Title: Effect of MDT in the recruitment of trunk muscles
Principal Investigator: Paulo H Ferreira, PT, PhD
Affiliation: University of Sydney, Lidcombe Australia

Abstract:
Low back pain causes a great impact on individuals and societies as a whole. The effects of conservative treatments for low back pain have been reported as moderate. It is argued that mechanisms of treatment need to be better understood so that management is more fruitful. Mechanical diagnosis therapy and motor control exercises appear to be conceptually different with direct impact on health utilization. While mechanical diagnosis therapy provides patients with a self management strategy, motor control exercises are highly dependent on therapists’ feedback of exercise performance.
