pubLisHed worK by dr. steven pAssmore Dr. Steven Passmore has authored and co-authored several peer reviewed articles in a number of professional journals. Below is a list of some of his research work. • • • • • • • • • • • • • Performance based objective outcome measures and spinal manipulation Relationship between ambulatory performance and self-rated disability in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis Anatomically remote muscle contraction facilitates patellar tendon reflex reinforce-ment while mental activity does not: a within-participants experimental trial Head movement kinematics during rapid aiming task performance in healthy and neck-pain participants: the importance of optimal task difficulty Spinal manipulation impacts cervical spine movement and fitts’ task performance: a single-blind randomized before-after trial Chiropractors at McMaster University: The formation and direction of a universi-ty-based multidisciplinary chiropractic working group A cross-sectional analysis of clinical outcomes following chiropractic care in veterans with and without post-traumatic stress disorder Positive patient outcome after spinal manipulation in a case of cervical angina Consultation request patterns, patient characteristics, and utilization of services within a Veterans Affairs medical center chiropractic clinic Older adults demonstrate reduced performance in a Fitts’ task involving cervical spine movement Chiropractic evaluation and management of the pregnant patient: an update from recent literature Head-putter coordination patterns in expert and less skilled golfers Effects of focus of attention depend on golfers’ skill symptomatic patients. It also does not require an additional visit to the labo-ratory for patients with mobility is-sues. It is a model that functions opti-mally when researchers are placed in an environment where a high volume of special clinical population is seen. The positions held by DC PhDs at major medical-doctoral research-inten-sive universities are the ideal settings for such work. How much of an impact does research have on the future of chiropractic? * For a link to any of these titles, visit Passmore’s profile on LinkedIn. 28 Canadian Chiropractor September 2013 SP: Research has a tremendous impact on the future of chiropractic. It is a process that helps to provide insight as to why clinicians do what they do, and potentially how to streamline or im-prove the efficiency and efficacy of care delivery. Research also allows for the identification of populations who may benefit from chiropractic care but are presently underserved by the existing health-care paradigm. Published research findings provide something tangible that chiropractors can turn to when they discuss their role in health care with patients, clinicians from other disciplines and government stakeholders. www.canadianchiropractor.ca Photo: University of Manitoba
