About this study
Official title: Force-time Characteristics of Spinal Mobilizations Delivered on Pediatric Manikins
This observational study aims to create simulations using pediatric manikins to teach pediatric spinal mobilizations. We'll measure the force and duration of spinal mobilizations applied by chiropractors on pediatric manikins. Another objective is to gather feedback from both students and teachers on the effectiveness of using manikins for teaching.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- How much force and for how long do chiropractors apply spinal mobilizations on pediatric manikins?
Read the detailed description
This project aims to initiate the development of low-fidelity simulations to enhance the learning of skills associated with performing pediatric spinal mobilizations. This will be achieved by gathering target values for the force and duration of spinal mobilizations performed by chiropractors on pediatric manikins.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Spinal mobilisationOther
Application of a force on pediatric manikins.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Participants | Chiropractors will perform spinal mobilizations on three different pediatric-sized manikins while a sensor will measure the force and time parameters used. Receives: Other: Spinal mobilisation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Peak force (N) reached during the spinal mobilization measured by a force sensor
The spinal mobilization will be delivered on a force sensor (Loadpad(R)) that will measured the force-time characteristics. The peak force reached during the therapy will be extracted.
Measured: During the spinal mobilization
Duration (s) of spinal mobilization measured by a force sensor
The spinal mobilization will be delivered on a force sensor (Loadpad(R)) that will measured the force-time characteristics. The duration of the therapy will be extracted.
Measured: During the spinal mobilization

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Spinal Mobilization, run by Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières at 1 site in Canada.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Peak force (N) reached during the spinal mobilization measured by a force sensor (time frame: During the spinal mobilization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2026.
