Abstract/Notes

Objective: This study describes a model for statistically analyzing follow-up numeric-based chiropractic spinal assessments for an individual patient based on his or her own baseline.

Methods: Ten mastoid fossa temperature differential readings (MFTD) obtained from a chiropractic patient were used in the study. The first eight readings served as baseline and were compared to post-adjustment readings.

Results: One of the two post-adjustment MFTD readings fell outside two standard deviations of the baseline mean and therefore theoretically represents improvement according to pattern analysis theory.

Conclusion: This study showed how standard deviation analysis may be used to identify future outliers for an individual patient based on his or her own baseline data.
