Engaging stakeholders to refine an activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue: A nominal group technique (2019)
Journal Article
Antcliff, D., Keenan, A., Keeley, P., Woby, S., & McGowan, L. (2019). Engaging stakeholders to refine an activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue: A nominal group technique. Musculoskeletal Care, 17(4), 354-362. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1430

Objectives
Due to the current absence of a standardized guide for activity pacing, the concept of pacing is interpreted in various ways by healthcare professionals, patients and researchers. Consequently, the effects of pacing across different condi... Read More about Engaging stakeholders to refine an activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue: A nominal group technique.

Survey of activity pacing across healthcare professionals informs a new activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue (2019)
Journal Article
Antcliff, D., Keenan, A., Keeley, P., Woby, S., & McGowan, L. (2019). Survey of activity pacing across healthcare professionals informs a new activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue. Musculoskeletal Care, 335 - 345. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1421

INTRODUCTION: Activity pacing is considered a key component of rehabilitation programmes for chronic pain/fatigue. However, there are no widely used guidelines to standardize how pacing is delivered. This study aimed to undertake the first stage in d... Read More about Survey of activity pacing across healthcare professionals informs a new activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue.
