Abstract:

Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is a therapeutic procedure employed by various healthcare practitioners for alleviating acute and chronic musculoskeletal complaints. This form of treatment is also delivered to enhance the performance and augment the rehabilitation of athletes. However, despite research findings alleging the strength-modulating effects of SMT alongside numerous professional athletes’ positive anecdotal claims concerning its results, the physiological processes to explain its effects remain largely unexplained. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to investigate the effects

Abstract:

Introduction: Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) can provide pain relief for individuals with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). Clinical prediction rules can be used to identify patients who are likely to respond positively to a particular treatment approach. A list of 18 signs and symptoms across 5 domains have previously been developed by expert manual therapists, and are suggested to be predictors of instantaneous relief in people with NSLBP after SMT. However, these items have yet to be developed into a workable format and tested in a clinical setting. Objectives: To develop a workabl

Abstract:

Background: Patients with primary reports of neck pain often present with impairments of mobility, proprioception and motor control within the cervical spine, and these impairments can negatively impact patient outcomes. Cervical spine manipulation (CSM), which involves the use of thrust techniques, has been shown to be effective for some patients presenting with a primary report of neck pain. It would be useful for clinicians to have a decision making tool, such as a clinical prediction rule (CPR), that could accurately identify that subgroup of patients that would respond dramatically to CSM

Abstract:

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a condition that most people experience at least once in their lifetime and for which many will seek physiotherapeutic intervention. Recently published and internationally recognised clinical guidelines for the management of LBP recommend the use of spinal manual and manipulative therapy techniques alongside exercise, advice, education and pharmaceutical therapies, particularly in the early stages. Other areas of development in the last decade include classification systems, clinical prediction rules (CPR’s), patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS’s) and minimum clinic

A standardised quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) image acquisition protocol for the cervical spine was developed and tested.

For this, a wireless tri-axial accelerometer was taped to the dorsum of a clinician’s hand to record the accelerations generated during clinical treatment of 95 symptomatic patients. Peak acceleration magnitudes differed significantly between spinal levels (p<0.0001; lumbar > cervical > thoracic = sacroiliac). The latencies of these peaks were also significantly different (p<0.0001;

Abstract:

M. Tech.<br>Objective: This study was conducted in order to compare the effectiveness of Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) combined with guided imagery versus only guided imagery in the treatment of chronic neck pain and stiffness. Chiropractic SMT is aimed at treating neck pain as well as increasing the range of motion (ROM) of the neck. Guided imagery is aimed at reducing stress levels within the patient with a secondary effect of reducing tension in the neck muscles. This study therefore also has a secondary purpose to assess the effects of stress on chronic neck pain. It was h
