Call for research:

The International MDT Research Foundation (IMDTRF) is calling for quality research applications examining the benefits and limitations of the MDT system as it relates to rehabilitation. MDT or Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy is an assessment and classification system for musculoskeletal problems that targets treatment recommendations. The system was created by Robin McKenzie (1931 – 2013), a New Zealand physiotherapist. In MDT, patient active self-care and empowerment are essential to the management interventions used. Further information on MDT can be found at the website of McKenzie Institute International www.mckenzieinstitute.org.
