Variability of spinal stiffness and its relation to daily activities: A prospective cohort study using a mechanical assisted indentation technique Open
Our study demonstrates that daily activities (i.e., sedentary and standing) contribute to the variability of spinal stiffness during the day. Age and sex did not significantly impact stiffness variability. Further investigations are warran…

The association between students’ confidence and ability to modulate spinal manipulation force–time characteristics of specific target forces: a cross-sectional study Open
Background Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is a guideline-recommended care for musculoskeletal pain taught in various undergraduate programs. Visual feedback through force-sensing tables can improve modulation of SMT force–time character…
View article: Pain profiles and variability in temporal summation of pain and conditioned pain modulation in pain‐free individuals and patients with low back pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia
Pain profiles and variability in temporal summation of pain and conditioned pain modulation in pain‐free individuals and patients with low back pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia Open
Background Pain profiles (e.g. pro‐ and anti‐nociceptive) can be developed using quantitative sensory testing (QST) but substantial variability exists. This study describes the variability in temporal summation of pain (TSP) and conditione…

Exploring the association between patient‐drawn pain diagrams and psychological and physical health variables: A large‐scale study of patients with low back pain Open
Background Despite the use of Patient‐Drawn Pain Drawings (PDPDs) in clinical settings, their validity as indicators of psychological distress remains debated. We aimed to assess the association between PDPD areas and physical health and p…

Long-term Trajectories of Low Back Pain in Older Men: A Prospective Cohort Study With 10-Year Analysis of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study Open
Although low back pain (LBP) may persist or recur over time, few studies have evaluated the individual course of LBP over a long-term period, particularly among older adults. Based on data from the longitudinal Osteoporotic Fractures in Me…

Static palpation ain’t easy: Evaluating palpation precision using a topographical map of the lumbar spine as a reference Open
Introduction Clinicians commonly use manual therapy to treat low back pain by palpating the spine to identify the spinous processes. This study aims to evaluate the ability of experienced clinicians to consistently locate the spinous proce…
