation has now been passed which provides for the perpetuity and self-determination of the chiropractic and homoeopathic professions, and may open the way for future establishment of a chiropractic faculty at a South African university.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1985 Sep;15(3):101-13 BRUCE VAUGHAN Chiropractic has been practised in Hong Kong for some fifty years, but it is only since 1968 that efforts to gain legal recognition have been organised. Recently strenuous medical opposition to chiropractic has erupted, focusing primarily on use of certain descriptive titles in the Chinese language.
