The Effect of High Velocity Low Amplitude Cervical Manipulations on the Musculoskeletal System: Literature Review [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 In manual therapy, high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) cervical manipulation techniques are frequently used, but often the physiological and biomechanical effects that can be obtained are not completely clear. The techniques are mostly used for the treatment of biomechanical joint dysfunction, but little is yet known about the possibility of using them ...

Template models for simulation of surface manipulation of musculoskeletal extremities
PLOS ONE, 2022 Capturing the surface mechanics of musculoskeletal extremities would enhance the realism of life-like mechanics imposed on the limbs within surgical simulations haptics. Other fields that rely on surface manipulation, such as garment or prosthetic design, would also benefit from characterization of tissue surface mechanics.
