However, there has been no evidence that mechanical diagnosis and therapy actually enhances patient’s self-management skills. This study aimed to preliminarily investigate whether self-reported skills of self-management for musculoskeletal problems are enhanced through the course of mechanical diagnosis and therapy.Method:Outpatients with musculoskeletal disorders in a local orthopedic clinic were included. The primary outcome measures were the “Self-monitoring and Insight” and “Skill and Technique Acquisition” scores of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire, where higher scores indicate greater self-management skills. Mechanical diagnosis and therapy was undertaken up to a maximum of twice per week for 1 month. The Self-monitoring and Insight a...
