Purpose[edit | edit source]
To describe and demonstrate the supine lumbopelvic manipulation technique used in the Flynn et al study in developing a clinical prediction rule for the use of this technique in low back patients.
Technique[edit | edit source]
- Patient lies relaxed in a supine position.
- Therapist stands on opposite of the side to be manipulated.
- Patient’s legs are crossed over each other, opposite leg over the other.
- The therapist faces towards the patient’s feet and stabilizes along opposite hip with elbow while side bending legs away from therapist.
- Patient is asked to clasp fingers together and place hands behind neck.
- The therapist then faces patient’s face and stabilizes along opposite (same as step 4) hip with elbow and places hands behind patient’s back by the shoulder blades.
- The therapist sidebends patient’s upper body away, while simultaneously rotates towards.
- Therapist then places opposite palmar hand along opposite ASIS to keep pelvis stabilized and locks elbow.
- Therapist places other hand along shoulder blade and continues to rotate patient’s upper body towards to engage restrictive barrier.
- As end-range barrier is sensed, therapist applies a high velocity low amplitude through the ASIS towards treatment table.
