简要总结
This study will examine the effect of upper and lower extremity manipulations on an upper extremity balancing task.
详细描述
Spinal manipulation has long been thought to have beneficial effects on posture, balance and proprioception; however, only a single study has investigated the effect of chiropractic treatment of the extremities on balance and posture. In a previous study, it was noted that lower extremity manipulation led to more ordered behavior on a dynamic, lower extremity balance task. It was also found that upper extremity manipulation led to less ordered behavior with same lower extremity balance task. Further studies are needed not only to validate this theory, but to further clarify the mechanism regarding specificity of manipulation to task.

结局指标
主要结局
Head Sensor to calculate angle of head inclination
时间窗: 30 seconds
There will be a sensor placed on each participant's head (in a neoprene headband), as well as on the midpoint of the tube. The head sensor will be used to calculate the angle of head inclination. The sensor on the tube will be used to calculate Sample Entropy as well as general kinematics.
次要结局
- Ground reaction force(less than 1 minute)
- Center of pressure(less than 1 minute)
- Velocity to measure sway.(less than 1 minute)
- Sway: measuring distance(less than 1 minute)
- acceleration to measure sway(less than 1 minute)
