In Low Back Disorders, Fourth Edition With HKPropel Access, internationally recognized low back specialist Stuart McGill, PhD, presents the research and applications of back anatomy, injury mechanisms, and biomechanics to build effective prevention and rehabilitation programs for patients or clients. Common misconceptions about pain and discomfort are addressed and corrected. Detailed insights into injury assessment are provided through a series of cutting-edge tests, with accompanying instructions, along with guidance and recommendations for individualized rehabilitation strategies and exercises. The fourth edition of Low Back Disorders now presents photos, illustrations, and graphs in full color to encourage a deep understanding of complex topics. The text includes access to 36 related video clips (19 of which are new to this edition) that illustrate key concepts from the text and guide readers in how to properly cue exercises and movements. With over 50 exercises and tests, patient assessment has been extensively enhanced with more information about provocative testing. The fourth edition has been updated with the latest evidence-based information and includes new sections on the following topics: The important role of fascia for efficient movement with minimal stress concentrations on vulnerable anatomical parts The benefits of choosing less stressful ways to move and reducing loading in the early stage of rehabilitation A bolstered assessment section with more tests to converge on a precise and specific understanding of the pain pathway The correct way to graduate from recovery to performance exercise Throughout the text, the author offers examples from everyday movements and activities to connect the mechanisms for low back pain to the clients and patients who present with these challenges. Learning aids such as checklists, sidebars, and a glossary help readers absorb and retain information. In addition to the video clips, 20 patient handouts that can be customized and printed out are available online via HKPropel Access. Low Back Disorders, Fourth Edition, begins by introducing the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the lumbar spine. It presents epidemiological studies on low back disorders and dispels common myths of lumbar spine stability. Part II reviews risk factors for low back disorders and common prevention methods, with specific attention paid to reducing workplace risk factors. Part III explains evaluating and diagnosing clients and developing exercise and rehabilitation programs. Specific exercises that are proven to enhance performance and reduce pain are also explained. Evidence-based research and cutting-edge application strategies from a leading spine specialist make Low Back Disorders, Fourth Edition, the authoritative text for the examination and rehabilitation of the low back. Its approach to back care will lead readers in developing intervention, rehabilitation, and prevention programs to address the unique needs of each patient or client.
