Despite osteopathy’s ambivalence, a variety of manual practitioners have been References 90 attracted to and have developed aspects of cranial manipulation.

The role of the pediatrician in prevention of disease and injury and the importance of collaboration between the pediatrician and other health professionals is stressed. Pediatrics involves recognition of normal and abnormal mental and physical development as well as the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic problems. As one of the core clerkships during the third year of medical school, pediatrics shares with family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery the common responsibility to teach the knowledge, skills and attitudes basic to the development of a competent general physician. Most students will spend most of their time in the outpatient setting while others might take care of patients on the inpatient setting as well.

Box 8000, Old Westbury, NY 11568, USA Abstract Parkinson’s disease and focal limb dystonia are neurological movement disorders that may occur co-morbidly, often leading to more severe gait impairment and pain. Treatment options for foot dystonia in Parkinson’s disease are limited and have variable outcomes. Osteopathic manual treatment techniques were previously found to improve gait in Parkinson’s disease. Here, we present three cases in which osteopathic manual treatment was used to treat foot dystonia in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The most prominent features of the foot dystonia were cramping and pain in the foot and ankle radiating up to the ipsilateral torso and involuntary foot inversion. The common musculoskeletal dysfunctions found were spasm of ipsilateral hip adductor muscles, psoas, gastrocnemius, and one or more intrinsic ankle and foot muscles as well as calcaneal inversion and restrictions to motion of the tarsal bones. All patients reported improvement in pain and mobility following treatment that lasted five to seven days.
