Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if there was going to be any lasting cardiovascular effects comparing an anterior HVLAT osteopathic thrust technique with a Set-up technique on the T2 - 3 motion segment. The number of subjects that participated in this study was 15 (10 male and 5 female). These subjects composed of 4th year BCOM students. To determine the cardiovascular response blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) was monitored.Method: To determine if each subject was safe to participate in the study exclusion criteria provided by a screening questionnaire and provocative testing was performed on each subject. Each subject was positioned in the supine position were a rest period was given of two minutes before commencement of the study. Each subject had there BP and HR measured three times with a two minute resting period motion segment, thereby making each subject their own control. A HVLAT Set-up was then given to each subject. Their HR and BP were measured every two minutes for 20 minutes. This procedure was then repeated for the HVLAT intervention. All measurements were conducted using the OMRON 705 CP automated sphygmomanometer.
Results: Both HVLAT and Set-up interventions resulted in no significant difference in BP and HR at the end of the 20 minute period.
Conclusion: In a 20 minute period there appears no significant change in systolic BP, diastolic BP and HR by the end of the 20 minute periods following either interventions. - presented at
