The purpose of this survey was to identify the percentage of patients with spine pain who can be classified by McKenzie-trained faculty as having one of either derangement, dysfunction, or postural syndromes.
McKenzie Institute International faculty members in 20 countries, who are highly trained and are experienced users of the classification system, recorded details on 15 consecutively discharged patients.
Responses were received from 57 therapists in 18 countries (89% of potential sample), and details were collected on 607 patients with spine pain. Eighty-three percent were classified in one of the mechanical syndromes; derangement was the most common syndrome. Therapists recorded a mechanical classification in a mean of 82% (SD, 15.1; range, 44%-100%) of their patients with spine pain.
For this study, the McKenzie mechanical syndromes were commonly diagnosed in a large consecutive group of patients at multiple sites by experienced therapists. This classification system may have valuable clinical use in managing patients with spine pain.
本调查旨在确定经麦肯齐方法培训的专业人员判定患有紊乱、功能障碍或姿势综合征之一的脊柱疼痛患者的百分比。
来自20个国家的麦肯齐国际研究所专业人员，他们训练有素且是该分类系统的经验丰富使用者，记录了15例连续出院患者的详细信息。
收到了来自18个国家57名治疗师的回复（占潜在样本的89%），并收集了607例脊柱疼痛患者的详细信息。83%的患者被归类为机械综合征之一；紊乱是最常见的综合征。治疗师记录其脊柱疼痛患者中有82%（标准差为15.1；范围为44%-100%）被进行了机械分类。
在本研究中，经验丰富的治疗师在多个地点对一大组连续的患者普遍诊断出了麦肯齐机械综合征。该分类系统在管理脊柱疼痛患者方面可能具有重要的临床应用价值。
