Dr. Mary Derrick is a PhD candidate in the Department of Physical erapy and Athletic Training at the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Derrick studies the acquisition of pain beliefs in health providers and is a Research Assistant for the College of Health while teaching musculoskeletal physical therapy. Dr. Derrick is also adjunct faculty in the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical era­py at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. In addition to entry-level Doctor of Physical erapy instruction, Mary has taught in a variety of residency and fellowship programs. Clinically, Dr. Derrick focuses her practice treating patients with per­sistent pain as part of multidisciplinary pain programs. She also has expertise in the adaptation of manual therapy techniques for various providers' sizes including those who are outsized by their patients. She obtained her Doctor of Physical erapy degree at Texas State University in 2013 and graduated from the Evidence in Motion Orthopaedic Manual Physical erapy Fellowship program in 2016. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical erapists and is a board-certified orthopaedic clinical specialist.
In this monograph, the authors provide a contemporary, evidence-based perspective on the management of neck pain, one of the most common conditions treated in orthopedic physical therapy practice. e monograph begins with a review of the intricate anatomy of the cervical spine along with updated information on screening for serious vascular and ligamentous instability conditions. e remainder of the monograph, on evaluation and treatment of cervical spine conditions, is based on the classification system proposed by the 2017 neck clinical practice guidelines from the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical erapy. is information is augmented with description of assessment and evaluation techniques, and clinical reasoning strategies. e authors also incorporate the use of radar plots as an approach to efficiently manage patients within a biopsychosocial framework. For additional clinical context, the monograph concludes with perti­nent clinical scenarios. is monograph represents a relatively succinct, yet comprehensive, resource for the management of individuals with neck pain.
My sincere thanks to the authors for their contribution to the Current Concepts series.
Sincerely,
Guy Simoneau, PT, PhD, FAPTA Editor

ABSTRACT
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints for which patients seek physical therapy care. is monograph provides an in-depth exploration of evidence-driven physical therapy management for patients with neck pain, including information from the 2017 Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) Linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health from the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical erapy of the American Physical erapy Association. e CPG includes efficient decision-making tools that enable classification and subsequent management of patients with neck pain into 4 primary categories: neck pain with mobility deficits, neck pain with movement coordination impairment, neck pain with cervicogenic headaches, and neck pain with radiating pain. Decision-making tools to screen for serious pathologies including conditions related to cervical vasculature risks are also reviewed. Finally, clinical case scenarios aimed at challenging the reader to apply presented concepts of examination and intervention to patient care are presented.
Key Words: clinical reasoning, dysfunction, interventions, neck pain
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this monograph, the course participant will be able to:
1. Apply relevant anatomy of the cervical spine and its functional
relationship to clinical assessment and intervention of this region.
2. Identify appropriate self-report questionnaires and
examination techniques and procedures to determine the optimal physical therapy intervention.
PRE-LEARNING ASSESSMENT
Dominic is a 65-year-old male self-referred to physical therapy with complaints of neck pain and stiffness that are worse in the morning and eases when taking ibuprofen (400mg) and using moist heat. Dominic also reports pain in both shoulders and occasional left elbow pain. His symptoms have been present for about 3 months. Dominic’s past medical history is significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a cardiovascular accident (CVA) 3 years prior, which was mild with no obvious residual functional impact. Dominic presents in the clinic wearing a walking boot as well, and reports he fell and twisted his right ankle in the driveway 1 week prior. He reports taking lisinopril, lovastatin, and coumadin and that his last blood pressure reading 1 week prior was 145/92.

Which of the following procedures would likely yield a
positive finding based on your initial hypothesis list? a. Sharp-Purser test. b. Segmental mobility assessment. c. Craniocervical flexion test. d. Valsalva test.
e correct answer is b. Segmental mobility assessment. Based on complaints of neck pain and stiffness that is worse in the morning, the most likely diagnosis includes neck pain with mobility deficit, for which segmental mobility could provide confirmatory findings. A craniocervical flexion test would be performed primarily for a patient in the movement coordination impairments classification, this would be the second best answer given the duration of symptoms which could potentially influence muscle activity and endurance. ere is no indication of neurological disorders or trauma that would suggest a need for the Sharp-Purser test. e Valsalva test would be inappropriate to perform due to the cardiopulmonary risk factors that are present.

