Static palpation ain’t easy: evaluating palpation precision using a topographical map of the lumbar spine as a reference

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors aimed to utilize the topography of the lumbar spine to detect the precision of palpating spinous process locations (S1 to T12) as individual vertebral levels and as the total length when identified by experienced MT clinicians at five distinct time points. By comparing palpation results to a topographic standard, the authors provide a novel insight into the impact that imprecision of static lumbar spinal palpation has and support previous findings while highlighting multiple new aspects surrounding the imprecision of static palpation.
• Who: Inge Strøh Hvidkær et al. from the Medical . . .
