Abstract Review




UBCC to Offer World Renown CE course for Chiropractors - Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities and Other Neurobehavioral Disorders of Childhood

(UBCC) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism and Learning Disabilities may seem to be distinctly different and complex issues. In fact, many of the elements of these and other behavioral disorders of childhood have, as a common root, a deficit in sensory motor integration. From the very beginning of life, a child’s responses to the world around them are a direct result of the sensory information received and how it is processed, integrated and translated into movement.

This 50 hour, 2 part certificate program will cover the development of the brain and the genesis of neurobehavioral disorders. The course will explore the relationships of all facets of learning and behavioral disorders to clinical practice. Detailed strategies for diagnosing evolving disorders will be discussed, leading to specific treatment protocols. The program will include treatment plan development as well as appropriate documentation generation. The program integrates the most current materials available in a problem oriented mode of learning with an emphasis on clinical application.

If you are a clinician who wishes to make a difference in his / her service to humankind then we invite you to apply for admission to our program.

The Short-Term Effects of Joint Mobilizations on Acute Mechanical Low Back Dysfunction in Collegiate Athletes
The Short-Term Effects of Joint Mobilizations on Acute Mechanical Low Back Dysfunction in Collegiate Athletes. Hanrahan S, Van Lunen BL, Tamburello M, Walker ML. J Athl Train. 2005 Jun;40(2):88-93.

Context

Although a variety of theories and studies have been cited to support the use of joint mobilization in the spine as an integral part of the treatment and rehabilitation process, information about the short-term effects of joint mobilization on acute low back injury with respect to patient pain and strength changes has been limited.Objective: To examine the short-term effects of grade 1 and 2 posteroanterior joint mobilizations at the lumbar spine on subject pain and muscle force after an episode of acute, mechanical low back pain.Design: Group (2) by time (2 or 3).Setting: Athletic training clinic.Patients or Other Participants: Male collegiate athletes (n = 19) with mechanical low back pain as assessed through a standardized evaluation were randomly assigned to a control (n = 10) or experimental (n = 9) group.Intervention(s): All subjects underwent a standardized treatment protocol of cryotherapy and stretching during data collection. Subjects completed the McGill Pain Questionnaire and a visual analog scale (the latter to assess pain levels during range-of-motion activities) and, using a handheld dynamometer, performed 3 maximum voluntary isometric contractions to determine muscle force. Grade 1 and 2 joint mobilizations were administered to the experimental group, whereas the control group was placed in a prone position of comfort for the time it took to perform the joint mobilizations.Main Outcome Measure(s): Baseline, immediate posttreatment, and 24-hour posttreatment measurements of pain and muscle force were taken.Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group demonstrated significant decreases in the sensory subscale scores of the McGill Pain Questionnaire and in pain during lumbar extension and a significant increase in force production.Conclusions: Grade 1 and 2 joint mobilizations reduced subjects' pain and increased force production in the short-term stages of mechanical low back pain.
