Abstract
The top-down evaluation that we recommend has the advantage of completing physical therapy in a short time, and it can clarify the relationship between disability and impairment. In order to perform a top-down evaluation, a basic knowledge and understanding of the relationship between motion and physical function is necessary. However, many relationships between the two are not fully understood, and we feel that this is a limitation of top-down evaluation. In such cases, we need to perform a case study to build a new theory. In this paper, we introduce the process of building a new theory in the analysis of a case of low back pain in which top-down evaluation was difficult.
