Low back disorders: evidence-based prevention and rehabilitation.
Author: McGill, Stuart Published: 2002 Low back disorders provides professionals with the foundation to make the best clinical decisions for building the best prevention and rehabilitation programmes. The author's unique research results quantify forces that specific movements and exercises impose on the low back, and identify commonly prescribed practices that are, in fact, contraindicated in promoting back health. Part I provides a solid foundation on how the back works and how it becomes injured; part II shows how this foundation may be used to build evidence-based prevention programmes; and part III focuses on improving rehabilitation techniques and quantification of spine stability. |
