Check out the RESULTS from the August 2020 Technique of the Month! We reviewed a technique classified by the demonstrator as High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique.
What were respondents’ choices to classify the demonstrated technique?
- A majority of respondents (25/44, 57%) indicated High-Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique as their first choice for categorizing this technique.
- 64% (28/44) of respondents listed High-Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique as one of their first 3 choices, while 50% (22/44) listed Articulatory or Still Technique.
What did respondents say when they learned the technique demonstrator classified the technique as High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique?
- Respondents who Agreed with the Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique was one of their 3 choices)
- There were no comments from those who agreed with the classification.
- Respondents who Disagreed with Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique was not one of their 3 choices)
- IT is the same position I place the patient for release of gluteal tendonitis. I did not see a distinct thrust. It appeared that the operator was struggling a bit to raise the patients flexed lower leg more than a thrust.
- I did not see a thrust, it looked more like a one movement Still technique.
- guiding of the tissues and using respiratory cooperation
- No mention of force being applied. By the way, how come no one rechecks after manipulation done?
- There was no activating thrust. He used respiratory cooperation once he engaged the barrier.
- I saw no thrust
- There was no thrust; no high velocity component. This was more of a direct technique- engaging the barrier and using breath and tension to move past it.
- I did not see not hear a thrust
- There was no thrust, using compression at PSIS (gapping joint) and using respiratory cooperation was confusing.
Perhaps it would have been more noticeable as a thrust technique if he had been on the opposite side of the dysfunction and had given a lateral caudal impulse on the ilium with a slight adduction of the hip?
