@SaraKni80449195#PT582#SK I'm not 100% on this, it would probably depend on the amount of intensity provided & how often they're stimulating this (I would hope only once is enough) If it were more of a continuous activity for them to recreate this feeling, than I would be a little more worried
#PT582#SK I don’t think it would hurt to have e-stim applied over a tattoo, but it is something for us to keep in mind and to potentially ensure that e-stim is not left on for too long (or @ too high of an intensity) to prevent anything from occurring. (1/2)
#PT582#CC Based on what we’ve learned & what we have felt through our own experience, I would probably not advocate much for US in clinic. I think the use & effects of US vary person-person & injury-injury. It may work better in specific tx zones over others.
#PT582#CC It my pt asked for it & had found use from it previously, I would definitely allow the use of US to be used. If it didn't work how they were anticipating it to, I would talk to them about other modalities we could use that may benefit them more. (1/2)
#PT582#AS I think doing prolotherapy w/ PT is beneficial.
I think it’s important for us to approach any and all options for our patients therapy. https://t.co/4cetc1OTw0 (3/3) (Sorry for length:)
#PT582#AS Age, occupation, sport performance/ activity, and some health conditions can make some people over others more susceptible to tendinitis. https://t.co/cFupmKjANk
(1/2)
#PT582#AS I think it’s important for us as PTs to ask the right questions to find out what might have caused the tendinitis; what we’re they doing? Was there any change in what they did compared to how they normally perform the activity? Change in environment? (2/)
#PT582#RI Using this for rehab, preparing during training season & during the competitive season when max training may be too time consuming to obtain could be beneficial for athletes to get them to where they need to be for the season. https://t.co/cb4nL65FrE
#PT582#RI I can definitely see some ethical issues arising from this & it could be considered “cheating” by some. I think it honestly depends on the situation & why the athletes are using Russian e-stem. (1/2)
@RobertGorman18#PT582#RG For safety, I feel like pt can progress their HEP when we can determine that they are doing great w/ what they currently have & that they've noticed changes/ have been able to safely conduct the HEP w/o injury / safety being put into question. (1/2)
#PT582#DA I have observed in a clinic with aquatic PT & they did utilize it for their CV pt's. I think some conditions to consider for this would be CAD/ MI/ TIA/ Stroke. W/ the hydrostatic pressure of the pool we need to be aware of what type of load we're putting them under.
#PT582#JT Based on evidence, therapy is super beneficial when it includes routes to ensure neuroplasticity. Pt pop. we can use this w/ include those w/ CNS injury/ DZ, mental/addictive disorders, peds developmental DZ, & neurodegenerative DZ

#PT582#JT I liked the locomotor training we saw in class & Neuro. This benefits the pt & creates a good environment for pts to gain correct sensory input to be processed by the spinal cord. Another benefit seen was the inc. excitability & improvement in overground tasks (1/2)
#PT582#KJ Short Answer: Yes!! EX can be so beneficial for those w/ depression & bc of its ability to reshape the brain & maintain hippocampus integ. I can see it promoting neuroplasticity. Light EX like yoga is beneficial

@jacquedompier I would definitely think, yes, especially since while researching PNF and carryover a lot of research was trying to minimize the effect of carryover. #PT582#JD
@jacquedompier I definitely agree with D1 and D2 for LE. I think there is potential to use D2 of UE extention. This could be beneficial in inducing stabilization & engaging the core in the movement of STS. Both are going to be important to pt safety when it comes to this activity. #PT582#JD
