Abstract/Notes

Early studies on the Anatometer (1983 and 1984) revealed low significance of correlation with both intra- and inter-examiner reliability . Part of the difficulty with interpretation of these studies was due to the participation of inexperienced examiners performing too many measurements in too short a period of time.

The present research used experienced chiropractic doctors and assistants who collected data from volunteer patients in six different chiropractic offices in the United States and Canada. The results from the Anatometer data showed significant correlation with all three measurements used for the inter- and intra-reliability portion of the study. The pre- to post adjustment comparisons demonstrated statistical significance with a p value less than 0.02.

The conclusion was that the Anatometer is a valuable instrument for determining the effectiveness of atlas adjustments by field chiropractors .
