A multidisciplinary team of Michigan State University researchers has been awarded $4.2 million to develop accurate clinical research tools for studying osteopathic manipulative medicine, a hands-on approach to the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
Using a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health, principal investigator Jacek Cholewicki of the College of Osteopathic Medicine is leading a team to research OMM, which focuses on improving patient function and mobility. What is unique is the team's use of systems science, a branch of engineering that studies complex systems in a way that not only includes their parts but also how the parts interact to affect the entire system.
"We need to apply well-established engineering concepts to develop objective tools that will allow for the rigorous study of OMM," said Cholewicki, who serves as a co-director of MSU's Center for Orthopedic Research at Ingham Regional Orthopedic Hospital in Lansing. More »
