Effect of Spinal Manipulation on Sensorimotor Functions in Back Pain Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HVLA-SM, LVVA-SM, and 1 other intervention for Low Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 221 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The long-term goal for this study is to understand the physiological mechanisms of various forms of spinal manipulation in order to refine and improve this therapy for appropriately selected patients. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of high-velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation and low-velocity variable amplitude spinal manipulation on three types of sensorimotor abilities in patients with low back pain.
