Efficacy of different biomechanical strategies for modulating force–time parameters of high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation of the thoracic spine: a randomized crossover experimental study
Strategies used in this study effectively facilitated modulation of force-time characteristics of prone thoracic HVLA-SM. Thus, training approaches may consider introducing people to different biomechanical strategies to enhance HVLA-SM force modulation.
