Check out the RESULTS from the August 2020 Technique of the Month! We reviewed a technique classified by the demonstrator as High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique.
What were respondents’ choices to classify the demonstrated technique?
A majority of respondents (25/44, 57%) indicated High-Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique as their first choice for categorizing this technique.
64% (28/44) of respondents listed High-Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique as one of their first 3 choices, while 50% (22/44) listed Articulatory or Still Technique.
What did respondents say when they learned the technique demonstrator classified the technique as High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique?
Respondents who Agreed with the Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique was one of their 3 choices)
There were no comments from those who agreed with the classification.
Respondents who Disagreed with Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (High Velocity-Low Amplitude or Thrust Technique was not one of their 3 choices)
IT is the same position I place the patient for release of gluteal tendonitis. I did not see a distinct thrust. It appeared that the operator was struggling a bit to raise the patients flexed lower leg more than a thrust.
I did not see a thrust, it looked more like a one movement Still technique.
guiding of the tissues and using respiratory cooperation
No mention of force being applied. By the way, how come no one rechecks after manipulation done?
There was no activating thrust. He used respiratory cooperation once he engaged the barrier.
I saw no thrust
There was no thrust; no high velocity component. This was more of a direct technique- engaging the barrier and using breath and tension to move past it.
I did not see not hear a thrust
There was no thrust, using compression at PSIS (gapping joint) and using respiratory cooperation was confusing.

Perhaps it would have been more noticeable as a thrust technique if he had been on the opposite side of the dysfunction and had given a lateral caudal impulse on the ilium with a slight adduction of the hip?
