  • James Cyriax (1904 - 1985) fue un traumatólogo y ortopeda británico quien definió algunos de los puntos claves del diagnóstico y tratamiento moderno en el campo de la ortopedia. Basó su trabajo en tres fundamentos: * Todo dolor proviene de una lesión. * Todo tratamiento debe llegar a la lesión. * Todo tratamiento debe producir un efecto beneficioso sobre la lesión. Realizó esta labor en el St.Thomas´s Hospital y en el St.Andrew´s de Londres. Destacó principalmente por su concepción de la valoración clínica basada en un exhaustivo estudio de la anatomía y la fisiopatología, lo que supuso una auténtica revolución en este campo, que hasta la década de 1930-1940 se había limitado en gran parte a enfocar los tratamientos de una manera empírica y tradicionalista. En el ámbito de la terapéutica, sus escritos aún perduran en nuestros días en concreto por sus aportaciones sobre la infiltración, la manipulación y el masaje transverso profundo (técnica que se conoce hoy en todo el mundo como "Cyriax", en honor a su creador). Su obra más importante es "Ortopedia Clínica" y en ella, entre otras cosas, defiende el rol de la fisioterapia y el fisioterapeuta en el tratamiento conservador de patología músculo-esquelética, sobre todo en el campo del masaje y las manipulaciones. su difundido estudio constituyó en su momento uno de los principales valedores para la aceptación y generalización de la práctica de la fisioterapia en el campo de la ortopedia en el mundo occidental.

  • James Henry Cyriax (27 October 1904 – 17 June 1985) was a British medical doctor known as the "father of orthopedic medicine." His work is influential in the areas of sports medicine and physical therapy. The son of two doctors, he qualified for membership and licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1929 and was appointed house surgeon of orthopedic surgery at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, where he worked for 40 years. He went on to develop a system of clinical exams to diagnose and treat soft tissue lesions, indicated by assessing body movements; this was his most well-known contribution to medicine. In 1943, he earned the for his essay on the pathology and treatment of elbow sprains. He founded the and later the Cyriax Foundation, which has since shut down, to promote orthopedic medical education. He was appointed a Member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1954. Later in his career, he was a visiting professor at the University of Rochester in the United States. He was considered a controversial figure during his lifetime both for his personality and his views on medicine. Cyriax developed a series of simple objective clinical exams that would effectively diagnose soft tissue musculoskeletal lesions. His collected results, after many years of trial and error, coalesced into a set of systematic simple clinical exams for each joint and a treatment system for the soft tissue lesions around each joint. Cyriax's Rule states that pain with both active range of motion and passive range of motion in the same direction points to inert tissue dysfunction (ligament, capsular, cartilage). Pain with active range of motion in one direction and pain with passive range of motion in the opposite direction signal contractile tissue dysfunction. Cyriax's papers are held at the Wellcome Library. (en)
