Early Post-Immobilization Pain At Rest, Movement Evoked Pain, And Their Ratio As Potential Predictors Of Pain And Disability At Six- And 12-Months After Distal Radius Fracture, Maryam Farzad, Joy C. Mcdermid, Saurabh Mehta, Ruby Grewal, Erfan Shafiee

Physical Therapy Faculty Research

Background: Removal of immobilization is a critical phase of distal radius fracture (DRF) rehabilitation, typically occurring by 2 months post injury. This study examined the extent to which pain at rest (PAR), movement evoked pain (MEP), or the ratio between those (MEPR) assessed at 2-months after DRF predicts the occurrence of chronic pain or disability at 6- and 12-months after the injury.

Methods: This secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study was done at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre (HULC), London, Ontario, Canada. A total of 229 patients with DRF (159 (69.4%) women) were included. Scores for the pain …

Head And Trunk Movement Responses In Healthy Children To Induced Versus Self-Induced Lateral Tilt, Donnalee Milette, Rose Marie Rine

Physical Therapy Faculty Research

The purpose of our study was to determine head and trunk movement responses that occur in healthy 7-year-old children during induced and self-induced lateral tilt. Twenty subjects, while tailor sitting on a tiltboard, participated in three trials of both induced and self-induced left and right lateral displacements. Measurements of neck and trunk lateral flexion; trunk counterrotation; and neck, trunk, and body anterior-posterior movement were obtained from slide transparencies made at three stages of tilt (original position, initial tilt, and full tilt). For each subject in the two test conditions, changes in these measurements between the stages of tilt were determined …
