Noted in this study was that the conventional physical therapy group scored significantly better than the control group. Significantly greater scores on their functional outcome measures than those that performedĬonventional physical therapy exercise or those in the control group. The study discovered that those patients who were classified into the MDT “responders” group had The remainder of the patients were placed into the control group and received no treatment. 59 wereĬlassified as MDT non-responders and were givenĬonventional evidenced-based physical therapy exercises. Of the 180 patients,Ĥ0 were classified as MDT responders and were given directional preference exercises. Patients with knee OA who planned to undergo Through this study, researchers observed 180 Is the first to look at MDT’s ability in assessing It has been thoroughly studied in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal pathologies. MDT was primarily developed by The Mckenzie Institute. MDT RESEARCHĪ first of its kind research article has been published recently in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy regarding the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) with MDT. Using the MDT assessment algorithm, patients are powerfully classified into specified subgroups of derangement, articular dysfunction, or contractile dysfunction based on movement characteristics. Chemically induced pathologies are associated with painful chemicals in tissue, especially with an accompanying inflammatory process. Mechanical symptoms are differentiated from chemical symptoms, which chemical symptoms have been estimated to make up ~15% of orthopedic conditions. Examples of mechanical pathologies would include strained or sprained soft tissue, abnormal adaptive tightness, scar tissue, obstruction from herniated discs, ligamentous tears, or the like. Mechanical pathologies account for ~80% of orthopedic conditions. MDT therapy is a specific assessment and treatment algorithm that uses coordinated movement patterns to classify and improve mechanical derangements andĭysfunctions. It is often referred to in orthopedic physical medicine literature. MDT is an acronym that represents “mechanical diagnosis and treatment”.
