Debora Falla: Trastornos de la Columna Cervical (CSD)Introducción

Colectivamente, este conocimiento ha dirigido los actuales abordajes de rehabilitación incluyendo un programa de ejercicios específicos basado en el análisis cuidadoso y preciso del movimiento y en los tests musculares, tal y como comprobaréis con el curso de Deborah Falla.

Este abordaje de ejercicios terapéuticos específicos para el manejo de los desórdenes cervicales ha demostrado que reduce los síntomas del dolor de cuello y las cefaleas y mejora varios parámetros de la función muscular que se sabe que están alterados en pacientes con dolor de cuello.

Dentro de este taller clínico impartido por Deborah Falla, se presentará este abordaje de ejercicio terapéutico para el manejo de los desórdenes cervicales.

Profesora

Recibió su Doctorado en Fisioterapia por la Universidad de Queensland , Australia , en 2003. En 2005 le concedieron becas de la Asociación Internacional para el Estudio del Dolor y de la Nacional de Salud y Consejo de Investigación Médica de Australia para llevar a cabo la investigación postdoctoral en el Centro de Interacción Sensorial -Motor , Universidad de Aalborg , Dinamarca. De 2007 a 2010 fue profesor asociado en la Facultad de Medicina, Departamento de Ciencias de la Salud y Tecnología, Universidad de Aalborg , Dinamarca. Desde 2012 es profesora en el Centro de Anestesiología, Medicina de Emergencias y Cuidados Intensivos y el Departamento de Ingeniería de Neurorrehabilitación , Hospital Universitario de Göttingen , Alemania.

Su enfoque de la investigación consiste en la integración de la investigación neurofisiológica y clínica para evaluar el control neuromuscular de la columna vertebral en las personas con dolor crónico. Sus intereses de investigación incluyen el aprendizaje de habilidades motoras y la formación para los trastornos de dolor musculoesquelético . En este campo ha publicado más de 90 artículos en revistas revisadas por pares, más de 100 comunicaciones a congresos / resúmenes y recibieron el Premio Delsys para electromiografía Innovación en 2004. Ha impartido más de 60 conferencias invitadas y ha impartido cursos de educación continua profesional en el manejo del dolor de cuello para profesionales de la salud en más de 20 países.
