Treatment Skills Development Laboratory

Force Sensing Tables within the Treatment Skills Development Lab provide students with the ability to finely tune their manual treatment skills (including manipulation, adjusting, mobilization and massage) in a way that was previously impossible. The modified treatment tables, with internally embedded force plates, are capable of assessing several biomechanical parameters of the adjustment to all spinal regions and extremities. Feedback, displayed in newtons, provides sensitive and precise measurements of force along the xyz axes, providing opportunities for further research through the scientific advancement of therapies.
