Mckenzie Extension Exercises

Mckenzie extension exercise

Mckenzie suggested that all spinal pain can be attribbuted to alteration of the position of the disc’s nucleus pulposus, in relationship to the surrounding annulus; mechanical deformation of the soft tissue about the spine which has undergone adaptive shortening; or mechanical deformation of soft tissue caused by postural stress.

(디스크 움직임의 결과로 통증이 온다고 봄. 디스크의 문제. 자세 스트레스로 인한 근단축, 구조적 변형.)

  • Mckenzie concluded that a continually flexed lifestyle may cause the nucleus to migrate more posteriorly, resulting in low back pain.

  • Moreover, these anomalies of the lumbar spine are largely due to our modern lifestyle and “an almost universal loss of extension” 요즘 세상이 굽히니까.

  • Postural Syndrome

  • L1-5 / 틀어진 자세가 mechanical pain 유발

  • Dysfunction Syndrome

  • Thrust. 교정. alignment가 깨짐

  • Derangement Syndrome

  • Disc.

Postural Syndrome

  • the result of prolonged postures or positions that can affect joint surfaces, muscles or tendons. 오랜기간 한자세로 길게 ⇒ 관절면, 근육, 힘줄에 영향

  • Pain may be local and reproducible when end range position, such as slouching, are maintained for sustained periods of time. 구부정한 자세로 지속적 유지

  • Repeated movements do not change symptoms in postural syndrome patients.

  • Mechanical deformation

Dysfunction Syndrome

  • It impiles some sort of adaptive shortening, scarring or adherence of connective tissue(soft tissue) causeing discomfort or pain. 결합조직의 변형으로 인해 통증

  • A dysfunction may be intermittent or chronic, but its hallmark is a consistent movement loss and pain at the end range of movement. 인대나 건이 뼈를 끌고감.

Derangement Syndrome

  • It is the most common syndrome that presents clinically.

  • When certain movements are performed, such as a flexion and/or extension (bending or straightening) the symptoms become either more central or less intense.

  • This is a disruption in the normal articulation of a joint, it can produce distal or local pain, there is loss of movement.

INCREASED LUMBAR LORDOSIS

Disc conceptual model - Flexion

  • Zygapophyseal joint(Facet jt.) sulfaces distract

  • Anterior loading of the intervertebral disc occurs compression of the anterior portion, with relaxation and bulging of the outer anterior annular wall.

  • the posterior annular wall is stretched and pulled taut.

  • the nucleus distorts posteriorly.

Disc conceptual model - Extension

  • Zygapophyseal joint(Facet jt.) sulfaces compress

  • Posterior loading of the intervertebral disc occurs with distriction of the anterior portion of the annulus, which is stretched and pulled taut.

  • the posterior annular wall is relaxed and there is posterior bulging of the outer, posterior annular wall.

  • the nucleus distorts anteriorly.

Centralization & Periphralization

  • Centralization

  • Dicribes the phenomenon in which limb pain emanating from the spine is progressively abolished in a distal to proximal direction in response to therapeutic loading strategies, with each progressive symptom change being retained over time. If back pain only is present this is reduced and then abolished.

  • Peripheralization

  • Describes the phenomenon by which pain emanating from the spine spreads distally into or further into the limb as a result loading strategies. If pain is produced in the limb, spreads distally or increases distally and remains worse the loading strategy should be avoided.
