Highlights
- •
The Mckenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) spinal classification system consists of three main MDT syndromes and the classification OTHER.
- •
In reliability studies, the 10 different classifications under OTHER (e.g. spinal stenosis, chronic pain syndrome) has always been grouped together as one classification.
- •
In a Dutch medical centre (Rugpoli) that provides secondary and tertiary level care, the prevalence of patients classified as OTHER is 63%.
- •
The results showed that the reliability between experienced, highly trained MDT clinicians of Rugpoli was almost perfect.
