Isometric Torso Muscle Endurance Profiles in Adolescents Aged 15-18: Normative Values for Age and Gender Differences Males had higher lateral torso endurance than females. Adolescents in general demonstrate their peak lifetime endurance as they appear more endurable than children and…
In Vitro Biomechanical Evaluation of Single Impulse and Repetitive Mechanical Shockwave Devices Utilized for Spinal Manipulative Therapy Although controlled clinical trials are needed to determine the correlation between thrust profile and clinical outcome, already ongoing clinical studies indicate an improved…
The Relevance of Scapular Dysfunction in Neck Pain: A Brief Commentary Though our understanding of motor disorders and mechanical neck pain has advanced, the role of scapular dysfunction in mechanical neck pain remains enigmatic. The biomechanical interdependence between the neck…
Inflammation of the Thoracolumbar Fascia Excites and Sensitizes Rat Dorsal Horn Neurons One of the prominent findings was the appearance of new receptive fields in deep tissues of the hindlimb. Together with the expansion of the spinal target region of…
Changes in Pain Perception After Pelvis Manipulation in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial The bilateral GPM technique improves in a short term the self-perceived low back pelvic pain, the PPT in both SIJs, and the serotonin levels…
Birch Helps Wounds Heal Faster In this way, the substances from the birch cause keratinocytes – the most common type of cell in the outermost layer of skin – to migrate more quickly into the wound and close it. #science…
Muscle-controlling neurons know when they mess up, according to research Whether it is playing a piano sonata or acing a tennis serve, the brain needs to orchestrate precise, coordinated control over the body’s many muscles. Moreover, there needs to be…
The use of “stabilization exercises” to affect neuromuscular control in the lumbopelvic region: a narrative review Evidence-based health care requires clinicians to use the best available evidence to assist in their clinical deci-sion making. It is suggested that the two…
Mamillo-accessory Notch and Foramen: Distribution Patterns and Correlation With Superior Lumbar Facet Structure This study may help to understand if MAN and MAF related dorsal rami entrapment neuropathies arise merely due to osteoarthritic ossification of the MAL or could also…
Immediate Effects of Spinal Manipulation on Nitric Oxide, Substance P and Pain Perception In conclusion, mechanical stimulus provided by cervical manipulation increases substance P levels and pressure pain threshold but does not change nitric oxide concentrations. Part of the hypoalgesic…
