Is there any proof that kinesiology can provide an effective treatment

leg? The answer must include specific research results, as well as the
detailed treatment plan(s).

This link is relevant, but we're specifically looking for references
to kinesiology, not motor re-education/rehabilitation in general.
Please let me know if you need further clarification. Thank you.
