Neural Response During a Mechanically Assisted Spinal Manipulation in an Animal Model: A Pilot Study
Journal Title: Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Mechanoreceptor stimulation is theorized to contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of spinal manipulation. Use of mechanically-assisted spinal manipulation (MA-SM) devices is increasing among manual therapy clinicians worldwide. The purpose of this pilotstudy is to determine the feasibility of recording in vivo muscle spindle responses during a MA-SM in an intervertebral fixated animal model.
