Functional Rehabilitation
Finding a key link is a result of a thorough analysis of the entire locomotor system. Karel Lewit says, „I don‚t touch a patient until I have examined everything. I want to know what is the relevant chain. I begin with a general picture, not a single lesion.‰ We begin our search with a complete history of the pain location, onset, aggravating and ameliorating factors, and lifestyle or occupational repetitive strains. Following this is an examination by palpation and inspection. Our goal with this examination is to identify both the anatomical sources of pain and the biomechanical defi cits or impairments related to pain.

Palpation of soft tissue (skin, fascia, tendons and ligaments), muscle length, joint mobility, along with inspection of posture, gait, respiration, and stereotypical movement patterns leads to the emergence of a picture of the patient‚s major functional disturbance. Our goal is to look for a connection between the dysfunctions and the functional pathologies. Then depending on the history and examination a connection can be made. This clinical hypothesis must be checked with treatment and post-treatment evaluations.
