This week we welcomed Dr. Kevin Ford (High Point Univ) to guide optimization of our Theia 3D motion capture. His biomechanics expertise is shaping the future of data-driven injury management and prevention! @RMUoHP

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

@RMUoHP + Baylor’s D1 Sports PT Fellowship welcomed Dr. Alexandra DeJong Lempke @afdlempke (VCU) for an inter-university lecture on wearable tech & military health. Incredible insights on injury prevention & field-based biomechanics! #WearableTech #MilitaryHealth

Telehealth Gait Retraining for Injured Runners 🏃‍♂️

💡 Takeaway: Our recent RCT shows telehealth gait retraining may be a low-risk, accessible option for runners without in-person care options.

✅ Key Finding: pain reduced more with Telehealth

1️⃣ ACL Graft Type & Recovery
🔹 QT grafts = lower psychological readiness & weaker quads vs. BPTB.
🔹 No major difference across competition levels.
⚕️ PTs should focus on mental & strength deficits in QT graft patients for better RTS outcomes.

[Mike Crowell @MCrowell_PT]

2️⃣ Psych Readiness & Biomechanics Post-ACLR
🔹 Mental readiness links to quad strength, NOT biomechanics.
🔹 ACLR patients have lingering deficits vs. healthy controls.
⚕️ PTs should assess psych readiness & quad function to optimize recovery.

Was great to catch up with colleagues and share some of our work (below) at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting last month in Houston, TX! Looking forward to getting these two projects into print this year. 1/3

📢Results from our RCT on Battlefield Acupuncture after shoulder surgery ... adding BFA to standard PT showed no extra benefit in reducing pain, mood issues, or medication use.

@afdlempke @gau_desai @PetersonREALab @VCU_RAMHS Come to the West Point Sports PT fellowship next!

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

@afdlempke @IAS10_2024 Ahhhhhhh I wanna be a fly on the wall. Any future plans to do this session elsewhere?

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

Who is in New Orleans for #NATA2024 ?!? Come join me Thursday for both a rapid fire presentation and poster discussing the validity of the SWAY Balance Mobile Application for concussion assessment.

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

@afdlempke @Lepley_Adam @ShawnHanlonATC @NATAFoundation @NATA1950 @VCU_RAMHS I’m so bummed to be missing your lecture- I have a rapid fire scheduled for the same time with Lempke 2.0 (just kidding he’s probably just as awesome as you)

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

@afdlempke @ACSMNews What a group! Blessed to get to work with some of these rockstar scientists and all around wonderful people

[Keith Knurr @KeithKnurr]

Join us for a convo about knee injuries in the US military population in 1 week! Lead author Ben Adams will discuss his recent @Sports_Health publication with @Chris_Juneau3

Register at the AASPT link. You DO NOT need to be an AASPT member to join!

Thank you @afdlempke for attending our session, and for your kind support!

[Alexandra F. DeJong Lempke PhD, ATC @afdlempke]

Fantastic talk by @ErinFlorks11 at #MHSRS2023 on her study exploring a clinically-feasible telehealth gait retraining intervention for military personnel with knee pain

[Erin Florkiewicz @ErinFlorks11]

@MuyVienDPT Your biomedical poster graphics are awesome! Did you do them yourself or hire a graphic designer? If so please share their info!

Army’s Eric Huss suffered a potentially catastrophic injury Thursday vs Sacred Heart taking a skate blade to the neck. Army trainer, Rachel Leahy, jumped on the ice and calmly helped control/stop the bleeding. Another medical hero. Huss is out of surgery and is stable now.

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

One hero who should be recognized here: Last night, I was told the work of Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington in administering CPR to Damar Hamlin on Monday was absolutely vital.

The speed and skill with which he and others reacted = A huge difference-maker.

Shirley-ism: ‘You can strengthen something and then move it right, but you cannot strengthen something TO make it move right’. USF is blessed to have Shirley Sahrmann share her lifetime of wisdom with us!

[Don Goss @dgosspt]

Just returned home to NC from an awesome research meeting with LTC Mike Crowell, MAJ (P) Jamie Morris and the West Point Sports Medicine Fellowship Research Team! The future is bright!
