详细描述
The objective in this study is to determine the predictive validity of a set of special clinical tests in identifying those who will respond to lumbar traction. The central hypothesis of this pilot study is that a cluster of lumbopelvic stress tests will be able to identify a subgroup of patients with low back pain who will respond favorably to mechanical lumbar traction. If these clinical tests can identify a subgroup of patients with low back pain who respond favorably to lumbar traction, additional studies, including randomized clinical trials will be necessary to further test and validate the use of this cluster of clinical tests. The rationale for this research is to examine the connection between provocative lumbar compression testing and lumbar traction as a means of decompression
