Voluntary Learner Encounters, Outside of Class Time. (Institutional Enrollment Approx. 740)
Enthusiastic learner engagement with FSTT™ is demonstrated by the sharp increase in voluntary student time committed to practicing of treatment techniques.
Students having difficulty developing skills who use reflection time with FSTT™ have been shown to raise their skill levels with less than one hour of dedicated time in our simulation lab (HEQCO report).
The FSTT™ system is intended to be used for teaching and learning, assessment and research purposes.

To enhance the development of motor skills used to deliver spinal manipulation, the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College integrated force plate technology into therapeutic tables. These force sensing tables provide instantaneous data on loads transmitted by the manual therapist and offer both students and their mentors immediate objective feedback of results of their performance through a display of their force-time profile.
The skills of students can be directly quantified and compared to expert force-time profiles and students can then use this objective feedback to model the desired behavior rather than rely on observational and intrinsic feedback alone.
FSTT™ Features
• Displays visual “knowledge-of-results” 1 output
° Baseline pre-load values
° Force amplitude
° Rate-of-rise in force
° Moment loads (may require user input of patient configuration and location of load application site)
° Direction of impulse
° Digitizing function
• Saves results for reflective practice and contrasting with new efforts
High velocity, low amplitude (HVLA), mobilization and continuous recording emulation modes
FSTT™ Benefits
• High student engagement and enhanced confidence and competence with manual skills
• Documents student progress in the learning of adjusting and other manual treatment methods
• Enhances tutor coaching of methods
• Enables standards for performance defined by faculty or based on the literature
• Allows evaluation of procedures to all spinal regions
• Evaluation of many extremity procedures (may require accessories)
• Effective with mannequins or live volunteers as surrogate patients.
A typical force-time profile for a manipulation procedure includes:
1. Pre-load force applied during the initial positioning and control of the patient’s posture
2. Rate of rise or “speed” of force production
3. Peak amplitude of force
4. Duration of the impulse component of the procedure
5. Direction of the applied force

The combination of the force plate tables and adjusting mannequins should be a gold standard in educating students in our profession. It is extremely effective
and makes learning fun. The use of the mannequin allows students to deliver as many thrusts on a “person” as they wish without causing harm. I would have
loved the opportunity to learn on something like this as a student.
