Spinal manipulation in acute low back pain patients is associated with reduced motor-unit firing variability without altering bilateral coordination: a single-motor-unit EMG study of the lumbar multifidus [PDF]
Chiropractic & Manual TherapiesBackground The neurophysiology of high velocity, low amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) is poorly understood. We have characterized motor unit (MU) discharge in acute low back pain (ALBP) patients after spinal manipulation and compared with pre ...
