Abstract

The authors have developed experimental set-up to simulate chiropractic high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulations (HVLA SM) used for treating low back pain. The experimental set-up was used to test fresh unembalmed lumbar spinal specimens Our experimental-set-up simulated HVLA SM manipulations such as doctors hand contact, anatomical locations of load application, durations of load, magnitudes of load. The results from the experimental setup are used to validate finite element models that simulated HVLA SM.
