  • A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS AND INNERVATION ZONE LOCATIONS IN UPPER TRAPEZIUS MUSCLES MARCO BARBERO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2016 1 ABSTRACT Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by sensory, motor and autonomic symptoms, and a myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is considered the principal clinical feature. Clinicians recognise myofascial pain syndrome as an important clinical entity but many basic and clinical issues need further research. Electrophysiological studies indicate that abnormal electrical activity is detectable near MTrPs. This phenomenon has been described as endplate noise and it has been purported to be associated MTrP pathophysiology. Authors also suggest that MTrPs are located in the innervation zone (IZ) of muscles. The aim of this thesis was to describe both the location of MTrP and the IZ’ locations in the upper trapezius muscle. The hypothesis was that distance between the IZ and the MTrP in upper trapezius muscle is equal to zero. This thesis includes two preliminary studies. The first one address the reliability of surface electromyography (EMG) in locating the IZ in upper trapezius muscle, and the second one address the reliability of a manual palpation protocol in locating the MTrP in upper trapezius muscle. The intra- rater reliability of surface EMG in locating the IZ was almost perfect; with Kappa = 0.90 for operator A and Kappa = 0.92 for operator B. Also the inter- rater reliability showed an almost perfect agreement, with Kappa = 0.82. Both the operators conducted 900 estimations of IZ’ location through visual analysis of the EMG signals.

Brenneman, M.S.N., C.S., A.N.P., F.N.P. Written documentation for clinical management of patients within health care settings usually include one or more of the following components. - Problem Statement (Chief Complaint) - Subjective (History) - Objective (Physical Exam/Diagnostics) - Assessment (Diagnoses) - Plan (Orders) - Rationale (Clinical Decision Making) Expertise and quality in clinical write-ups is somewhat of an art-form which develops over time as the student/practitioner gains practice and professional experience. In general, students are encouraged to review patient charts, reading as many H/Ps, progress notes and consult reports, as possible. In so doing, one gains insight into a variety of writing styles and methods of conveying clinical information.

  • Medicare Documentation by Dr
    Medicare Documentation By Dr. Ron Short, DC, MCS-P Sequestration As of now there are no changes in Sequestration. The Medicare Fee Schedule will change April 1. If you are a non-par doctor, check your MAC website for the current fee schedule. Pay particular attention to the Limiting Charge. Revalidation Medicare is starting a new round of Revalidation. Anyone enrolled in Medicare before March 2011 will be revalidated. CMS expects to finish by March 2015. You have 60 days after receiving a request for revalidation to submit the required materials or you will be removed from Medicare enrollment. There may be fees involved this time. Indications are that you will be assigned a risk rating. Also, indications are that they will be looking at compliance programs this time. Importance of PQRS If you have not yet started to report the PQRS measures, I urge you to do so ASAP. The future of Medicare will be to pay for the condition, not for the services provided. The results from the PQRS measures will be used to determine the time required to resolve various conditions. What Makes Good Documentation? Your records must be legible. All entries must be dated and signed by the doctor. If notes are handwritten, they must be in black or blue ink. Entries must be written or dictated within 24 hours of the patient encounter. There must be no erasures or white-outs on the records. There must be no blank spaces. The patient’s name must be on each page or both sides of the page as applicable.

  • Concussion and Migraine Update
    Dr. Mark Saracino 1150 First Avenue, Suite 120 Board Certified King of Prussia PA 19406 1341 Chiropractic Neurologist 610 337 3335 voice 610 337 4858 fax [email protected] www.DrSaracino.com In advance of a lecture I was asked to give September 2019 to 500 Pennsylvania attorneys whom work with patients with concussions, I created this list of updated concussion and migraine codes all doctors can use. The updates have empowered us to justify our suspicions that far-reaching complaints are often caused by concussions and migraines. A few years ago, the codes doctors use to label diseases was upgraded. To we chiropractic and medical neurologist's satisfaction, many of the symptoms that accompany concussions, migraines and severe headaches, such as abdominal complaints like nausea (G43.DO), visual changes causing double-vision and eye pain (G43.B) and mental-state changes of mental fatigue while concentrating and personality changes not experienced prior (R41.9), were included in the new codes. These revised codes were more inclusive and they, in some respects, justified our long-time recognition of the complications of concussion (SO6. ...), migraines (G43. ...) and headaches. The list below shows just a few of the updated conditions that were not well understood not long ago and ones seen in my patient population. Our understanding of concussions and other head-origin complaints is growing. ICD-10 Cranial (head) Diagnostic Codes R51 Headache & Facial px: chronic or daily M53.0 Cervicocranial syndrome G43.C0 Periodic headache syndromes
