Does inter-vertebral range of motion increase after spinal manipulation? A prospective cohort study. [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Spinal manipulation for nonspecific neck pain is thought to work in part by improving inter-vertebral range of motion (IV-RoM), but it is difficult to measure this or determine whether it is related to clinical outcomes.

Potential treatment effect modifiers for manipulative therapy for children complaining of spinal pain.Secondary analyses of a randomised controlled trial

Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, 2019
Background In children, spinal pain is transitory for most, but up to 20% experience recurrent and bothersome complaints. It is generally acknowledged that interventions may be more effective for subgroups of those affected with low back pain.

Assessing forces during spinal manipulation and mobilization: factors influencing the difference between forces at the patient-table and clinician-patient interfaces

Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, 2020
Background Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and mobilization (MOB) effects are believed to be related to their force characteristics. Most previous studies have either measured the force at the patient-table interface or at the clinician-patient ...

Low impact weight-bearing exercise in an upright posture achieves greater lumbopelvic stability than overground walking [PDF]

, 2013
The aim of this study was to determine the kinematic differences between movements on a new exercise device (EX) that promotes a stable trunk over a moving, unstable base of support, and overground walking (OW).

Spinal manipulative therapy for acute low-back pain [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2012
Many therapies exist for the treatment of low-back pain including spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), which is a worldwide, extensively practised intervention. This report is an update of the earlier Cochrane review, first published in January 2004 with the last search for studies up to January 2000.To examine the effects of SMT for acute low-back pain,
