.JPG&w=300) In this glossary you will find an illustrative explanation of some keywords which are frequently used in research papers and, more general, in updated Orthopaedic Medicine Cyriax, as well as some summarized descriptions of certain clinical images and diagnostic procedures
General remark : sometimes I refer the reader to "Part I" and "Part II" for further information on that specific subject i.e. the two books "Orthopaedic Medicine Cyriax : updated value in daily practice, Part I and Part II "
I also refer to the interesting glossary of some other publications such as :
"Orthopaedic Medicine, a practical approach ; Kesson-Atkins, 2nd edition, Elsevier BH 2005" and
"The lumbar spine, mechanical diagnosis and therapy, volume one, McKenzie-May, Spinal publications New Zealand 2003"

Friction massage
This friction massage technique can be applied for muscular, tendinous and ligamentous lesions, in acute, subacute and chronic stages.

The structure has to regain its normal strength and flexibility.
It can also be used for differential diagnostic purposes !
