Influence of Directional Preference on Movement Coordination Deficits in Individuals With Whiplash Associated Disorders

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The aim of this prospective observational study is to investigate whether the presence or absence of directional preference impacts movement coordination impairments as measured in patients with Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD). The primary research question this study aims to answer is: 1. Is the presence of directional preference in patients with WADs associated with more favorable improvements in the specific outcome measures as compared to those patients with WADs without the presence of directional preference. Patients in this study will asked to complete the following measures at baseline, during care, discharge, and 3 month follow up. 1. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 2. Optimal Screening for Prediction and Referral and Outcome-Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) 3. Neck Disability Index (NDI) 4. Craniocervical Flexion Test (CCFT) 5. Neck Flexor Endurance Test 6. Cervical Range of Motion Patients demonstrating a directional preference will be managed utilizing a Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment approach (MDT) while those without directional preference will be managed according to published clinical practice guidelines for patients with Neck Pain and Movement Coordination Deficits (WADs).
