Chapters & learning objectives
1. Implementing Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric and Adolescent Neck Pain
This chapter will introduce the appropriate clinical practice guidelines and valid use for the management of neck pain, and when possible, specific to the pediatric and adolescent population. This course will also introduce the limitations to using a guideline-based approach, especially when pulling from adult population resources. However, these guidelines will be utilized as a framework for the management of pediatric and adolescent neck pain.
2. Classification of Neck Pain: Consistencies and Inconsistencies
This chapter will provide background and detailed information about classification approaches to the management of neck pain. Moreover, this course will identify the inconsistencies with recommendations in published guidelines, as well as consistencies and inconsistencies between adult neck pain management and pediatric/adolescent neck pain management.
3. Performing a Guideline-Informed Cervical Evaluation for Pediatric and Adolescent Neck Pain
Clinical practice guideline recommendations will be incorporated as the framework for instruction of cervical examination and evaluation. The International Federation of Manual Physical Therapists will also be used for screening and examination instruction. This chapter will provide specific instruction on the examination and evaluation of pediatric/adolescent neck pain, including using the findings to determine the best management strategies.
