info_outlineWelcome 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. Julia Treleaven who is a keynote speaker at our Align Conference this August. Julia is a senior lecturer and researcher at the University of Queensland in Australia and a part of the head and neck research unit. She has been researching whiplash and neck pain since 2000 and in 2004 completed her PhD focusing on the neck’s influence on sensorimotor control. She has continued her research in this area and now is also looking at the role of neck dysfunction in those with headache, dizziness and post-concussion due to concomitant whiplash-type injury. She has over 100 publications in this area, written several book chapters and is an author of the recent book “Management of neck disorders- an evidenced based approach.” Julia works part-time as a physiotherapist in a private practice managing patients such as those with, whiplash, cervicogenic dizziness and post-concussion syndrome.
They focus their discussion on sensorimotor control and what Julia's speaker discussion will be focusing on at the Align Conference and more!
Here are some of the highlights:
Julia discusses how important it is to understand why sensorimotor control is important in the head and neck.
She discusses the different tests that can be used to find and diagnose a problem and find out where it may be coming from and if the neck or head is involved or not.
Julia says today, "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!
Julia'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.
Julia'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."
