The fall of the postural-structural-biomechanical model in manual and physical therapies: exemplified by lower back pain.
نویسنده
چکیده
Manual and physical therapists often use a postural-structural-biomechanical (PSB) model to ascertain the causes of various musculoskeletal conditions. It is believed that postural deviations, body asymmetries and pathomechanics are the predisposing/maintaining factors for many musculoskeletal conditions. The PSB model also plays an important role in clinical assessment and management, including the choice of manual techniques and the exercise prescribed. However, the most important question is consistently being ignored--can a person's physical shape/posture/structure/biomechanics be the cause of their lower back pain?

Is a postural-structural-biomechanical model, within manual therapies, viable?: A JBMT debate.
In recent years, a number of leading thinkers within manual and physical therapies have questioned traditional models of care. Professor Eyal Lederman DO PhD is one such critic, of what he has termed the postural-structural-biomechanical (PSB) model. Using low back pain as a focus he has asserted that the PSB model is not viable e in fact that there is no reliably proven relationship between lo...

Background: Poor balance performance and impaired postural control have been frequently reported in patients with low back pain. However, postural control is rarely monitored during the course of treatment even though poor postural control may contribute to chronicity and recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of a nonextensible lumbosacral orth...
