The Investigation of Muscle Stiffness, Tone and Elasticity After a Spinal Mobilisation Intervention in People With Lower Back Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Manual spinal mobilisations for Lower Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the study is to measure and analyse the effect of a spinal mobilisation intervention on muscle tissue quality in people with lower back pain. The mobilisation intervention will be compared to a control with participants taking part in both conditions for a factorial, within-subject repeated measures study. The study will analyse lumbar muscle response to the manual intervention and analyse the potential influence of anthropometric measures of participants. The study hypothesises a decrease in lumbar stiffness post the intervention, compared to the control session.
