“…This technique evaluates passive segmental mobility, which is an indirect reflection of the integrity of periarticular structures (ie, disc, capsule, and ligaments). Even though this and other manual therapy methods have been used with varying levels of success to reduce pain and improve mobility, 1,2,7,9,13,15,16 it is unclear how this particular manual technique influences intervertebral motion of the lumbar spine.…”

Study Design: Descriptive study. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the segmental motion of the lumbar spine during a posterior-to-anterior (PA) mobilization procedure using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging and to propose a mechanism of the lumbar spine's motion as a result of a PA force to a lumbar spinous process. Background: Studies reporting kinematic descriptions of PA mobilization are in agreement that motion takes place at all lumbar vertebrae. However, these studies differ in the reported direction of motion. Methods and Measures: Twenty asymptomatic subjects (mean age ± SD, 31.1 ± 7.0 years) participated in this study. For each subject, a PA mobilization force was manually applied at each lumbar spinous process while sagittal plane magnetic resonance images were simultaneously obtained. Intervertebral motion was defined as the change in the intervertebral angle between the resting and end range vertebral positions imparted by the PA pressure. Results: PA force applied at 1 spinous process caused motion at the target vertebra and this motion was propagated caudally and cranially. Motion at the target segment was always into extension. Conclusions: A PA force applied at a single lumbar spinous process caused motion of the entire lumbar region. The magnitude and direction of intervertebral motions varied with the segment at which the PA force was applied. We postulated that the intervertebral motion induced by a PA force on a spinous process could be in part explained by the morphology of the lumbar spine.

“…Similarly, others have implemented transcutaneous muscle stimulation to treat post-surgical pain [24], disuse atrophy [44], as well as chronic back pain [57]. However, transcutaneous muscle stimulation to manage pain has yielded conflicting results, and the efficacy of this approach remains uncertain [34,112].…”

Interfacing with the nervous system: a review of current bioelectric technologies

The aim of this study is to discuss the state of the art with regard to established or promising bioelectric therapies meant to alter or control neurologic function. We present recent reports on bioelectric technologies that interface with the nervous system at three potential sites-(1) the end organ, (2) the peripheral nervous system, and (3) the central nervous system-while exploring practical and clinical considerations.
