- This was the first paper to objectively measure the effects of spinal manipulation on continuous intervertebral motion in the neck using quantitative fluoroscopy, an innovative imaging technology. Its results, that it had no significant effects, reset international understanding of manipulative therapy worldwide, having over 7,000 article accesses and an Altmetric score of 35. It led to a further collaboration with Dr Rene Lindstrom at the University of Aalborg in Denmark which investigated the variation in intervertebral motion, rather than its range, and established the first normal intervertebral motor control parameters for use in the diagnosis of neck pain.
