Lumbar Spinal Manipulation
Other interventionThis technique is based on the application of a high-velocity, low-amplitude force to the lumbar spine with the aim of increasing mobility.
Placebo Lumbar Spinal Manipulation
Other interventionThis intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of lumbar spinal manipulation.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Overall Postural Stability Index Measurement
This index will be assessed by measuring deviations of the center of gravity in the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. Lower scores indicate smaller deviations and better postural stability. The test will be performed on a stable platform with three trials of 30 seconds each. The average of the three trials will be automatically calculated by the TechnoBody balance system.
Time frame
Change from baseline overall postural stability index immediately after the intervention2
Fall Risk Assessment
Fall risk will be assessed by measuring the patient's ability to maintain balance on an unstable platform. Based on their ability to maintain balance, a fall risk score will be generated, with higher scores indicating a greater risk of falling. The test will be performed with three 30-second trials. The average of the three trials will be calculated automatically by the TechnoBody balance system.

Mediolateral Stability Index Measurement
The mediolateral stability index will be assessed by measuring deviations of the center of gravity in the mediolateral direction. Lower scores indicate smaller deviations and better mediolateral postural stability. The test will be performed on a stable platform with three trials of 30 seconds each. The average of the three trials will be automatically calculated by the TechnoBody balance system.
