Have you hand/arm and/or shoulder pain that’s lasted for longer than 3 months anyone?
If so, please take part in this very worthy research. Take 45 minutes.
Thanks.

Research on Movement Observation in Chronic Upper-Limb Pain

We are looking for individuals who have been experiencing pain for more than 3 months in their upper limb(s) e.g., hand, arm and/or shoulder due to for example fractures and sprains, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or any other upper-limb pain that has lasted for over 3 months.

You will be asked about your experience with pain and movements and to view short video clips of different movements. You will be asked to make some judgements about the videos and to answer some questions about yourself and your pain experiences. This research could lead to a deeper understanding of movement-related difficulties in chronic pain.

The study will take approximately 45 minutes of your time, and as compensation, you will be entered into a prize draw to win one out of three £50 vouchers.

Criteria:
· English fluency sufficient to understand task instructions
· Age 18 or above
· Normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
· Chronic pain in one of your upper-limbs (for 3+ months)
· A computer device and stable internet connection (phone/tablet are not supported)

It’s always lovely to receive thanks for a term of accessible chair yoga classes I’ve given. I recently received this beautiful hand drawn card from the organiser of one such group who was happy for me to post about the card but asked to remain anonymous.
So grateful 🙏🏼💓😍
