In this episode, we talked about Using the Assess, Predict, Treat framework to direct our patient care The radar plot, triangulation, arms-length approach, and phenotyping Correlation and causation; confounders, moderators, and mediators The significance and practical tips of practicing trauma-assumed care   Professor Walton is a clinical researcher who focuses on the intersection between trauma, pain, physical and mental health. He uses both quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore these phenomena, and engage in critical theory around measurement of pain, wellness, and other clinical outcomes to enrich the rehabilitation and life experiences of people living with pain. He was one of the pioneers in Canada in the area of Pain Science in Physiotherapy, and was one of the co-founding members of the Pain Science Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. He co-authored Musculoskeletal Pain---Assessment, Prediction, and Treatment, A Pragmatic Approach with Dr. James Elliott, which is the textbook we will be discussing in the episode.   Resources Walton, D., & Elliott, J.

The primary purpose is to facilitate knowledge translation and critical thinking. Some episodes posit themselves as more educational than others, and some more opinionated than others. The listener is encouraged to listen critically. While there is an effort to incorporate research evidence, and the topics are always researched by the host, we recognize there is room for improvement and there is expertise in the community. As such, we invite constructive critique and that you inform us of any inadvertent errors, so that we may correct them.
