Primary outcomePrimary: Left T6 Normalized Root Mean Square (RMS) Value — 3.72 ratio
Summary
The objective of the present study is to determine if spinal manipulations with a constant rate of force application but with different peak force and time to peak force lead to similar responses in healthy adults.
