How do different endurance exercises affect chronic low-back pain management?

In 2014, a study conducted by Mbada, et. al., which explains about Chronic low-back pain, particularly Long-term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP), poses significant challenges to patients’ physical abilities and overall quality of life. In a groundbreaking study, Nigerian researchers explored how different exercise regimens, combined with the McKenzie Protocol (MP), impact Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in LMLBP patients. The study, a single-blind controlled trial, … Continue reading How do different endurance exercises affect chronic low-back pain management?

Part 5- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy

In this blog, which is part of a series dedicated to the McKenzie method, I discussed the scientific basis for mechanical diagnosis and therapy for the lumbar spine. The first section of these series dealt with the McKenzie overview approach, the second with evidence regarding evaluation and prognosis, the third with evidence addressing management, and the fourth with research on direction preference and centralization. In … Continue reading Part 5- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy

Part 3- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy

Evidence in Support of Management The randomised controlled trial is the optimal study design for evaluating therapy efficacy, with systematic reviews used to analytically summarise this evidence. Several systematic reviews have investigated the efficacy of exercise in general for back pain, with some including an analysis of McKenzie trials and others focusing particularly on the McKenzie technique. Belanger et al. (1991) discovered three scientifically admissible’ … Continue reading Part 3- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy
