Book Description

ISBN-10: 0721668372 | ISBN-13: 978-0721668376 | Publication Date: January 5, 1998 | Edition: 2

The 2nd Edition of this unique book examines the functional anatomy of the lower back. From this perspective, it develops a system for evaluating the origins of mechanical low back pain, and recommends steps for developing safe, active rehabilitation programs. Beautifully illustrated and easy-to-use, the text cohesively integrates kinesiology, biomechanics, and anatomy with pain therapy. This edition includes more clinical applications, an algorithm of care for managing low back pain, specific methods to train abdominal and trunk extensor mechanisms, and a new section on teaching the patient self-management strategies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Machanical Low Back Pain : Perspectives in Functional Anatom, April 24, 2000

Victor Verhage (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mechanical Low Back Pain: Perspectives in Functional Anatomy, 2e (Hardcover)

A very good technical read with lots of powerful detail. A must have for those looking at the human body as a complete system, and how low back pain may be the result of something in a persons foot, ankle, knee, hip, or other joint that all ties into the functional anatomy.
