12th Annual Distinguished Lecture on the Science of Manual Therapy

Date:                             Friday, November 3   3:00 – 6:30 (Registration at 2:30)

Measuring the Patient’s Pain Experience by Recognizing the Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things…

Description: Integrated and global research efforts involving a diverse group of professionals has realized that the prediction of recovery following motor vehicle collisions involves a complex interplay between biological, psychological, and environmental processes.  Jim and his lab are working on new imaging based methods and pain quantification measures for making the mostly invisible experience of pain and disability more visible and meaningful at the level of the clinician. In this session, Jim will speak about emerging advancements in the clinical assessment and management of the patient with suspected head/neck trauma.

James (Jim) Elliott PT, PhD

James (Jim) Elliott completed his PhD at the University of Queensland, Australia (UQ) in 2007 and post-doctoral fellowship (2010) at UQ’s Centre for Advanced Imaging. He is currently a tenure-track Associate Professor in the Feinberg School of Medicine and the principal investigator of The Neuromuscular Imaging Research Lab. He has over 75 peer-reviewed publications, and numerous speaking invitations at the national and international level. The primary focus of Jim’s laboratory is to characterize the underlying neurophysiological and biological mechanisms for poor functional recovery following spinal trauma, in particular, traumatic injuries following a motor vehicle collision (MVC).

4 CEU’s will be awarded.
