Abstract
In order to understand clinical research advance on palpation for cervical ‘vertebral subluxation’, we have retrieved, sorted and analyzed relevant literature on ‘vertebral subluxation’ palpation from database both home and abroad. The study has suggested that static palpation is the major method for cervical ‘vertebral subluxation’ palpation and motion palpation for cervical segmental mobility has great clinical significance. However, there is no sufficient evidence or ‘gold standard’ regarding motion palpation. As a result, the future research priority should be put on rigorous clinical studies according to evidence-based diagnostic trial design. This can help to assess palpation method for ‘vertebral subluxation’ objectively, scientifically and practically, thus providing standardized palpation procedures for spinal manipulation.
