Can someone explain Kinesiopathology and pathokinesiologic to me in terms I can understand? It just sounds like double speak?

To me it appears to be a flawed model from the start and suffers from many reasoning errors.

“I have pain”, “well look how you are moving.”

Pathokinesiologic= dysfunctional movement resulting from pathology in physiologic systems

Kinesiopathology+ pathology induced by movement that is provocative

Sorry what the heck does this mean

It basically says pathological movement & movement pathology. It implies causation?

So you can move funny because you have an underlying pathology, or your funny movement creates an pathology.

This is utter BS.

Where is the delineation between the two.

Why would my body not just adapt, under Wolff’s law (Davis Law) to my funny movement pattern?

Of course people in pain often move differently, a limp is not a pathologic movement it is normal.

This whole idea has no evidential foundation.

Many examples of altered movement that have been demonized as “pathologic” scapular dyskinesia, scoliosis, leg length, valgus knee.

Humans are not machines that break down and need fixing. They are re beautiful complex adaptive and self regulating.

High ;even function can be achieved, despite so called Pathology of position or movement.

Variety of human movement is the norm.

It’s time for clinicians to stop patholoagising normal variations that on the bell curve of movement

A closing thought for all clinicians that try to alter “faulty” movement patterns.

A colleague of mine had Guillain-Barré syndrome, he tells the story of being completely paralyzed and on a ventilator, he survived and had to go through months of rehab.

After doing countless hours of drills, gait training, strength programs, postural control, he recovered with no real deficits.

He walks, stands, plays guitar exactly as he did pre paralysis, looks the same on photos and feels the same.

Our brain knows. We don’t, it is patterned
