Where Pain Meets Function & Fear
Webinar Title & Description
Where Pain Meets Function & Fear—Integrating Movement-evoked Pain and Kinesiophobia into a Mechanism-based Approach to Care for Achilles Tendinopathy. The fear of pain can often limit a patient’s progress, function and recovery. This webinar aims to examine a mechanism-based approach to evaluation while highlighting movement-evoked pain as a means of integrating the assessment of motor dysfunction with pain. A review of neurobiological pain mechanisms will be incorporated along with the impact of psychological factors (e.g. kinesiophobia) and the movement system. Patient cases will be used to illustrate application of a mechanism-based approach to guide evaluation and treatment.
Instructor
Ruth L. Chimenti, DPT, PhD
