Change from displacement maximum peak (seconds)

An instrumented manikin (Resusci Anne Full Body with signal box, Laerdal Medical AS) joined an inertial sensor (Inertial Cube (Intersense Inc, USA)) was used to register the physical parameters during execution of the PATM. The inertial sensor was placed in the middle of the thoracic spine, placing hands immediately below the sensor. The manikin has a ribcage with a deformation capacity similar to that of a human thorax. This option was chosen to minimize the power variation when comparing differences in parameters between different groups of students. The inclusion criteria used were that they did not have any training in manual therapy techniques, especially those involving a high velocity, low amplitude execution.
