Abstract
BACKGROUND:
OBJECTIVE:
METHODS/DESIGN:
1
RESULTS:
The review shows that cervical HVLA manipulation treatment results in a
large effect size (d > 0.80) on increasing cervical range of motion and mouth
opening. In patients with lateral epicondylalgia, cervical HVLA
manipulation resulted in increased pa -free handgrip strength, with large
effect sizes (1.44 and 0.78, respectively). Finally, in subjects with
hypertension the blood pressure seemed to decrease after cervical HVLA
manipulation. Higher quality studies are needed to develop a stronger
evidence- based foundation for HVLA manipulation techniques as a
treatment for cervical conditions.
