applied kinesiology
Applied kinesiology (AK) is a technique in alternative medicine claimed to be able to diagnose illness or choose treatment by testing muscles for strength and weakness. Applied kinesiologists are often chiropractors, but they may also be naturopathic physicians, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, or veterinarians. According to their guidelines on allergy diagnostic testing, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology stated there is “no evidence of diagnostic validity” of applied kinesiology, and another study has shown that as an evaluative method, AK "is no more useful than random guessing",〔 and the American Cancer Society has said that "scientific evidence does not support the claim that applied kinesiology can diagnose or treat cancer or other illness".
Applied kinesiology, as described above, should not be confused with kinesiology, which is the scientific study of human movement.
== History and current use ==
George J. Goodheart, a chiropractor, originated applied kinesiology in 1964〔()〕 and began teaching it to other chiropractors.〔(Chiropractic Techniques. ) American Chiropractic Association.〕 An organization of Goodheart Study Group Leaders began meeting in 1973, selected the name "The International College of Applied Kinesiology" (ICAK) in 1974, adopted bylaws in 1975, elected officers in 1975, and "certified" its charter members, called "diplomates" in 1976.〔(John Thie, D.C. – 1973 to 1976 )〕 ICAK now considers 1976 to be the date it was founded and 1973 to be the date that its first chairman took office.〔(What is the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK)? )〕
While this practice is primarily used by chiropractors, it is now also used by a number of other practitioners.〔(Applied Kinesiology: Phony Muscle-Testing for "Allergies" and "Nutrient Deficiencies" ), by Stephen Barrett, MD〕 In 2003 it was the 10th most frequently used chiropractic technique in the United States, with 37.6% of chiropractors employing this method and 12.9% of patients being treated with it, and has also been used by naturopaths, physicians, dentists, nutritionists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and nurse practitioners. Some basic AK based techniques have also been used/misused by nutritional supplement distributors, including multilevel distributors.〔
