Summary of background data: Intractable cervical radiculopathy secondary to stenosis or herniated nucleus pulposus is commonly treated with an anterior cervical decompression and fusion procedure (ACDF). However, there is little evidence in the literature that demonstrates the impact such surgery has on long term range of motion outcomes
Study Design: Prospective, non--‐experimental.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare cervical range of motion and patient reported outcomes in patients before and after a 1, 2 or 3 level ACDF.
Patient Sample: 46 patients.
Methods: Patients undergoing an ACDF for cervical radiculopathy had their cervical range …

Self-Management And Self-Management Support On Chronic Low Back Patients In Primary Care, Jennifer Kawi
Interdisciplinary Research Scholarship Day
- Chronic low back pain (CLBP) afflicts 28.5% of adults costing $100-200 billion dollars.
- In response, the Institute of Medicine (2011) strongly recommended self-management (SM) to engage patients to care for themselves adequately.
- Healthcare professionals are also urged to provide effective self-management support (SMS) to empower patient’s ability to self-manage.
- SM and SMS have shown success in improving other chronic disease outcomes; current knowledge base are insufficient in non-malignant CLBP
