Lasting effects of atlanto-axial manipulation on edge light pupil cycle time
Background: Edge Light Pupil Cycle Time (ELPCT) is a light reflex of the eye, which is controlled via the automatic nervous system. Studies have shown ELPCT to be a measurable constant, unaffected by visual acuity, refractive error, eye colour, pupil size or gender. Recent studies have shown that …
