First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested a device that measures how much pressure physical therapists apply during spinal mobilization for low back pain. Researchers enrolled 50 healthy adults and people with chronic low back pain to see if the tool could reliably track joint motion, force, and tissue stiffness. The goal is to give therapists a way to standardize this common treatment.
