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

Table 5

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

	T3	T7	T12		Post hoc
Baseline				20.482	a, b, c
Peak				10.095	a, c
Peak-baseline				4.785	a

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).
