Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise induced hypoalgesia is elicited by isometric, but not aerobic exercise in individuals with chronic whiplash associated disorders
TL;DR: This study showed that individuals with chronic WAD and mild to moderate pain and disability, and no evidence of dysfunctional CPM, demonstrated reduced pain sensitivity, both in the cervical spine and over the tibialis anterior following an isometric, timed wall squat exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation of a Clinical Decision Guide in the Diagnosis of Cervical Facet Joint Pain
Geoff Schneider,Gwendolen Jull,Kenneth Thomas,Ashley Smith,Carolyn A. Emery,Peter Faris,Chad Cook,Bevan Frizzell,Paul T. Salo +8 more
TL;DR: MSE, PST, and ER may be useful tests in identifying patients suitable for diagnostic facet joint blocks and further research is needed to validate the CDGs prior to their routine use in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological Factors and the Development of Chronic Whiplash-associated Disorder(s): A Systematic Review.
TL;DR: Poor expectations of recovery, posttraumatic stress symptoms and passive coping emerged as the most consistent prognostic factors of chronic neck pain and/or disability after a whiplash injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimizing the source of nociception and its concurrent effect on sensory hypersensitivity: An exploratory study in chronic whiplash patients
Geoff Schneider,Ashley Smith,Allen Hooper,Paul W. Stratford,Kathryn J Schneider,Michael Westaway,Bevan Frizzell,Lee E. Olson +7 more
TL;DR: The WAD group revealed decreased sensory hypersensitivity following a decrease in their primary source of pain stemming from the cervical zygapophyseal joints, and patients with chronic WAD showed evidence of widespread sensory hypers sensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrarater and Interrater Reliability of Select Clinical Tests in Patients Referred for Diagnostic Facet Joint Blocks in the Cervical Spine
Geoff Schneider,Gwendolen Jull,Kenneth Thomas,Ashley Smith,Carolyn A. Emery,Peter Faris,Kathryn J Schneider,Paul T. Salo +7 more
TL;DR: The standardized clinical tests exhibited moderate to substantial reliability in patients with axial neck pain referred for diagnostic facet joint blocks, and the incorporation of these tests into a clinical prediction model to screen patients before referral for diagnostic facets joint blocks is justified.
