Abstract
Study design: Randomized Controlled laboratory study.
Background: The brain’s sensorimotor system is constantly converting acquired sensory stimuli from the body and its environment into transmittable signals that elicit a response in the brain, allowing the body to unconsciously control many homeostatic processes, including balance. Mechanoreceptors found in joints communicate with the motor division of the brain to understand where it is located in space through a process called proprioception. This allows for subtle changes in posture that help one remain upright when attempting to balance all their weight on one limb.
Objective: To assess the strength and proprioceptive response through high velocity low amplitude joint manipulation of the hip observed through changes in dynamic balance and hip abductor strength.
Method: __ healthy individuals were randomly assigned to a group receiving a thrust manipulation of the hip (n=__), or a sham manipulator (n=__). Before and after intervention, participants completed the star excursion balance test (SEBT) as well as a measurement of hip abductor strength.
Discussion: ________
Conclusion: _______
Key Words: Proprioception, dynamic balance, mechanoreceptors, hip strength, hip abductors, SEBT
