Gemmell HA ; Jacobson BH This paper presents the replicated AB time-series design as the most appropriate for the chiropractic field-doctor interested in conducting research. The design is described, threats to internal validity are discussed, and a method for analysing the data is recommended and described. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):42-6 rchitecture of the cervical spine: measurement of certain characteristics. AHinwood JA ; Richardson P The development of the lordotic cervical curve has long been recognised as an adaptation necessary for the maintenance of the human bipedal posture. This radiographic investigation was carried out on 1000 subjects in an attempt to determine a 'normal' range for zygapophyseal joint facet angles, vertical articlar pillar height to body ratio, pedicle length, atlas and axis angles to the horizontal and cervical curve. An intra-examiner reliability study of sixty cases was performed eighteen months after the original analysis. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):47-52 Chiropractic in the Australian health care system: the chiropractors' comment on drug therapy. Jamison JR The Australian Medical Association regards it as unethical for its members to communicate professionally with chiropractors. Chiropractors are, however, overtly and covertly consulted by patients attending medical practitioners. The potential for contradictory clinical advice to be given to patients by non-communicating clinicians becomes a practical consideration in Australian health care. This paper investigates the attitudes of contemporary chiropractors to drug therapy and inquires how they behave in a clinical encounter when they believe that medically prescribed drug therapy is not enhancing the patient's well-being. The desirability of interprofessional dialogue is demonstrated. (Author abstract) Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):53-5 Questioning chiropractic philosophy. Albury WR A brief account is offered of the nature of philosophical questioning, followed by some suggestions concerning the application of this questioning process to the development of chiropractic philosophy. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):56-7. Charlton KH Chiropractic philosophy is presently an unexploited resource for the advancement of the chiropractic profession. Further, the discipline of philosophy itself can provide a useful matrix for the development of both chiropractic philosophy and the profession itself. I make suggestions for profiting from these opportunities. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):58-62 The Palmer philosophy of chiropractic - an historical perspective. Richards DM This paper presents the Palmer philosophy of chiropractic from an historical viewpoint. It examines how influences in the life of DD Palmer, such as spiritualism, theosophy and magnetic healing helped to shape the chiropractic philosophy expressed by him. It also oulines the philosophy of BJ Palmer, explaining how it may have been influenced by legal challenges to the early pioneers of chiropractic. Contemporary expression of the Palmer philosophy, as articulated by Strang, is also noted. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):63-68 Historical notes: an occasional series 1961 - a year of mourning. Peters RE ; Chance MA On 27 May 1961, B J Palmer, in his eightieth year, died in Sarasota, Florida. A forceful individual, President of the Palmer School of Chiropractic and of the International Chiropractors Association, he had been at the forefront of the fight for chiropractic survival and recognition for over half a century. The profession had barely recovered from the shock of his departure when it learned of the unexpected death of Dr Vinton Logan, President of the Logan College of Chiropractic, and a member of the Board of Control of the International Chiropractors Association. A brief resume of these individuals is presented based on published sources. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Jun;21(2):68-71 |
