The<unk>  (full name:<unk>  of mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MDT)) is a technique primarily used in physical therapy. It was developed in the late 1950s by New Zealand physical therapist Robin<unk>  (1931–2013). In 1981 he launched the concept which he called Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) – a system encompassing assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities. MDT categorises patients' complaints not on an anatomical basis, but subgroups them by the clinical presentation of patients.<unk>  exercises involve spinal extension exercises, as opposed to William flexion exercises, which involve lumbar flexion exercises.
