Abstract

Proprioception is important to many musicians and all dancers. Methods of measuring proprioception in the hands of musicians and globally in dancers are reviewed. Their uses in defining proprioception in performers and thereby reducing the risk of injury as well as enhancing performance are discussed.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
