ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new tool designed to help chiropractors understand and measure the amount of pressure they apply during manual therapy treatments. Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to relieve pain and improve movement, and it's important for practitioners to know how much force they are using. The main goal of this study is to see if chiropractors can effectively use this measurement scale while working on a training manikin, which is a model of a human body.

If you’re a licensed chiropractor practicing in Quebec, Canada, you may be eligible to participate in this trial. To join, you should be able to perform about 50 manual therapy techniques in one hour and not have any health issues that would prevent you from doing so. Participants can expect to help test this new tool, which could ultimately improve how manual therapy is delivered to patients. This study is currently looking for participants, and all genders and age ranges are welcome to join.
