We undertook this study because we believe the McKenzie approach can be valuable to clinicians who treat patients with low back pain. The literature, however, suggests that an unacceptable amount of error exists when clinicians classify patients.1 Our hope in undertaking this study was to reduce some of this error. In the case of lateral shift assessment, we believed that the most sound way of reducing unacceptable error was by modifying the procedures used to obtain the measurements.

The Conference discussed two key issues that we will address. These issues were the need for operational definitions and the effect of symptom duration on lateral shift assessment.

We recognized that McKenzie2 stated in his book that patients with lateral shifts may have a unilateral limitation in side gliding. We viewed the assessment of unilateral side-gliding motion loss, however, as problematic....
