  • 소개/요약Background Osteopathic therapists and physicians preferably work with their hands for diagnostics and therapy by means of palpation and perception. The influence of meditation and attentiveness training on alterations in haptic perception and the haptic threshold are presently unknown. Subjects and methods Within the framework of this pilot project the haptic threshold of ten persons was tested before and after 1 week of meditation and attentiveness training, consisting of yoga, gait meditation and silent meditation. Results A significant improvement (p = 0.028) of the haptic threshold could be demonstrated between the first and second measurements. No significant age-related correlation according to Pearson could be found. Conclusion Positive alterations in the haptic threshold could be demonstrated after intensive training of meditation and attentiveness. This shows interdependence between the influence on the consciousness and the attentive perception of active tactile sense which plays a decisive role in manual osteopathic medicine. Further studies are necessary in order to confirm the results of the pilot study.
