On: Hall S, Lewith G, Brien S, Little P: A review of the literature in applied and specialised kinesiology. Forsch Komplementmed 2008;15:40-46.
We commend the authors for attempting an in-depth literature review of such a diverse field as Specialised Kinesiology. Their recommendations for the tools that can be used in methods of analysis in future studies are well advised. The title of their paper, however, suffers from design flaws and is deceptive. This paper is primarily a review of Touch for Health Kinesiology and its family of techniques, which should be distinctly differentiated from Applied Kinesiology as defined by the International College of Applied Kinesiology.
