Immediate influence of lumbar spine manipulation on pain, functional reach, static balance, and walking gait kinematics of individuals with acute low back pai

- Brief Summary
Results: Participants in the Manip group decreased their pain by 1.4 points (p=0.000), and increased their FRT by 41.5 mm (p=0.012), step length by 13.5 mm (p=0.019), and stride length by 40.0 mm (p=0.030). Participants in the No-Manip group only increased their FRT by 10.5 mm (p=0.011). Conclusions: Short-term, spinal manipulation of acute LBP patients resulted in a decrease in pain, and small improvements in functional reach, step length, and stride length.
