Mechanical Parameters and Trajectory of Two Chinese Cervical Manipulations Compared by a Motion Capture System.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the mechanical parameters and trajectory while operating the oblique pulling manipulation and the cervical rotation-traction manipulation. Methods: An experimental research measuring kinematics parameter and recording motion trajectories of two cervical manipulations were carried out. A total of 48 healthy volunteers participated in this study, who were randomly divided into two groups of 24 representing each of the two manipulations. A clinician performed two manipulations in two groups separately. A motion capture system was used to monitor and analyze kinematics parameters during the operation. Results: The two cervical manipulations have similar thrust time, displacement, mean velocity, max velocity, and max acceleration. There were no signifi
