Combined movement examination (CME) of the human lumbar spine attempts to mimic functional movement patterns In persons with low back pain and Isolate structures which may be responsible for movement related symptoms.
The thesis investigates: the validation and reliability of 3-D computer-assisted CME; reports a normal reference range or 192 cases; advances preliminary evidence or signature movement patterns suggestive or specific lumbar pathologies, and promotes the role of CME in clinical reasoning for both assessment and treatment or mechanical low back pain.
