Courses Overview
Part A - The Lumbar Spine
This 28-hour course introduces the theoretical aspects and concepts of the McKenzie System as it is applied to the musculoskeletal system. The focus of this course, which is the first in the McKenzie course series, is the assessment, classification and management of patients with complaints of low back, related leg symptoms and functional limitations.
In certain countries, all or some of the course is completed as online distance learning. This online component is usually completed prior to attending the teaching venue with an Instructor. In countries that don't utilise online distance learning, the full 28-hour course is completed onsite with an Instructor.
The principles of MDT and how they apply in the context of the biopsychosocial framework of managing patients with musculoskeletal pain and functional limitations will be a key focus. The participants will explore and extensively practice the MDT assessment, classification and management process through lectures, workshops, discussions, role plays and live patient assessments. The MDT classifications are described in detail and appropriate management plans are discussed, with emphasis on the use of patient self-treatment procedures and education. Indications for the use of clinician procedures will also be discussed and the procedures demonstrated and practiced.
Follow-up patient assessments will illustrate the reassessment process and allow participants to get a realistic feel and understanding of the impact of the MDT system on differing patient presentations over 2-3 treatment sessions.
The course will include an illustrated manual and complete reference list. Participants will also have access to videos of all procedures, the full reference list on the MII website and a voluntary self-assessment post-course quiz (English Only).
Course Goals
By participating fully with this course, a participant will be able to :
- Appropriately apply MDT to patients with lumbar spine symptoms, in the context of a biopsychosocial model of care.
- Distinguish between the MDT classifications, and provide appropriate management regimes for each of the classifications.
- Identify Drivers of Pain and Disability that may have implications for the management of patients and their outcomes.
- Identify when the application of clinician forces are required for the resolution of symptoms using MDT’s “progression of forces” concept.
- Assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic processes required to achieve the patient’s goals.
