AJP Forum: Pre-Manipulative Testing of the Cervical Spine.

This issue of the Journal includes a new feature: the 'AJP Forum'. The Editorial Board envisages that this feature will be used from time to time to provide a venue for expert comment on issues of importance for physiotherapy practice. The first Forum examines issues related to premanipulative testing of the cervical spine. It follows the Australian Physiotherapy Association's recent release of Clinical Guidelines for Pre-Manipulative Procedures for the Cervical Spine (Magarey et al 2000). The 2000 guidelines replace the protocol published in 1988.
