Comparison of the Effect of Spinal Manipulation by Gender

The patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position by the therapist. The foot was placed on the popliteal fossa of the lower leg while the upper knee was flexed. Once the patient was in this position, the therapist performed high velocity and low amplitude thrusts (HVLA; high velocity - low amplitude) on the vertebra with dysfunction (Fagundes Loss et al., 2020).
