About

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:

1. How much force and for how long do chiropractors apply spinal mobilizations on pediatric manikins?

Full 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.

Enrollment: 12 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Being a chiropractor in private practice and a member of the Ordre des chiropraticiens du Québec

Description:

Chiropractors will perform spinal mobilizations on three different pediatric-sized manikins while a sensor will measure the force and time parameters used.
