Scientific Award Poster Presentation for Anke Langenfeld
Anke Langenfeld has received the Scientific Award for her poster ‘Development of a Self-administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool (S-ROM-Neck) In Chronic Neck Pain Patients: A prospective cohort study’.
The award was granted at the congress of the Swiss Association for Manuel Therapy (SAMT-SSTM) which was held 24-26 November 2016 in Interlaken, Switzerland.
The study evaluated if the movement of the cervical spine, assessed via a specific questionnaire by the patient, is a valid and reliable tool and could be used in daily clinical routine. The conclusion was that S-ROM-Neck instrument provides an important, patient related component to the initial assessment of patients with neck pain and is therefore recommended for clinical settings.
