Significant results (p<0.05) are bolded. Pain levels are negatively related to twitch force, number of treatments, duration of the treatment session, and directly related to blood pressures and pulse rate with no correlation to treatment interval.
Numbers of treatments and duration of treatment sessions are negatively correlated to systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and directly related to twitch force.
DBP, diastolic blood pressure; intv, interval; no., number; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TWF, twitch force; Tx, treatment.