manipulation as part of the treatment plan. Which of the
https://t.me/med1917
following best describes Dominic’s risk for this procedure? a. No risk. b. Minimal risk. c. Some risk. d. High risk.
e correct answer is d. High risk. e patient presents with several cardiovascular risk factors as evident by his medication list, medical history, and ongoing hypertension. According to the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manual Physical erapists cervical framework, he falls in the high-risk category.
3. Given the age of the patient, the physical therapist
includes cervical myelopathy in the list of potential cervical conditions. Which of the historical factors might also
increase your suspicion of the patient having this condition? a. Recent fall. b. Neck stiffness. c. History of a CVA. d. Pain into the arms.
e correct answer is a. Recent fall. A recent fall on a level surface could indicate ataxic gait, which is a sign for cervical myelopathy and present in the test item cluster from Cook
1
et al.
While pain into the arms and neck stiffness can also be related to cervical myelopathy, these items are not included in the cluster of tests helpful for diagnosis proposed by Cook et al.

Assuming cervical myelopathy was ruled out and the

working hypothesis is neck pain with mobility deficits, given the information available, which intervention should
be prioritized for this patient? a. Deep neck flexor strengthening. b. Unilateral posterior-to-anterior (PA) joint mobilizations. c. Home cervical traction. d. Neurodynamic glides with ulnar nerve bias.
e correct answer is b. Unilateral posterior-to-anterior (PA) joint mobilizations. Because this patient best fits the neck pain with mobility deficits classification, the intervention best suited to this patient should be primarily focused on regaining motion. In this case, unilateral PA joint mobilizations to the cervical spine is the best answer. Deep neck flexor strengthening would be most appropriate for the movement coordination deficits classification, but the pain and stiffness that eases with movement and ibuprofen indicates more a mobility deficit classification. ere is not enough information provided to indicate the shoulder or elbow pain is radicular in nature, therefore, neurodynamic glides with ulnar nerve bias is incorrect. Similarly, home cervical traction would not be appropriate without more evidence of the radicular nature of symptoms, but also not until a trial treatment of traction is performed in the clinic to assess response.
INTRODUCTION
e cervical spine is an extraordinary area of the body that somehow combines a critical protective role while affording a large amount of motion to enable function. It is the most mobile portion of the spine and yet has to dutifully protect the spinal cord and critical head and neck vasculature. Our cervical spine allows us to move, often quickly, through substantial ranges of motion to maintain our visual orientation and respond both functionally and socially to the world around us. is dichotomy of mobility and protection are often at odds, and so it is not surprising that neck pain is among the most common disorders experienced by patients seeking physical therapy care. lifespan, although the nature of the injuries change according to age. Neck pain is the 4th leading cause of disability, impacting up to 30% of the population and it has been estimated that around a quarter of patients seeking outpatient orthopedic care do so due to neck pain. pain has been reported to be 16% in a review of large trials. Accordingly, this monograph will review risk factors for neck pain, many of which belong to the psychosocial realm rather than the physical one.
One particular consideration for the cervical spine is that clinicians must be able to rule out the presence of serious vascular pathology, which can present with neck pain as a primary symptom. Furthermore, based on the specific functional anatomy of the cervical spine, the inherent complexity in the region, the inherent limitations in our assessments, and the many imaginative ways that humans have found to injure this body region, the clinical presentation for neck pain can be overwhelming to clinicians. erefore, we will discuss a classification-based strategy for decision making for patients with neck pain.
Importantly, many factors related to examination and intervention of the cervical spine have been extensively researched. While we still have much to learn, one byproduct of this research influx is that the clinical practice guideline (CPG) published by Blanpied et al systematic reviews, and reviews of reviews. ey wrote, “Since the original neck pain CPG was published in 2008, publication of the results of a large number of trials has coincided with an increased number of systematic reviews and reviews of reviews. e current update appraises high level systematic reviews using updated criteria for levels of evidence and recommendations consistent with contemporary research methodology. e authors encourage the reader to note these changes in interpreting the guideline recommendations.” clinical guidelines combine various levels of evidence, including expert opinion, but it is notable that primary evidence sources were of such high quality for this body of work.
