The Effect of Thoracic Spine Manipulation on Peripheral Neurodynamic Mobility
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Musculoskeletal Manipulations
In brief
No studies have investigated the effects of a supine thoracic spine manipulation (TSM) on neurodynamic mobility, as compared to a sham intervention. This study aims to determine the immediate effects of TSM on the Upper Limb Provocation Test (ULPT) and Seated Slump Test (SST) compared to a sham intervention in asymptomatic subjects with neurodynamic limitations.
