 Research Abstract: Normal Joint Assymetry Can Fool Manual Palpation of the C-spine
Forces (5-25 N) were applied along the mediolateral axis, and the corresponding displacement along three orthogonal axes were documented with infrared diodes and the Optotrak camera system (Northern Digital, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada).
Thus, a clinician attempting to palpate vertebral motion would be misled by assuming that perceived restricted joint motion universally represented a finding potentially amenable to manipulation.
For spine palpation to be a valid indicator for manipulation, the clinician applying it must first be able to differentiate between asymmetrical motion caused by vertebral fixation and that caused by asymmetrical joint anatomy.
