Learn about the relationship between motor skills at age 7 and spinal pain at age 11.

A brand-new module is launching today on eacacademy.com! The module is based on a PMC article by Hestbaek et al.

This article centres on a study which investigates the relationship between motor skills at age 7 and spinal pain at age 11. The study included participants from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Data on motor skills were obtained from the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire, completed by the mothers when the children were 7 years old, and spinal pain that was self-reported at age 11, for frequency and intensity of neck, mid back, and low back pain. This was categorized into “no,” “moderate,” or “severe” pain, based on frequency and intensity.

The results indicate a link between motor development at 7 years of age and neck and mid back pain, but not low back pain, at 11 years of age. Improvement of motor skills in young children might reduce the future burden of neck and mid back pain and should be a target of future research.

This module aims to help you:
• Recognise the importance of motor skills development in children, and the risk of acquiring back pain in adolescence and perhaps later in life.
• Look at the early motor skill development when estimating a prognosis.
• Ensure you properly listen to pre-adolescent and adolescent patients when a back-related complaint is put forward.

A brand-new module is launching today on eacacademy.com!

At the ECU2024 Convention in Valencia, Anna Papadopoulou gave a stimulating presentation, outlining a holistic view of anxiety, burn-out and stress. This has now been turned into a brand-new module on eacacademy.com!

Focusing on the underlying neurobiology, Anna takes us through a systematic approach of neurological analysis and clinical applications for stress-related disorders. From the HPA-axis to the cerebellum; from prefrontal cortex to brainstem physiology; from neurotransmitters to biopsychosocial aspects, Anna analyses symptoms and unravels their underlying dysfunctional, and synthesizes a whole person and individualized approach to these stress-related disorders. This is a must see!

This module will help you to:
• Understand the neurophysiological underpinnings of anxiety, burn-out and stress
• Learn how to analyse stress-related disorders from a holistic neurological perspective
• Gain clinical application tools that are grounded in in-depth understanding of neurophysiological and anatomical relationships
