Regional Interdependence[edit | edit source]
- Regional interdependence is the concept that a musculoskeletal treatment targeting a specific area of the body could have effects in another, seemingly unrelated, part of the body[1].
- Examples of Regional Interdependence:
- Elbow
- Shoulder
Examination[edit | edit source]
Screen patient for red flags[2]
Condition | Red Flags |
Back-related tumor |
|
Cauda equina syndrome |
|
Back-related infection |
|
Spinal compression fracture |
|
Abdominal aneurysm |
|
Physical Impairment Measures[2]
- Evaluate Thoraco-Lumbar Active and Passive ROM
- Segmental Mobility
- Pain Provocation with Segmental Mobility Testing
- Judgments of Centralization during Movement Testing
- Look for a centralization of pain with repeated motion in a specific direction.
- Prone Instability Test
- Judgments of the presence of aberrant movement
- Straight Leg Raise
- Slump Test
- Trunk Muscle Power and Endurance
- Passive Hip Internal Rotation, External Rotation, Flexion, and Extension
- Mental Impairment Measures
- Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire
Also consider Hip Examination
- Active and Passive ROM
- Joint Mobility
- Strength
Interventions[edit | edit source]
In the articles reviewed, the following interventions were found to be beneficial in the treatment of low back pain.
Thoracic Spine[3][edit | edit source]
Manipulation
- Supine Thoracic Posterior to Anterior HVLA Manipulation
Hip[4][5][6][7][8][edit | edit source]
Manipulation
- Supine Long Axis Distraction HVLA Manipulation
Mobilizations
- Supine Hip Caudal Glide Mobilization
- Prone Hip Posterior to Anterior Mobilization
- Hip Posterior to Anterior Mobilization with Flexion, Abduction, and External Rotation
- Hip Anterior to Posterior Mobilization with Flexion, Adduction, and Internal Rotation
- Hip Mobilization Physiopedia Page
Therapeutic Exercise
- Strengthening
- Hip Abduction with slight extension and internal rotation
- Flexibility
- Supine Iliopsoas Stretch
- Prone Rectus Femoris Stretch

Clinical Implications
[edit | edit source]
- Utilizing manual therapy interventions targeted at the hip and thoracic spine along with therapeutic exercise has been shown to provide improved outcomes for patients with low back pain. Clinicians should consider these interventions along with treatments focused on the low back to treat the entire patient and achieve improved results. Additional information can be found in the references listed below.
