Influence of Intervertebral Fixation and Segmental Thrust Level on Immediate Post-Spinal Manipulation Trunk Muscle Spindle Response in an Animal Model

Objective: To characterize the effect of unilateral (single and two-level) lumbar facet/zygapophysial joint fixation on paraspinal muscle spindle activity immediately following L4 or L6 high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) delivered at various thrust durations. Methods: Secondar...
