 CBP® Nears 50 Published Research Papers!

by Sanghak O. Harrison, DC

Treasurer, CBP® Nonprofit, Inc.

 After seven years of publishing chiropractic and biomechanical research (1993-2000), CBP® is closing in on 50 published papers! In December 1999, we purchased an upgraded sonic digitizer with a wider field of analysis. This was necessary because in November 1999, my husband Dr. Don Harrison and Dr. Phil Paulk of Stockbridge, Georgia took 60 lateral full spine x-rays of volunteers from the Life University CBP® Club. The 14x36 inch field required an increase in digitizing power. Four research projects will become available from this data (#48-#51 in the list below). My husband and Dr. Tad Janik are excited to discover what shape the “normal” thoracic kyphosis will be. They are hypothesizing an ellipse, but only the data will tell!

      In May 1999, Dr. Deed Harrison and my husband Dr. Don, presented four research papers at the World Federation of Chiropractic’s Auckland, New Zealand meeting. A lateral cervical reliability project, our only platform presentation, was recently accepted at Spine (# 41). The AP Lumbar Reliability project was published in JMPT in June 1999 (#33), the “trunklist” project was published recently in the December 1999 issue of Clinical Biomechanics (#34), and we just were informed that our lateral head translation project has been accepted at Clinical Biomechanics (#40). We wonder if any other WFC presenters have achieved this kind of success in publishing.

      The project that we funded through Dr. Vijay Goel’s student at the University of Iowa is underway. However, Dr. Goel states that this project will be the student’s thesis and the student has classes to complete and the Finite Element program to master before entering data to achieve some cervical stresses and strains results. CBP® has committed to funding this project for a second year.

      It is a new year again and we remind our members that the year 2000 dues of $250 are due. Of course, we need any amount smaller or larger that you can give. If you appreciate our CBP® already published and future projects, please tear out the attached coupon and mail in your donation today. CBP® Nonprofit has tax deductible status with the IRS.
