Brief Summary

Results: Participants with spine pain showed greater impairment in core proprioception at baseline than those with no pain. Participants who received SMT approximated 90 degrees more closely in relation to their peers on the post-test (p=0.005). There was no difference in reaction time between groups (p=0.219). Conclusions: Spinal manipulation did not improve reaction time, but it did increase approximation to 90 degrees during the hip rotation task for participants with spine pain.
