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) )

Basic descriptions and concepts - article by Dave Draper

Seems to be mostly books rather than online trials etc, e.g. Thomas Myers, but see his website for brief intro too


  • 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)


Could be anyone!


e.g. Treatment of proximal hamstring pain using active release technique (reg) applied to the myofascial meridians: a case report (Dr. Andreo Spina)

e.g. Ankle pain (chronic) with associated Low Back Pain - Bonnie Thompson

e.g. Recognizing Myofascial Pelvic Pain in the Female Patient with Chronic Pelvic Pain, (abstract only) Elizabeth A. Pastore, Wendy B. Katzman, 2012

e.g. Myofascial Low Back Pain (abstract only) - a review - Gerard A. Malanga, Eduardo J. Cruz Colon, 2010

e.g. Functional anatomy and pathophysiology of axial low back pain: disc, posterior elements, sacroiliac joint, and associated pain generators (can download full text) - Vora AJ, Doerr KD, Wolfer LR


  • Anatomy

Pics and info on MFSs on the force and form closure page here on Physio-Pedia


  • 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



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?
