Diagnostic Approaches to Low Back Pain - Comparing Maitland, McKenzie and Movement Impairment Syndromes

 Students at Nottingham University are currently creating this page. Please check back in January 2014 to see the finished result.

 Suggested sections (please comment on):

• Definitions, concepts and any controversy (include links to other pathologies and their pages (e.g. generic LBP, fascia, PNF, etc) and descriptive videos (see below) )

• Relevance (i.e. functional tri-planar movement assessment and treatment, not uniplanar which is limited in functionality)

• Aietiology of patients (e.g. probs with gait, explosive movement, etc)

• Anatomy

• Clinical presentation / Characteristics

• Assessment techniques

• Differential diagnosis (? not sure if this is relevant as ATs are a theory of mechanism / rehab, not actually a pathology in themselves)

• Key research

• Further resources:
• Presentations:

Neuromuscular Anatomy: Function and Performance: http://www.arctraining.ca/picker/userData/functionalneuromuscularanatomy.pdf.pdf

• References

Suggested things to include (please add to): 

1. Case Study (A handball player with groin pain and back stiffness - Lea)
2. Videos explaining concepts (cartoon drawings and voice over)
3. Photo of us as a team!! Doing anatomy train postures/movements?
