Course description:

The introductory course consists of lectures and related research about movement system syndromes of the lumbar spine. Participants will be required to have a basic understanding of the kinesiopathologic principles, as presented in the Lower Quarter Foundation Webinars. Specific syndromes of the lumbar spine will be described in the course lecture. The systematic examination for an individual with low back pain is available to study prior to the course in the pre-recorded videos, and the specific tests will be demonstrated with live subjects during the course. Systematic examination as well as the relationships of the specific test results to the diagnosis and treatment program will be described. The role of the hip as a contributing factor to lumbar spine dysfunction will be discussed. Participants will be able to interact with the presenters and participate in smaller breakout rooms to practice skills in examination and diagnosis.

Course objectives:

1. Describe the kinesiopathological model, concepts and principles of movement system syndromes.
2. Describe the adaptations of muscle, nerve, and bone associated with repeated movements and sustained alignments.
3. Describe the concepts of relative flexibility, relative stiffness / active and passive muscle tension, and motor learning as determinants of the path of least resistance which is associated with changes in precision of movement.
4. Understand the importance of a systematic examination which includes specific movement tests and task analysis.
5. Recognize provocative alignment and movement patterns of the lumbar spine.
6. Identify the interaction of the hip and lumbar spine.
7. Recognize movement system syndromes associated with painful conditions of the lumbar spine.
8. Be able to identify the contributing factors to the lumbar spine movement system syndrome.
9. Describe how the results of the examination guide the development of a treatment program with an emphasis on task performance.
