RESEARCH

Are you a CSP-registered physiotherapist?

Do you have experience working within mental health services, or do you have experience working closely with patients who have mental health difficulties?

We need your help to educate future generations of physiotherapists!

[Emily Howarth @EmilyHowarth10]

Ways to deliver oxygen

[Jackson Fyfe, PhD @jacksonfyfe]

The benefits of lifting weights go beyond bigger and stronger muscles.

Across 10 trials in 376 younger participants aged 11-26, resistance training had large positive effects on both depression and anxiety symptoms.

These benefits were seen after 12-20 weeks of training (2-3 sessions per week).

Yet more evidence of the positive effects of resistance training on mental - as well as physical - health.

Nice work from @MaryWoessner @ItamarLevinger and team!

Attended a great debate at #IsoK24 on surgical v non surgical ACL management.
If you're working with anyone considering what to do post ACL rupture. This decision making tool should be part of your conversation with your patient.
Great work @stephfilbay 👏

Knee X-Ray Anatomy

[Lea Alhilali, MD @teachplaygrub]

“Tell me where it hurts.”

How back pain radiates can tell you where the lesion is—if you know where to look!

Do YOU know where to look?

Here’s how to remember the lumbar radicular pain distributions!

Keep this cheat sheet as a BACKUP for when you are dealing with BACK pain!

➡️L1
🔸L1 radiates to the groin
🔸Remember that b/c the number 1 is, well, um…phallic. So phallic number 1 radiates to the groin.

➡️L2
🔸L2 radiates to thigh
🔸Two is the number between 1 and 3, so the distribution of L2 is between the distributions of L1 and L3—and between the groin (L1) and knee (L3) is the thigh.

➡️L3
🔸L3 radiates to the knee
🔸Remember L3 is to the knee—easy, it rhymes!

➡️L4
🔸L4 radiates to the calf.
🔸Remember this bc the number 4 looks like the calf, 🔸Top part of the 4 looking like a bulging gastroc & the bottom part of the four is the rest of the calf connecting to the ankle.

➡️L5
🔸L5 radiates to the big toe.
🔸Remember the little rhyme “Five is to the big guy!”
🔸L5 is also foot drop. Remember big guys are heavy, and heavy gravity = drop.

➡️S1
🔸S1 radiates to the side of the foot.
🔸Remember this because both S1 and Side start w/S.

So now you know where in the lumbar spine to a look when a patient tells you the pain radiates down their leg!

🚨Remember, there are many variations & this is just a starting guide🚨

But hopefully now remembering the lumbar radicular distributions won’t be a pain in the backside!
