Abstract

The objective of this study was to use the electromyography (EMG) via surface and intramuscular single motor unit recordings to further characterize the immediate sensorimotor effects of spinal manipulation and a control intervention using TMS. The results provide evidence that spinal manipulation of dysfunctional spinal segments increases low threshold motoneurone excitability.
