Abstract OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to compare the variation of manipulative forces produced by instruments and a manual technique. METHODS: Four operators
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the 3-dimensional intersegmental motion responses produced by 3 commonly used chiropractic adjusting instruments.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To document potential mediating effects of the Activator-assisted spinal manipulative therapy (ASMT) on pain and hyperalgesia after acute intervertebral foramen (IVF) inflammation. METHODS:
Abstract Objective: To examine the effect of spinal manipulation on electromyographic (EMG) activity in areas of localized tight muscle bundles of the low back. Methods:
Abstract BACKGROUND: Assessments of posteroanterior (PA) spinal stiffness using mobilization apparatuses have demonstrated an increase in PA spine stiffness during voluntary contraction of the lumbar
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To simultaneously quantify vertebral motions and neuromuscular and spinal nerve root responses to mechanical force, manually assisted, short-lever spinal manipulative thrusts. METHODS: Four
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To quantify in vivo spinal motions and coupling patterns occurring in human subjects in response to mechanical force, manually assisted, short-lever spinal manipulative
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine if there was a basis for the treatment of temporomandibular disease (TMD) using the chiropractic protocol developed by Activator Methods, International.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To examine radiological changes of the lateral cervical curve in patients who received chiropractic care after motor vehicle collisions. DESIGN: A retrospective case
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To develop a mathematical model capable of describing the static and dynamic motion response of the lumbar spine to posteroanterior forces. DESIGN: Static,
