Study Summary
No studies have investigated the effects of a supine thoracic spine manipulation (TSM) on neurodynamic mobility, as compared to a sham intervention. This study aims to determine the immediate effects of TSM on the Upper Limb Provocation Test (ULPT) and Seated Slump Test (SST) compared to a sham intervention in asymptomatic subjects with neurodynamic limitations.
Primary Outcome
Subjects will lie on their back with their shoulder slightly off the edge of a treatment table. The investigator will then bend the subjects neck away from the shoulder being tested and position the arm into the starting test position. The investigator will then straighten the subjects elbow until it is fully extended, or until the subject reports discomfort or an abnormal feeling in their arm. This procedure will be completed before and immediately after either the treatment intervention (manip
