1. Common Pathologies of the Lumbar Spine
In this chapter, learners will recognize the more prevalent lumbar pathologies seen in musculoskeletal practice. One of the key goals is geared toward understanding the etiology behind each of the pathologies, and the prognosis of each pathology.
2. Pain and Disability Drivers of the Lumbar Spine
The primary pain and disability drivers for the lumbar spine include: 1) nociceptive pain elements, 2) neuropathic pain elements, 3) comorbidity pain and disability elements, 4) mood and cognitive pain and disability elements, and 5) social and environment factors that influence disability. Each of the domains specific to the lumbar spine is discussed.
3. Interventions Directed at Impairments and to the Joint Experiencing the Impairment
This chapter reviews the techniques used to target pain relief or strength specifically toward the region that is impaired within the lumbar spine. This chapter will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the local impairment classification.
4. Regional Interventions Directed at Structures That Mediate the Impaired Level
In this chapter, learners will review the adjunctive techniques used to target the primary impairment and secondary contributors. Learners will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the regional designation.
5. Global-Body or Whole-Person-Directed Interventions
Within this chapter, the focus is less on the impairment and more on motor control, proprioception, cognitions, behaviors, and whole-body conditioning. Learners will review techniques associated with lifestyle medicine, global management, and cognitive-behavioral approaches.
