Trial of a Test - Low Back Pain

[neuromuscular]

hi
i feel the deviations can be quite normal .there are various structures which contribute to such deviations and detecting may be a bit time consuming .i doubt whether it is of any use

Try the test with hip abduction. the results are obvious. The information is the most objective.

The facts will speak for themselves.

Pelvic angles deviate little in those with no back pain.

Pelvic angles deviate greatly in those with back pain.

Your scepticism is similar to Andry Vleeming,whom I have spoken to, but who is pursuing the problematic SI joint. I feel the joint has little to do with it.

How many joints of the body are supposed as stuck as often as the SI joint? That should be a twig to our thinking that maybe something else is the problem.

Try the test and note your findings.

Great. I am sure of the test as it has been in use for 15 years and with over 1,000 patients The success rate of the therapy is quick and better than i have seen with any other hip assessment.

I've seen you propose this test numerous places on this site. Do you have any research regarding this test?

Sorry that I did not get back to you before this as I had an emergrncy appendectomy.

The test is being taken on by the OGI.

I know that many will find the thought of doing a test on the pelvic angles as unusual However, I was after the most objective nformation on the patient. I have found that muscle testing, no matter how thoroughly done or if a machine is used, is not as objective as I would like to see.


I have found that this test is accurate. however, getting to know how to read the test results and apply it in clinic will be the task for most who are new to this idea or test.

The important factor is to stresas the pelvis in an accurate, repeatable way that can be linked to the patients pain and problem.

When the OGI is done with the test results, the research paper will be generated.
I can say that the initial testing by the OGI is positive and that the test and therapy are holding up against other forms of testing and treatment.

I do see that this test will increase success rates for low back pain and hip pain.

Try the test and see what your results are in your patient load. I found it very accurate and showed how the patient responded to the specific stress generated by the hip abduction.

As for corroberating evidence, I have talked with Andry Vleeming, Ola Grimsby and others. There does not seem to be any research in this direction as most have not considered pelvic angles of significance. This may be because most have done the assessment at anatomical neutral footstance without hip abduction like Wendy Jardin of the Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., Canada.

Hope that this is helpful. I would be glad to give you any other information that you would wish.

My best to you,
