Welcome back to a NEW season of PT Elevated where we are broadening our topics to include more researchers but still focusing on topics that you can use in your clinic every day. This season we will have some of our speakers as guests who will be live in-person at the EIM Align Conference this August 26-28 in Dallas, Texas.
Our first episode of season 3 welcomes Dr. Julie Treleaven who is a keynote speaker at our Align Conference this August! They will discuss the cervical Neck especially Sensory Motor control. Julie is a senior lecturer and researcher at the University of Queensland, part of the head and neck research unit. I looked at sensory motor control and whiplash for my PhD completed in 2004. I teach undergraduate and graduate spine courses.
They focus on sensory motor control for their discussion and what Julie will be talking about at the Align Conference and more!
Here are some of the highlights:
Julie discusses how important it is to understand why sensory motor control is important in the head and neck.
She discusses the difference tests that can be used to diagnose and find where a problem may be coming from and find out if the neck or head is involved or not.
We are understanding more how to assess patients to decide whether the head or neck is involved or not. She talks about how to handle joint restrictions and more!
Julie’s Align Session Preview – She will be going over the Clinical Assessment of Sensory Motor Control in the neck and tests that she thinks might be useful clinically to help differentiate if it is coming from the neck or the vestibular system. Then some ideas of how to integrate that into training for patients as well.
Julie’s Clinical Pearl – “Really think about your examination: what you are feeling, what you are seeing? Try not to rely so much on pain, then try to put it together, does it make sense? If it is not making sense then you probably have missed something or you need to assess if there is anything else you can look at. If it is making sense, then fantastic! Really just focusing on what you are feeling and seeing and if it is making sense.”
