The effect of spinal manipulation on imbalances in leg strength
June 06, 2014
We hypothesized that spinal manipulation (SM) would reduce strength imbalances between legs. Using an unblinded randomized design, 28 males and 21 females (54 ± 19y) with at least a 15% difference in isometric strength between legs for hip flexion, extension, abduction, or knee flexion were randomized to treatment or placebo (mock spinal manipulation).
