The Clinical Practice Guideline Initiative: A joint collaboration designed to improve the quality of care delivered by doctors of chiropractic
No full textThe article offers information on the Clinical Practice Guideline Initiative designed to improve the quality of care for musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions provided by chiropractic doctors. Topics discussed include management of back and neck pain, the relative risks of treatments of MSK conditions, and clinical decision making. Also mentioned are utilization of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), and diagram depicting structure of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Initiative
An Assessment of Patient-Centred Care in Patients with Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions Attending Chiropractic Practice

No full textThis thesis describes the development, validation and implementation of piezoelectric flow sensors. These sensors are meant to measure flow phenomena such as transition and separation in the boundary layer of an aircraft wing. Such information can be usedas input variables to a control loop to push laminar-to-turbulent transition towards the trailing edge of a wing, thereby reducing the overall skin friction drag. The developed sensors are installed in the SmartX wing, which is a morphing wing developed at theDelft University of Technology (TUD).Novel Aerospace Material
The Changing Effects of Energy-Price Shocks on Economic Activity and Inflation
No full textIn this article the author examines the effects that major changes in energy prices in recent years have had on inflation and on the pace of economic expansion. These are then compared with the effects of the oil-price shocks that occurred in the 1970s and early 1980s. Changes in the intensity of energy use are examined, as well as developments in Canada's merchandise trade surplus in energy commodities and products. The author also considers the effects that a monetary policy anchored to low and stable inflation could have on price-setting behaviour and thus on the pass-through of higher energy costs to core inflation in Canada and in other industrial countries.
The treatment experience of patients with low back pain during pregnancy and their chiropractors: a qualitative study
No full textAdverse events from spinal manipulation in the pregnant and postpartum periods: a critical review of the literature
No full textAbstract Background The safety of spinal manipulation during pregnancy and the postpartum periods has been a matter of debate among manual therapists. Spinal manipulative therapy during these periods is a commonly performed intervention as musculoskeletal pain is common in these patients. To date there has not been an evaluation of the literature on this topic exclusively. Methods A literature search was conducted on PubMed, CINAHL and the Index to Chiropractic Literature along with reference searching for articles published in English and French in the peer-reviewed literature that documented adverse effects of spinal manipulation during either pregnancy or postpartum. Case reports, case series, and any other clinical study designs were deemed acceptable for inclusion, as were systematic reviews. The appropriate Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) tools were used to rate included articles for quality when applicable. Results Five articles identifying adverse events in seven subjects following spinal manipulation were included in this review, along with two systematic reviews. The articles were published between 1978 and 2009. Two articles describing adverse effects from spinal manipulation on two postpartum patients were included, while the remaining three articles on five patients with adverse effects following spinal manipulation were on pregnant patients. Injury severity ranged from minor injury such as increasing pain after treatment that resolved within a few days to more severe injuries including fracture, stroke, and epidural hematoma. SIGN scores of the prospective observational cohort study and systematic reviews indicated acceptable quality. Conclusions There are only a few reported cases of adverse events following spinal manipulation during pregnancy and the postpartum period identified in the literature. While improved reporting of such events is required in the future, it may be that such injuries are relatively rare.</p
Research resource environment in Canada. Gathering knowledge in advance to inform chiropractic research priorities.
No full textObjective: To better understand the research resources and environment within the Canadian chiropractic profession. Methods: All members of the Canadian Chiropractic Association (n=7200) were invited to access an electronic survey on research capacity, activity, and resources. Canadian chiropractic stakeholder organizations received an invitation to participate in a related survey. Results: 505 CCA members completed the survey (7.0% completed response rate, 65% males, 19% with graduate degrees). Researchers (26 full-time and 67 part-time) produced over 530 authorships in the past five years. Clinical research and systematic reviews were the most common areas of involvement. Regular meetings were rarely reported between researchers and chiropractic stakeholder organizations. Stakeholders indicated using research for member education, negotiation with government or funders, direct inquiries, and increased credibility. Fewer than half of the organizations regularly evaluated their research needs. Conclusions: Chiropractic research resources in Canada are growing, but inconsistent communication and coordination between researchers and knowledge users persists. (JCCA. 2017

Methodologie : Tous les membres de l'Association Chiropratique Canadienne (n = 7 200) ont ete invites a acceder a un sondage en ligne sur la capacite, les activites et les ressources de recherche. Les associations canadiennes de chiropratique concernees ont recu une invitation a participer a un sondage apparente. Resultats : 505 membres de la CCA ont repondu au sondage (taux de reponse de 7 %, 65 % des repondants etaient des hommes, 19 % etaient diplomes). Au cours des cinq dernieres annees, les chercheurs (26 a plein temps et 67 a temps partiel) ont publie plus 530 articles. La recherche clinique et les examens systematiques etaient les activites suscitant le plus d'interet. Des rencontres regulieres entre chercheurs et associations de chiropratique concernees ont ete rarement signalees. Les intervenants ont indique qu'ils effectuaient des recherches pour informer les membres, negocier avec le gouvernement ou des bailleurs de fonds, presenter des demandes de renseignements et accroitre leur credibilite. Moins de la moitie des associations evaluaient regulierement leurs besoins de recherche. Conclusions : Il existe de plus en plus de ressources de recherche en chiropratique au Canada. Mais on observe toujours un manque de coherence dans la communication et la coordination des efforts entre les chercheurs et les utilisateurs des connaissances. (JCCA). 2017
