Movement, stability & lumbopelvic pain : integration of research and therapy

The human pelvis has become a focus for a considerable amount of new research, which is relevant to manual therapy practice. In particular, movement within the pelvis is now being recognized and studied in relation to its role in maintaining stability in the vertebral column and subsequent implications for the prevention and treatment of low back pain. This important subject area is covered in depth in this new edition. The contributors represent the breadth of professionals involved in manual therapy, from osteopathy, chiropractic and manual physical therapy, to orthopaedic medicine and surgery, anaesthesia and pain control Content: Copyright , Page iv Contributors , Pages viii-ix , MA Adams, PJ Barker, M Benjamin, CA Briggs, L Chaitow, J Cholewicki, HJ Dananberg, L Danneels, C DeRosa, PF Dijkstra, P Dolan, RL DonTigny, S Gibbons, W Gilleard, S Gracovetsky, PW Hodges, S Holm, B Hungerford, A Huson, A Indahl, et al.

Back function has recently been studied from a broader perspective, including the analysis of the coupled function in spine, pelvis and legs. These approaches lead to new questions about dynamic stability and motor control in general, and specifically about the spine and pelvis. These new insights obviously imply new approaches in the prevention and treatment of low back pain and pelvic pain. Unique to this book is its in-depth coverage of this subject area by a team of international contributors who represent the broad range of professionals involved in clinical research and therapy. These experts cover a vast area of lumbopelvic experience, from effective treatment and rehabilitation to epidemiology, anatomy, biomechanics, pain and motor control, surgery and manual therapy.
