Measurement of Lumbar Spine Loads and Motions During Rotational Mobilization

The mechanical effects of rotational mobilization are not restricted to axial rotation of the spine as the name may have suggested. Rotational mobilization may be able to restore lost movements of the lumbar spine in any of the 3 planes. The method developed in this study showed good reliability and may be considered to assess treatment outcome and changes in spinal stiffness after therapy.
