The idea of a "movement system" diagnosis is an example of the medicalisation of normal & expected variations in human movement. People with pain may move differently; we need to refrain from giving them a label.
Many experts argue we should reduce asymmetry of movement, in order to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. But this new study shows that asymmetry during sprinting is very common in high-level sprinters, and is unrelated to both performance and injury risk
“Trends in PE ownership rapidly increased across almost all healthcare settings studied [and] is often associated with harmful impacts on costs to patients or payers...” Nice work @gero5 and team. @bmj_latest https://t.co/Z9hQ80ycNo
@LenMacPT@LjadeC QT graft recline (less hip flexion) for quad exercises because the QT graft is taken entirely from the rectus femoris, a biarticular muscle
Lumbar flexion during exercise. Does it happen? Can we see when it does? New addition to our “By the numbers” series.
Massive thanks to @runbabyo Alex Gacek, Alexandra Orlowsky & @Chris_Juneau3
I’ve heard that, in PT clinics where the pt sees multiple providers, the most complex patients see only 1-2.
Looking at this study, I’d say that’s a must considering that not doing so increases cost and risk of surgery.

If you think adaptation is out the window because you've passed the age of 50, think again.
The human body is ingenious by design.
Imagine being 88 and feeling like you did a 5 minute all-out TT when walking 300 meter. That was the case for my patient (shared w. consent) ->
Congratulations to @ptjedimaster, PT, DPT, on his recent publication in @JOPTEjournal titled "Factors Contributing to Physical Therapists’ Job and Career Satisfaction in the United States: Results From a National Survey." https://t.co/56U9aQJDGV
Congrats, Craig! 🎉
The description of degenerative joint disease for #osteoarthritis is inaccurate and it’s use reflects limited understanding of the disease. #catchup#oarsi2022
