ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are shown for simulating therapeutic manipulations with reduced risk of injury. The apparatus of the present invention includes a reciprocating body which fits into an axial bore of an elongate housing. A biasing member also fits within the axial bore and generates elastic resistance force in response when the reciprocating body and elongate housing are compressed together. A measuring device is included which measures the speed and amplitude of an impulse of the simulated manipulation and displays the results of the impulse on a display. The method of the present invention includes delivering an impulse of a therapeutic manipulation to the apparatus above rather than a training partner or an inanimate object, measuring the speed and amplitude of the impulse, and displaying the result of the measurement.
