-- Chris Worsfold --
Learning Objectives:
- Why is neck pain often recurrent and episodic in nature?
- What can you do to speed up recovery and prevent recurrence in your patients?
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the signs and symptoms of sensorimotor impairment in neck pain
- Explain why clinical tests for proprioception of the neck are not specific tests of cervical afferent function
- Describe the three main approaches to optimising sensorimotor function in neck pain
- Describe ways to progress sensorimotor training in neck pain
- Describe the muscle morphological and functional (eg timing, EMG amplitude) changes that are associated with neck pain.
- Describe four evidence-based tests of muscle performance in neck pain
- Describe ways to add multiplanar resistance to the neck in rehabilitation
