Objective: The objective of this article is to report positive changes in oxygen saturation (SpO2) as measured by pulse oximetry in a neonate with vertebral subluxation.
Clinical Features: A certified midwife placed a pulse oximeter on a neonate’s foot immediately after birth where she noticed the SpO2 level was low. Per state protocol, she inform...
Introduction
Balance is an essential aspect of overall health in humans today. A disturbance in balance
can increase the chances of falling in adults, which is a significant cause of loss in quality
of life, death, and injury in older adults. In the US the estimated medical costs associated
with falling are 20 billion dollars for those over 65 yea...
The purpose of this study was to observe potential changes in pelvic kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters of the gait cycle in subjects before and after postural-based chiropractic care using a single IMU at the level of the first sacral segment in a private chiropractic office. This investigation may provide objective means of patient function...
The purpose of this study is to describe the improvements in postural sway measured by the Kinect One
in three asymptomatic amateur athletes undergoing a multi-modal program of chiropractic care. An ice skater, a
folkloric dancer, and a marathon runner presented themselves to a chiropractic office seeking care at different dates.
They each received...
Narrative: Forward head posture (FHP) is the most common alteration of the neck on the sagittal plane that presents to healthcare clinics. It is defined as a position of the neck in which the tragus of the ear is located forward to the middle of the shoulder joint. This positioning causes forward translation of the cervical vertebrae and hyperexten...
The purpose of this study was to investigate if BMI and age predict FHP in a cohort of two hundred and five Latino patients seeking chiropractic care. A secondary aim was to observe if the effect of BMI on FHP was exacerbated by age.
The purpose of this paper is to report the positive changes in pain, HRV, grip strength and other sensory-motor symptoms in a 17-year-old former youth soccer player with CA receiving postural-based chiropractic are.

Introducción: El Cono de Economía (CoE) es un concepto que inicialmente fue descrito por Dubousset y hoy en día es utilizado al evaluar el balance de pacientes en el ámbito clínico. Recientemente un protocolo para cuantificar el CoE fue desarrollado. La cámara de profundidad del Xbox Kinect tiene potencial como herramienta de análisis para el movim...
Introducción: El mantener un balance adecuado es de mucha importancia tanto para el rendimiento deportivo como la prevención de lesiones. Recientemente se ha evidenciado un aumento en la utilización de entrenamientos diseñados para mejorar el balance, aunque existen interrogantes acerca de la dosificación del mismo para observar mejorías. La cámara...

In this project we would like to evaluate the feasibility of the Kinect One depth camera to evaluate postural sway and certain components of the cone of economy (CoE). Utilizing a modified Romberg's test with four conditions: eyes open on the floor, eyes closed on the floor, eyes open on a perturbation mat, eyes closed on a perturbation mat.
Gait abnormalities are common in today's society and they can present a problem to the aging population around the world. Chiropractic care can be effective in reducing pain, improving balance and has the potential to induce neuroplastic and neurometabolic changes in the brain. Very little research exists studying the effects of chiropractic care i...
The objective of this article is to report positive changes in oxygen saturation (SpO2) as measured by pulse oximetry in a neonate with vertebral subluxation. Article is currently in review for publication.
A 75-year old Hispanic male patient presented to a chiropractic clinic complaining of low back pain, shoulder pain, and with a diagnosis of PD. The PDQ-39 was utilized to measure health related quality of life (HRQL), and objective testing included: grip strength, finger tapping test, surface EMG (sEMG), digital postural analysis, and full spine ra...
