Physiotherapists often employ lower limb joint mobilization to reduce pain and increase
function. However, there is little experimental data confirming its efficacy. The purpose of this …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Mulligan has proposed the use of mobilization with
movement for lateral epicondylalgia. In this study, mobilization with movement for the elbow …

There are an increasing number of reports espousing the clinically beneficial effects of
Mulligan's mobilization-with-movement (MWM) treatment techniques. The most frequent …

Segmental neurological modulation, neural hysteresis and biomechanical effects have been
proposed as mechanisms underpinning the effects of manual therapy. An increasing …

Background Current evidence suggests that spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is effective in
the treatment of people with low back pain (LBP); however, the corresponding mechanisms …

Background Current evidence shows that manual therapy elicits analgesic effect in different

Joint manipulation has long been used for pain relief. However, the underlying mechanisms
for manipulation-related pain relief remain largely unexplored. The purpose of the current …

There is irrefutable evidence of an association between mechanical neck pain (MNP) and
dysfunction of the muscles of the cervical spine. A myriad of impairments have been …

No studies have investigated the effects of the treatments directed at the cervical spine in
patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Our aim was to investigate the effects of …

Objective: To compare the effects of cranio-cervical flexion vs cervical proprioception
training on neuromuscular control, pressure pain sensitivity and perceived pain and …
