Brief Summary

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

Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are at high risk of injuries, often related to overexertion while lifting or carrying patients or equipment. They require a high level of functional fitness to operate safely and avoid injuries. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore feasibility and assess effects of multimodal chiropractic care on Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores among EMS students.

Detailed Description

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

EMS students at a local community college voluntarily completed baseline FMS testing. Those who obtained 14 or less, a sign of movement dysfunction, were recruited to participate in a study to evaluate effects of multimodal chiropractic care on FMS scores. Participants received multimodal chiropractic care with an emphasis on spinal manipulation and corrective exercise for up to 6 weeks.
