Abstract

Neck pain is a common global health care complaint with considerable social and economic impact. Systematic reviews have found exercise therapy (ET) to be effective for neck pain, either alone or in combination with spinal manipulation. However, it is unclear to what extent spinal manipulation adds to supervised exercise or how supervised high-dose exercise compares with low-dose home exercise.

Abstract

 Force sensing refers to the technology and methods used to measure the amount of force applied to an object or surface. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications, from medical procedures to robotics, manufacturing, and sports science. Force sensing technology allows for precise control, safety, and feedback in processes where force is a critical factor.

College of Chiropractic faculty member Paul Osterbauer and others participated in a peer-reviewed conference. Presentation title: Four-month skill retention using force sensing feedback after simulated, prone, thoracic adjustments. Presented to: The World Federation of Chiropractic's Biennial Education Conference in London, October 2018.
Abstract

Force sensing technology for thoracic adjustments is an emerging area, particularly in chiropractic care, physical therapy, and biomechanical research. This technology allows practitioners to monitor and adjust the amount of force applied during spinal manipulations, providing a more precise and safer approach.

Presentation given by Michele Maiers, Northwestern Health Sciences University's Executive Director of Research and Innovation during the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, November 2017.
Abstract

There are notable differences in functional limitations and comorbidities between older and younger users of chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation. This insight could help shape clinical practice, education, and policy decisions.
