Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyShort-term effects of Mulligan mobilization with movement on pain, disability, and kinematic spinal movements in patients with nonspecific low back pain: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the immediate- and short-term effects of lumbar Mulligan sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) on patients with nonspecific low back pain with respect to 2 new kinematic algorithms (KA) for range of motion and speed as well as pain, functional disability, and kinesiophobia. ⋯ This study showed evidence that lumbar spine SNAGs had a short-term favorable effect on KA-R, pain, and function in patients with nonspecific low back pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyInertial sensors as real-time feedback improve learning posterior-anterior thoracic manipulation: a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of real-time feedback on the learning process for posterior-anterior thoracic manipulation (PATM) comparing 2 undergraduate physiotherapy student groups. ⋯ This study found that the learning process for PATM is facilitated when the student receives real-time feedback.
