  • Title: Clinical instability of the lumbar spine.
    Author: Pipher WL.
    Journal: J Manipulative Physiol Ther; 1990 Oct; 13(8):482-5. PubMed ID: 2146358.
    Abstract:
    Instability of the lumbar spine, as a clinical entity, is poorly understood. Clinical instability appears to be the symptomatic presentation during the degenerative phase that occurs between segmental dysfunction and segmental restabilization, as defined by Kirkaldy-Willis. A typical case of clinical instability of the lumbar spine is presented, along with suggested conservative therapy measures.
