This Dynadjust User’s Guide is intended to be used as a template for customizing the
integration of the Dynadjust technology into your unique program. The materials
included here are by no means intended to be a comprehensive list of treatment
simulations or exercises. The maneuvers presented here are listed based on the
experience of the authors as a result of many years of practice. Of course, professors may
opt to omit certain exercises or maneuvers that they deem to be contraindicated, and more
likely add to the program with enhancements of their own.
Obviously, this guide is not intended to teach
spinal manipulation, but rather to instruct
Dynadjust users on the optimal methods for
safely and efficiently training their own
bodies for the challenges ahead. We at
OrthoNeuro are always interested in hearing
feedback from the field. In the event that you
discover a new and useful method of using
the Dynadjust instrument, we would like hear
about it for possible inclusion in this guide.
The DREP and ACE exercises should serve
as a template for working up individual exercise routines, based on the strengths and
weaknesses of individual users. The Dynadjust Catalog of Exercises was created for the
convenience of being able to assign certain exercises without the need to spend a lot of
lab time explaining the exercise, and for ease of describing the work performed by the
student when they up-load the data from their assigned exercise sessions.
In most cases, the exercises are described without recommendations for Dynadjust
Parameter Settings. This is because each individual student will have different levels of
ability and different needs and expectations for their exercise programs and assignments.
You will notice that the twelve pre-programmed parameter settings are not necessarily in
the order of difficulty. It is recommended that each time you plan an exercise session or
assignment, review the settings and perhaps even test out the ones that you believe are
best suited for that particular exercise. Of course, in real-life treatment each patient will
be different in terms of the stiffness of their anatomy and the problem that you are
addressing. It takes a great deal of experience in palpation and diagnosis to decide on
what type of manipulation is optimal for any given treatment. For the purpose of training
for actual practice, the Dynadjust allows the user to experience a wide variety of depth
settings and resistance levels.
