| 13.30 | Pelvic Girdle Pain: Diagnostics, Risk Factors and Motor Control Colleen Fitzgerald and Britt Stuge |
| This session will focus on diagnostics, risk factors and motor control in patients with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). PGP is a global problem affecting many people worldwide and is speculated in many cases to be a differential diagnosis of LBP. The diagnostic criteria and source of pain is debated, and no gold standard for examination exists. There is, however, evidence for different sub-groups of PGP. Altered motor control patterns could potentially create a mechanism for PGP by abnormally loading pain sensitive pelvic structures. Motor control patterns in subjects with PGP have been examined in recent studies and patterns of bracing through the abdominal wall and the chest wall have been associated with increased intra-abdominal pressure and depression of the pelvic floor. The anatomy and the function of the pelvic floor muscles are complex and there is a need to study the role of the pelvis floor in PGP. An understanding of the pathogenesis is necessary when designing and studying treatment programs. Of importance is also an understanding of risk factors associated with PGP. Several risk factors for PGP have been suggested but so far the evidence has been weak. New studies have however examined potential risk factors such as clinical, hormonal and psychosocial aspects. |

| 08.00 | Cognitive aspects of treatment of lumbopelvic pain: Thinking about thoughts. Paul Watson& Paul Hodges |
|
Over the past decade and a half there has been an explosion of research into how cognitive factors, attitudes and beliefs can influence movement, response to therapy and the development of chronic incapacity in people with musculoskeletal conditions. Although many factors have been identified, in particular catastrophising (fearing the worst outcome), fear avoidance and depressed mood have been repeatedly demonstrated to influence outcome from back pain, there is less clear cut evidence that this knowledge has resulted in better treatments. |

During the last decades, many randomized controlled trials have been conducted and published on treatments for non-specific low back pain. The results of these trials have been summarized in a large number of systematic reviews. Recently, the evidence from trials and reviews has formed the basis for clinical practice guidelines on the management of low back pain that have been developed in various countries around the world. |

| 08.00 | Connective tissue matters: The role of fascia in the generation and treatment of low back pain. Moderators: Robert Schleip / Leon Chaitow |
| While muscular envelopes and related soft connective tissues (fasciae) escaped medical interest for several decades as the ‘Cinderella of orthopedic research', recent developments revealed their surprising significance in human biomechanics and neurophysiology. Rather than dissecting ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, retinaculae and muscular envelopes as functionally separate entities, this session attempts to understand the dynamics of all muscular connective tissues, the tensional properties of which contribute to low back stability. These fascial structures are part of a body wide network system, which adapts its morphology to local loading & movement demands. The load bearing function of lumbodorsal fasciae has been shown to be particularly important during lumbar flexion. Increasing evidence suggests that micro injuries and related inflammatory effects of these tissues may be a common factor involved in at least some cases of low back pain. This raises important questions that impact directly on therapeutic choices: How are these fascial tissues innervated? What role do they play in healthy proprioception? And how does the central nervous system (and/or autonomic nervous system) regulate stiffness, water content and sensory sensitivity of those fascial structures? Recent advances in ultrasound imaging and immuno-histochemistry have already been helpful in the examination of these questions. They also promise to shed new light on the benefits and limits of manual modalities and tool assisted therapies, which aim at altering fascial function. An evidence oriented review of such therapies will be attempted, including complementary as well as surgical approaches which focus on the treatment of fascial structures involved in low back stability and pain. |

| On October 13th of 2009, the field of orthopedics lost one of its most innovative contributors and the co-founder of this congress. For most, the pathway from beginning to end is unremarkable - yet for some it is more than remarkable. Vert Mooney's life was surely the latter. In his life as a scholar his consistent characteristic was his deep and abiding curiosity for life and its workings. His work ethic was astounding-more than 225 peer-review articles, and his keen understanding of the importance of bridge building permitted him to genuinely see differing points of view and bring about satisfactory compromise. His presence and intellect will surely be missed, but more importantly so will his compassionate and gentle spirit." | |

Plenary session main ball room |
| The benefits of sport and exercise on general health are well documented. There is however an increased risk of injury with every episode of strenuous exercise, but the risks are generally outweighed by the benefits. In the context of sporting competition, both at recreational and elite levels, low back pain accounts for 15-20% of all injuries across a variety of popular team sports. As professionals involved in the prescription of exercise for therapeutic, well being and fitness purposes, it is necessary to be aware of the importance of the lumbo-pelvic region functional requirements to transfer load safely and effectively. In a sports team or occupational setting the prevention of injuries depends initially on epidemiological data and analysis of the possible causes of a particular type of injury. Only then specific strategies can be trialed for effectiveness. This session will open with a provocative address by one of our invited speakers -Craig Liebenson- who will look into the dangers and pitfalls of indiscriminate exercise and training. This will be followed by John Mayer, who worked with Vert Mooney in his last scientific study, on strength parameters of a professional group -firefighters- that requires both aerobic fitness and strength to ensure well being in a physically challenging work environment. The involvement of the hip joint in lumbo-pelvic patients has not had the profile it deserves. Heidi Prather's studies on hip range of motion in female soccer players will provide interesting data for a lively discussion; is the hip involvement important in all players, or only females are affected? Finally, Trish Wisbey-Roth, an experienced Australian sports physiotherapist will look at the integrated approach to the rehabilitation of injured athletes/patients with lumbo-pelvic dysfunction to normalize daily activities and eventually peak athletic performance. |

| 15.15 | Motor Control: Can motor control be rehabilitated. Moderators: Paul Hodges &Paul Watson |
| This session will provide a state-of-the-art view of spine control and its relationship to low back pain. Spine control is complex and involves consideration of a range of elements from sensation to strategies of muscle control. Many opinions on spinal control are developing around the world and there is increasing confusion, particularly amongst the clinical professions, regarding how different models diverge and converge. This confusion has the potential to compromise the development and application of such theories to the management of patients with spinal pain. A summit meeting was held in Australia (hosted by CCRE SPINE) to bring together world leaders in the field to discuss the complexity of the problem and the differing opinions. This session includes five experts from that meeting and will provide a summary of critical issues in the understanding of spine control and its relevance for low back pain. This session will identify the common themes amongst the different models of spinal control, discuss the areas of divergence of opinion, and the relevance of these for rehabilitation of low back pain. | |
