High velocity low amplitude thrust applied at the vertebral level during spinal manipulation is thought to slide the vertebrae over each other and alter segmental biomechanics.
Evidence suggests that spinal HVLA techniques may produce acute changes in skin sympathetic nerve activity. There are studies reporting that thoracic HVLA manipulation causes a statistically significant increase in cardiac vagal activity in the immediate post-intervention period compared to sham administration.

The practitioner's arm was placed in the mid-thoracic region from the opposite side of the individual's torso in the form of a half fist. In this position, the SPs coincide with the space in the middle of the half fist, while the TPs coincide with the fingertips and the thenar region. With the practitioner's other hand supporting the patient's elbows, a high-speed-low-amplitude thrust is applied from front to back.
the practitioner positions the hypothenar part of his hands above the TPs in the mid-thoracic segment. From this point, a high-velocity-low-amplitude thrust is applied from the back to the front.

Autonomic nervous system device
The Polar H10 device is a heart rate sensor that comes with a wearable chest strap and is the gold standard of high sensitivity and accuracy. It can be connected to multiple training devices via Bluetooth and ANT+. The device comes with a soft, adjustable sensor that touches the chest to capture the heart rate in real time. In the study, the autonomic nervous system will be evaluated with the Polar H10 device. By connecting the device to a smart phone via bluetooth, the data will be recorded and the software supported by the device will be used for the analysis of the data.

Finger Oximeter
Finger oximeter (finger pulse oximeter) measures heart rate per minute and oxygen level in blood easily and quickly. This device, which is placed on the fingertip, measures the oxygen saturation by sensing the color tone changes in the blood depending on the oxygen with infrared rays. Oxygen saturation refers to the oxygen saturation in the blood. Typical oxygen saturation levels in a healthy person range from 95-100%. In people with lung problems, these values may be slightly lower.
