A summary thread from the great Emergency Medicine Australasia issue I finally read on the plane; @EMAJournal #foamed
Thom study in EMA: patients with unstable cervical #fractures can sit (29%), walk (63%), lack midline tenderness (27%), and have delayed presentation (20%).

surf injuries were mostly lower c-spine
NEXUS underperformed compared to Canadian C-spine.
#drowning and cervical CTs are not inextricably linked: don't automatically image unless signs of axial loading/very specific concerns

@EMAJournal [my $0.02 on immobilising (virtually) anyone prehospitally: cervical immobilisation is a myth: collars don't actually immobilise, and 'immobilisation' doesn't actually prevent neurological injury...it *does* however harm (eg aspiration and other harms)]
I will be sharing my Ph.D. research during the next 30 days #Covid19 lockdown, while I wait for my Ph.D. defence!
My Ph.D. mainly aimed to improve pain care in Nepal.
Paper 1: Nepali Numerical Rating Scale and Global Rating of Change! bit.ly/2JdysnJ

Paper 2: Validation of the Nepali Patient-Specific Functional Scale published in our very own @JOSPT. We found that PSFS is comprehensible, reliable, valid, and responsive in people with MSK pain (who r able to comprehend numbers). Full-text: jospt.org/doi/abs/10.251…
Paper 3: Clinimetric properties of the Nepali version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). We found a 2 factor structure for the Nepali PCS. The scale is reliable and valid. @DovePress

Overlaps with Prof @RachelleBuchbin der's presentation.
Much of modern back pain care is ineffective and/or harmful.

Weak evidence base for PREVENTION of LBP
✅Exercise and Education (together), Exercise (alone) shown effective in Adults
❌Education (alone), back belts, shoe insoles, ergonomic intervention NOT EFFECTIVE
✔️very low quality evidence for ergonomic school furniture in kids
