Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative effect of instrument-delivered thrust cervical manipulations in comparison with traditional manual-delivered thrust cervical manipulations in the treatment of cervical
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to quantify the mobility characteristics (dynamic stiffness and mechanical impedance) of the normal human thoracolumbar spine with
Abstract The stress-strain relationships of human spinal ligaments and muscles indicate that the spinal musculature play a major role in spine stability (1, 2). Low-loading
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the neuromuscular reflex responses of the erector spinae musculature to spinal manipulative thrusts (SMTs) in patients
Abstract Assessments of spinal stiffness are becoming more popular in recent years as a objective biomechanical means to evaluate the human frame. Studies investigating posteroanterior
Abstract BACKGROUND: Although the mechanisms of spinal manipulation are poorly understood, the clinical effects are thought to be related to mechanical, neurophysiologic, and reflexogenic processes.
Abstract Since its establishment in 1945, the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) has predominately adhered to a Diversified model of chiropractic technique in the core
