More discussion on Functional Capacity Evaluations
Some years ago I wrote about Functional Capacity Evaluations and the lack of evidence supporting their use, particularly their use as predictive tools for establishing work “fitness”. I’ve received some sharp criticism in the past for my stance on FCE, and I continue to look for evidence that FCE are valid and reliable. I haven’t … Read more
Journal impact factors
If you’ve ever wondered about how well-connected and respected a journal is, journal impact factors claim to give you the answer. Theoretically, a “good” journal will be cited widely by others, and have authors clamouring to contribute to it. Of course, unpopular topics like chronic pain are trounced by their flashier cousins exploring things like … Read more
Patients Are Often More Engaged In Their Health Than Providers Think
Reblogged from Mind The Gap: Patients often don’t get the respect they deserve. Take the subject of patient engagement. Just about everywhere you turn in the health care literature these days we are told how physicians and other providers need to do a better job getting patients involved in their own health. But is that … Read more
Trust, teamwork and transparency
Teams are a feature of healthcare, and nowhere more so than in pain management. This is because, at least for chronic pain, no single profession can claim to have all the answers. Many of us know we need to rely on one another to address patient/client concerns and to provide a consistent approach for the … Read more
Living well with persistent pain – a problem solving model
Chronic pain is abnormal. Living well with chronic pain seems a myth, a bit of an impossibility. After all, chronic pain starts with the kind of pain that most people would expect to go away – acute pain. Acute pain is normal and most of us will experience some painful episode today. Acute pain goes … Read more
Nerdy, Sciency Stuff
The past three weeks have been a swirl of joyous, passionate neuro-nerdy stuff! And yes, it’s absolutely possible to call neuroscience joyous and passionate (just ask David Butler and the NOI crew). What have I learned? Let’s begin with the obvious: pain is an output of the brain. What does that mean? It means that … Read more
The Graded Motor Imagery Handbook – a review
I love getting presents, and I love books, so what could be better than getting a book to review as a present! Graded motor imagery (GMI) has become incredibly popular in pain management, especially for people with unilateral pain. It’s a treatment that is intensive for patients/participants, but is non-invasive, means the person with pain … Read more
Lorimer Moseley throws the gauntlet down!
This week I’ve been at the NOI Conference 2012 – a real blast! A week of neuroscience-backed biopsychosocial practice, and nerdy passions. My brain is nourished, in fact, it’s replete. And now to digest. Why the headline? Well, throughout the conference, over and over again I heard about physiotherapy and psychology – and nary a … Read more
How occupational engagement might work in pain management
Intuitively, most of us know that when we’re actively involved in doing something we either enjoy or is sufficiently complex enough to need attention, we can lose awareness of things like hunger, thirst – or pain. In the very early years of occupational therapy, this “distracting” factor of occupation was employed to good effect to … Read more
