Note
One spelling does two jobs: the plain past (she manipulated the dial) and the participle after have or be (the figures had been manipulated). Nearly every meaning of manipulate takes an object, so the passive comes easily, whether the thing handled is a lever, a patient's shoulder or a person being used. Only the dated laboratory sense, working with the hands in experiments, stands alone: he manipulated carefully at the bench.
