Medical Maneuver

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

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

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).
