Maneuver is a planned and regulated movement or evolution of troops, warships, or aircraft. The term is commonly used in both an military and medical context. In a medical context, a maneuver is a deliberate, controlled movement or procedure intended to achieve a specific response or outcome.
Military Maneuver[edit]
In a military context, a maneuver is a movement or series of moves requiring skill and care. Military maneuvers are a common part of military strategy and can involve a wide range of activities, from simple changes in position to complex operational movements.
Medical Maneuver[edit]
In a medical context, a maneuver is a deliberate, controlled movement or procedure intended to achieve a specific response or outcome. Medical maneuvers can be used in a variety of medical fields, including cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics.
Cardiology[edit]
In cardiology, maneuvers can be used to diagnose or treat certain heart conditions. For example, the Valsalva maneuver is a breathing technique that can be used to diagnose heart problems.
Neurology[edit]
In neurology, maneuvers can be used to diagnose or treat certain neurological conditions. For example, the Dix-Hallpike maneuver is a diagnostic procedure used to identify benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Orthopedics[edit]
In orthopedics, maneuvers can be used to diagnose or treat certain musculoskeletal conditions. For example, the McMurray test is a maneuver used to evaluate the knee for damage to the meniscus.
