Paediatric Spinal Manipulation and Mobilisation
PURPOSE:
To develop IFOMPT and IOPTP evidence-based position statements on the role
(benefits and harms) of spinal manipulation and mobilisation techniques in the
treatment of infants, children, and adolescents.
OBJECTIVE:
1. Summarise and critically analyse the research evidence and practice of spinal
manipulation and mobilisation treatments for musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal conditions in infants, children, and adolescents within the
international physiotherapy community.
2. Investigate the clinometric properties of outcomes measures used in the
scoping review.
3. Determine the perspectives of paediatric and orthopaedic manual
physiotherapy experts through a Delphi survey methodology.
4. Establish position statements to guide physiotherapists in safe and effective
use of spinal manipulation and mobilisation for paediatric populations.
