Chiropractic students’ characteristics influencing confidence and competence in modulating spinal manipulation force–time characteristics of specific target forces: a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study
While certain demographic and experiential factors are associated with increased confidence, these do not consistently translate to competence in SMT force-time characteristics. Targeted training approaches that account for individual student factors to better support them in developing their SMT motor skills are needed.
