MASTERCLASS
12 Received 2 July 2020; received in revised form 19 September 2020; accepted 1 December 2020
13 KEYWORDS Abstract
14 Hip; Background: There is considerable overlap between pain referral patterns from the lumbar
15 Lumbosacral region; disc, lumbar facets, the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), and the hip. Additionally, sciatic like symptoms
16 Probability theory; may originate from the lumbar spine or secondary to extra-spinal sources such as deep gluteal
17 Problem solving; syndrome (GPS). Given that there are several overlapping potential anatomic sources of symp-
18 Theoretical toms that may be synchronous in patients that have low back pain (LBP), it may not be realistic
19 that a linear deductive approach can be used to establish a diagnosis and direct treatment in
20 this group of patients.
21 Objective: The objective of this theoretical clinical reasoning model is to provide a framework
22 to help clinicians integrate linear and non-linear clinical reasoning approaches to minimize
23 clinical reasoning errors related to logically fallacious thinking and cognitive biases.
24 Methods: This masterclass proposes a hypothesis-driven and probabilistic approach that uses
25 clinical reasoning for managing LBP that seeks to eliminate the challenges related to using any
26 single diagnostic paradigm.
27 Conclusions: This model integrates the why (mechanism of primary symptoms), where (location
28 of the primary driver of symptoms), and how (impact of mechanical input and how it may
29 or may not modulate the patient’s primary complaint). The integration of these components
