The maximum force loaded vertically in the left and right rotational pulling was 400.43\u00a0N, and the minimum was 182.4\u00a0N. The mean value was (274.79 \u00b1 52.08)\u00a0N. The manipulation trigger time was (0.35 \u00b1 0.03)\u00a0s, the maximum rotation angle was (73.7 \u00b1 1.34)\u00b0, and the subject\u2019s neck extension was (4.39 \u00b1 1.02)\u00a0mm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The \u201cprone stretching and adjusting neck manipulation\u201d is time-sensitive, short. The manoeuvre was divided into three phases: the stretching phase, the triggering phase, and the return phase.
