“…The manipulative force has been described as an explicit function of the clinician's mass and impact velocity and the intrinsic stiffness and elasticity of both the clinician and patient (Haas, 1990a;Haas, 1990b). Experimentally, these forces have been measured directly or indirectly using treatment simulators (Keller & Colloca, 2002;Sran et al, 2004;Ianuzzi & Khalsa, 2005a;Sung et al, 2005), force platforms (Rogers & Triano, 2003;Tsung et al, 2005) and pressure sensitive mats (Herzog et al, 1993a;Herzog et al, 1997;Kirstukas & Backman, 1999;Herzog et al, 2001). …”
