Dr Stoxen put his diagnostic approach "Stoxen Approach" to treating chronic arthritis and theories on the line
Dr Stoxen opened the program with some basic background on how simple changes in biomechanics can cause distructive arthritic forces in the kinematic chain. At one point he asked for a volunteer from the audience who had non traumatic unilateral knee pain. He stated that without the patient telling him what side the knee pain was on, he would know definatively after performing some simple biomechanical tests.

Trendellenburg Test
The first test was a modified trendelenburgs test which showed that the patient had unilateral weakness in the kinematic chain which is usually more prominant on the side of the knee chondromalacia. In this photo you see the patient (a doctor who was in the audience) has his right foot externally rotated to compensate for the weakness on the opposite side causing balance to be compromised.

Kinematic Chain Evaluation
In this examination Dr Stoxen is evaluating the regions of the kinematic chain of the patient to determine if and where the patterns of spasticity, subluxation and weakness were. In this case Dr Stoxen is palpating the tensor fascia latae for spasticity. He did Clarks Test and other tests which determine what the state of the knee joint is.

In this photo he is indicating to the delegates of the conference that he has determined the side of the body where the knee pain was located was on the right. The patient confirmed that this was correct. When you do a careful analysis of the biomechanics you can tell what areas of the body will age faster based on abnormal mechanical movement, spastic patterns and patterns of subluxation.

Dr James Stoxen's Conclusion
"You can determine where the patient will have pain before the patient has the pain. Early detection and prevention is the essence of what antiaging medicine is all about. That is what is called the paradigm shift from disease based medicine which is treating a patients arthritis or medical problem when the patient presents with symptoms or with antiaging medicine we detect risk factors and areas which are more at risk for disease and intervene before symptoms or the disease state has a chance to manifest itself."

Dr. Sinn Anuras, Chairman, Organizing Committee and Dr. Chamaree Chuapetcharasopon Chairman, Speakers Committee invited Dr James Stoxen DC to give the presentation, Simple Pronation - How a Simple Biomechanical Dysfunction Accelorates the Aging Process: The Most Effective Diagnosis Treatment and Prevention at the “Bangkok 2005 Conference on Anti-Aging” held in Bangkok, Thailand from February 24 - 25, 2005. Dr Stoxen is presented with a gift to show appreciation for being an honored presentor at the conference.
