Part 4- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy

Directional preference research: Wernecke et al. (2011) define directional preference as either (1) a specific direction of trunk movement or posture observed during the physical examination or (2) a specific aggravating or easing factor reported by the patient during the subjective history that alleviates or decreases the patient’s pain, with or without the pain moving or increasing the patient’s lumbar ROM. It is possible for … Continue reading Part 4- Evidence behind McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy

How Does the Combined Intervention of Sling Exercises and Vibrations Compare to Sling Exercises Alone in Managing Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain?

A recent study conducted by Kim et al. in 2022 focused on chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP), a common condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for many individuals. With the search for effective treatments ongoing, researchers have turned their attention to combining sling exercises with targeted vibration and oscillations using a device called the Vibraoscillator (VO). This randomized controlled trial aimed to … Continue reading How Does the Combined Intervention of Sling Exercises and Vibrations Compare to Sling Exercises Alone in Managing Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain?
