Glossary in
Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine

 

The field of Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine contains many unique terms and phrases; it also uses certain terms and phrases in distinctive ways. Furthermore, contributions to this field come from a number of different “schools” with strong influences from different specialties. In the international arena, as represented by FIMM, translation of such unique and distinct terminology is further complicated by translation into the official and/or working languages of the Federation – namely French, German, and English.

The purpose of the Glossary is to unite the many manual medicine schools and their graduates in their understanding of the scientific, educational, and clinical literature now being published. This can only foster better communication, advancement, and application of the growing evidence-base for the field.
