Standing Postural Examination - Osteopathic Structural Exam (OSE) Screening

This particular video is intended as a demonstration of the principles of Osteopathic Structural Examination, and specifically discussion and demonstration of a Standing Postural Examination, which is used as an initial screen for asymmetry which might indicate the presence of significant somatic dysfunction.

It is not intended as a complete instructional video and should not be considered a source of complete Physical Examination and OMT instruction.

Instead, it should be treated as a supplement to independent learning using primary Osteopathic Manipulation instructional resources. Clinical skills are best learned and developed with support from faculty in the context of a complete Osteopathic Medical School Curriculum.

Osteopathic Clinical Skills is a channel dedicated to discussing and exploring Osteopathic Clinical Skills concepts for medical students, residents, and clinicians and presenting them in an easy to understand manner.
