The McKenzie method (also MDT = Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) is a comprehensive method of care primarily used in physical therapy. New Zealand physical therapist Robin McKenzie, OBE (1931–2013)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robin Anthony McKenzie )〕 developed the method in the late 1950s. In 1981 he launched the concept which he called ''Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)'' – a system encompassing assessment (evaluation), diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities. MDT categorises patients' complaints not on an anatomical basis, but subgroups them by the clinical presentation of patients. The method is now taught worldwide. == Strategy == MDT uses primarily self treatment strategies, and minimises manual therapy procedures, with the McKenzie trained therapist supporting the patient with passive procedures only if an individual self treatment program is not fully effective. McKenzie states that self treatment is the best way to achieve a lasting improvement of back pain and neck pain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McKenzie method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
