Study Summary
To characterize muscle activity through electromyography (EMG) of the lumbar spine during high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation according to parameters of practitioner contact (location, applied force) in healthy participants and two categories of low back pain participants.
Primary Outcome
Muscle activity of the lumbar spinal musculature as measured by both surface and indwelling electromyography. Total response expressed as a percentage of muscles "on".
