Fig. 2From: Neuromechanical response to spinal manipulation therapy: effects of a constant rate of force application a Typical SMT force-time profile with time-windows, and (b) typical sEMG and kinematic responses. The rate of force application (N/s) is equal to the force applied (peak force – preload force) divided by the time to peak force. SMT: spinal manipulation therapyBack to article page
