The Scientific Foundations of DocuHandsOn
These two educational documents describe the conceptual foundations of a standardized vocabulary for hands-on treatment and the use of technical charts to record clinical techniques. They are presented as the author's framework, not as independent clinical validation of the software.
Why a technical chart matters
A technical chart organizes hands-on treatment techniques into a consistent reference. Each technique describes patient and practitioner positions, anatomical contact points, and movements; illustrations can help qualified colleagues understand the setup.
Clinical documentation: A numbered technique can be referenced in daily SOAP notes and matched to its full description.
Continuity of care: The chart can help communicate the treatment approach when a patient travels, changes practitioners, or sees a covering doctor.
Professional communication: Standardized terminology makes it easier to understand and discuss techniques across training backgrounds.
Record review: Clear descriptions support traceability and professional accountability, but do not guarantee clinical, insurance, or legal outcomes.
Classification of Hands-on Treatment
Learn how manual treatment can be organized by movement velocity, amplitude, and whether the patient participates actively or passively. The document discusses HVLA manipulation, low-velocity mobilization, and low-amplitude manual procedures, with illustrated examples.
