Our websites latest blog discusses the advantages and disadvantages of four commonly used research impact metrics. https://t.co/epJjXRrgfL

[ChadCookPT @chadcookpt]

CONVERGE speaker: This presentation addresses the intricacies of patient safety and adverse events of SMT from an innovative approach merging clinical and basic sciences - It will deepen your understanding of manipulative therapy forces and how it relates to safety!

[ChadCookPT @chadcookpt]

CONVERGE speaker: This presentation explores mechanisms of manual therapy and their role in patient outcomes. It emphasizes mechanistic research, clinical trials, and the importance of understanding what drives patient outcomes to inform personalized and effective care.

[ChadCookPT @chadcookpt]

CONVERGE Plenary will explore mechanisms of SMT which can clarify when and why therapeutic techniques are effective. But what are mechanisms and how does one find them? The plenary will share insights from recent philosophical research on mechanisms in the life sciences.

Very important paper from some of the leading manual therapy research scientists. Just out in JOSPT. https://t.co/ppFrSrMkrI

[@CEMMT @DukeCEMMT]

New paper on categorizing mechanisms. A notable step toward understanding whether mechanisms research is applicable to clinical practice. https://t.co/bTbtgo5ZAt

Two new blogs on the Duke CEMMT website https://t.co/epJjXRrgfL 1) Is myofascial pain syndrome a legitimate primary diagnosis and 2) risk of bias measures can be biased. Contributions from @DamianKeter and Ken Learman. We would love to hear your thoughts. Nearly 30 blog posts.

@ForceNET5 webinar today at 2pm EDT. Don't miss it!

[ChadCookPT @chadcookpt]

Join us (@ForceNET5) on Monday, October 21st at 2PM EDT for a free webinar from Director of NCCIH Dr. Helene Langevin; the topic - the mechanical aspects of acupuncture. https://t.co/Li0FI78mUQ

[@CEMMT @DukeCEMMT]

@RobinLarssonRPT Yes, the authors state "However, it must be remembered that RCTs are not an appropriate study design for detecting rare, serious AEs, and thus no conclusion can be drawn about the causal association between cervical manipulation and serious AEs"

[@CEMMT @DukeCEMMT]

"In conclusion, HVLA manipulations do not pose a greater risk of mild or moderate AEs than do various control interventions such as mobilizations, sham manipulations, or exercises". https://t.co/2GpWNldRBO

[@CEMMT @DukeCEMMT]

In the conclusion of this open access paper https://t.co/r9eTzFftJl the authors give recommendations on how to describe the mechanisms of spine manipulation to patients.

Many many uncertainties. our newest review on changes in anatomical structures following SMT

[@CEMMT @DukeCEMMT]

Cervical vs. cervicothoracic or thoracic spinal manipulation: outcomes are disability and ROM. Similar findings for ROM but not disability. https://t.co/FS3pVTVm85
