The effect of duration and amplitude of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) on spinal stiffness [PDF]
Manual Therapy, 2012 The aim of this study was to determine the effect of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) force magnitude and force duration on the spinal stiffness of a feline preparation. A mechanical device performed simulated SMTs at the L6 spinous process in 22 anesthetised felines. Animals were divided into four groups. Two groups (no preload, preload) received SMT
