"半脱位"是脊柱推拿治疗脊柱伤病的核心病理概念,"半脱位"概念既应该包含关节解剖位置的变化,同时更应该强调在解剖位置变化基础上造成的关节功能活动障碍;当前手法医学"半脱位"与现代医学"半脱位"名称虽然一致,但是二者的内涵存在明显差异,容易造成混淆,也不能很好体现手法医学的特点,可以考虑将当前手法医学"半脱位"的名称改为"亚脱位"。
"Subluxation" is the core of pathological conception of spinal injuries treated by spinal manipulation.The conception of "Subluxation" not only includes changes of joint anatomy,but also emphasizes on joint dysfunction which is caused by changes of the anatomical position.The name of "Subluxation" in manual medicine is the same as modern medicine,but the content is obviously different.Nonetheless,it would be confused and not reflect the characteristics of manual practices.So we can consider changing the name of "Subluxation" in manual medicine into "Yatuowei".
