Evaluation of the effects of chiropractic on static and dynamic muscle variables in sport horses

– the objective of this prospective controlled experimental study was to assess the effect of chiropractic on static bioimpedance (BI) and dynamic acoustic myography (AMG) of paired muscle groups in healthy sport horses. BI measures the passage of current through muscle and gives information relat ing to the degree of contraction, while AMG records and analyzes low frequency sounds created during muscular activity [1, 2].
