Casey's Aunt Asked What Article He Was Reading

question 38

Multiple Choice

Casey's Aunt asked what article he was reading. Casey replied, "It's a review of current research associated with the physical characteristics of spinal manipulation. I'm on a bit of a quest to track down all of the proposed mechanisms by which a high-velocity low amplitude thrust may remove nerve interference. It's pretty clear that deafferentation and hyperafferentation result in aberrant somatosensory input and integration. If the integration is poor the efferent signals will simply be wrong, and will result in strange motor or visceral neuromodulation." Casey's Aunt did not understand what the article was about because Casey used

• A) clichés.
• B) abstractions.
