Summary

The present study aims to assess the effects of spinal manipulation therapy on neuromuscular performance.

Conditions

  • Manual Therapies

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Spinal manipulative therapy

Participants in the actual spinal manipulative therapy group will be assessed through the activator basic method protocol. SMT will be performed with an Activator IV (Activator Methods International, Phoenix, AZ) setting the force at level 3 for the low thoracic spine (T7-T12), and level 4 for the lumbar spine and pelvis.

OTHER

Sham spinal manipulative therapy

Participants in the sham SMT group will undergo a protocol identical to the actual one, with the exception that a sham mechanical thrust (force set at level 0) will be delivered to the targeted areas. In the force level 0 no excursion of the stylus occurs, but the instrument produces the same clicking sound as in the actual SMT condition
