*** The NeuroMuscular Research Center ***
of Boston University
Presents Its 1993 Colloquium
BACK MUSCLE ASSESSMENT:
"Better Management of Low Back Pain Through Objective Measurements"
Saturday, November 6, 1993
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Boston University Law School
765 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, Massachusetts
***** SEATS ARE LIMITED. RESERVE YOUR SEAT TODAY!! *****
Please join us at the 1993 NMRC Colloquium. This program will provide
practical advice and the most current information available on quantitative
objective measurements for back muscle assessment and management of low back
pain. A lively exchange of critical issues such as cost containment, health
care reforms, and low back pain evaluation techniques will occur as audience
members interact with acknowledged authorities in these fields.
LEARN THE LATEST INFORMATION ON:
* Dynamometers * Isomachines *Electromyography
* Work-Hardening and Pre-Employment Evaluations
* Impact of Workers Compensation Reform, NIOSH, and ADA
* Reimbursement Issues
SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED:
* The critical need for better quantitative assessment procedures to identify
muscle impairment and facilitate rehabilitation.
* How to evaluate muscle performance and effort using dynamometers and new
technological advances.
* How to utilize data from current testing devices to monitor treatment
progression and diagnose impairment.
* How specific measures of muscle performance relate to low back pain
impairment and disability.
* How Workers Compensation Reform, new NIOSH guidelines, the ADA and other
health care reforms will effect techniques and future research.
