Abstract
Physical examination in Thai therapeutic massage (TTM) indicated that the examination by the cervical extension in the patients with back signaling point number 4 Loom phai phat tha khat Disease (BSP4LDi) by observing the different level of the cheekbones between the BSP4LDi side versus the normal side. If the BSP4LDi cheekbone side was found higher than normal side, it was assumed that the spur adhering to the cervical spine. While the BSP4LDi cheekbone side was found lower than normal side, it was assumed that the cervical spine collapsed. This study was a diagnostic test. This study aimed to examine the relation between TTM prognostic theory and diagnostic radiology. One hundred and eighty three BSP4LDi volunteers were diagnosis by Applied Thai traditional medicine and evaluated the BSP4LDi cheekbone were higher or lower than normal side with cervical extension (look up at the ceiling in TTM) by the goniometer and compared with the results of diagnostic radiology. The results as are follows: the BSP4LDi cheekbone side was higher than normal side were 86 volunteers (47%), while 97 volunteers (53%) were assessed with the BSP4LDi cheekbone was lower than normal side. The results of diagnostic radiological examination showed that cervical spondylosis was seen in 91.25% (n = 167), while the diagnostic test showed the sensitivity and accuracy were seen in 91.25% as well. In the diagnostic radiology, the spur and the cervical spine collapsed were not detected in the volunteers whose BSP4LDi cheekbone was higher or lower than normal side, respectively. And 100% (n=183) of normal vertebral height (symmetry Rt.=Lt) was found, although TTM examination was found the difference from lower and higher of the cheekbone between the BSP4LDi and normal side. This could be concluded that the difference from lower and higher of the cheekbone between BSP4LDi and normal side when examination with cervical extension were not related to the vertebral height with diagnostic radiology.
