The Biomechanical Analysis of Magnitude and Direction of Force by Different Techniques of Thoracic Spinal Manipulation

Table 3

Comparison of force according to the spine level on the -axis in P to A TSM ().

	T3	T7	T12		Post hoc
Baseline				301.297	a, b, c
PreMax				22.884	b, c
PreMin				22.576	b, c
Peak				80.971	b, c
Peak-baseline				14.047	b

Note. a = significant difference between T3 and T7; b = significant difference between T7 and T12; c = significant difference between T3 and T12; PreMax = preload maximum; PreMin = preload minimum; T = thoracic spine level. Values are expressed as (N).
