John Hart, D.C. BIO and others
ABSTRACTSubscriber Full Article | Site License

This study compared the inter-examiner reliability of two approaches for determining vertebral alignment of the upper cervical spine: 1. by x-ray and 2. by palpation. The study also compared final x-ray listings to final palpation listings. A statistical analysis was performed for the individual parameters for both x-ray and palpation. Twenty out of a total of thirty (66.6%) x-ray parameters had acceptable percent agreement (Po) scores compared to eight out of thirty-five (22.8%) for palpation that had acceptable percent agreements (Po).
