Mechanisms of manipulation: a systematic review of the literature on immediate anatomical structural or positional changes in response to manually delivered high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation Open
Background Spinal manipulation (SM) has been claimed to change anatomy, either in structure or position, and that these changes may be the cause of clinical improvements. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate and synthesise the…

Do We have Arguments in Decision Making: Conservative or Surgical Treatment in Painful Degenerative Large Rotator Cuff Tears? Open
Background and Hypotheses: The contemporary research literature indicates that there is no significant clinical difference in terms of improvement of pain and functional disability between surgical repair and rehabilitation treatment for d…

What is the effect of spinal manipulation on the pressure pain threshold in young, asymptomatic subjects? A randomized placebo-controlled trial, with a cross-over design Open
Background Spinal manipulation (SM) has been shown to have an effect on the pressure pain threshold (PPT) in asymptomatic subjects, but SM has never been compared in studies on this topic to a validated sham procedure. We investigated the …

How big is the effect of spinal manipulation on the pressure pain threshold and for how long does it last? – secondary analysis of data from a systematic review Open
Authors need to revise their approach to 'effect size'. Our calculations showed that the effect-size of SM on PPT may go from 'medium' to 'large' within the first five minutes but appears to diminish again within ten minutes. Research of t…

The paraspinal muscle-tendon system: Its paradoxical anatomy Open
Anatomy of the muscle-tendon system is an important component to musculoskeletal models. In particular, the cross-sectional area of belly (mCSA) and tendon (tCSA) provides information about the maximum force that a muscle may exert. The ra…

Posture‐related stiffness mapping of paraspinal muscles Open
The paraspinal compartment acts as a bone–muscle composite beam of the spine. The elastic properties of the paraspinal muscles play a critical role in spine stabilization. These properties depend on the subjects’ posture, and they may be d…

Rigid Ankle Foot Orthosis Deteriorates Mediolateral Balance Control and Vertical Braking during Gait Initiation Open
Rigid ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are commonly used for impeding foot drop during the swing phase of gait. They also reduce pain and improve gait kinematics in patients with weakness or loss of integrity of ankle-foot complex structures due …

Shear wear elastography of the human Achilles tendon: a cadaveric study of factors influencing the repeatability Open
1. Introduction Achilles tendinopathy is a frequent disease, which can lead to tendon rupture (Hess 2010). Its treatment is controversial, partly due to the actual lack of reliable diagnostic tools in clinical practice. Shear waves elastog…
