P02.07. A study to assess the validity of applied kinesiology (AK) as a diagnostic tool and as a nonlocal proximity effect

چکیده
Purpose 1. Is there a difference in muscular strength when an individual holds a substance inimical to life processes compared to a substance essential for life? 2. Does the effect involve input from the person being measured, and the kinesiologist doing the measurement, or only the person measured? 3. Is the result the same when different kinesiologists take measurements, or when no kinesiologist is involved? 4. Does belief, expectation, gender, or time perception play a role?
