Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine the effect of upper and lower extremity manipulations on an upper extremity balancing task.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
