@wakesler @emaine09 I also love this cue, taught it to my CI along with the weight bearing cue we learned in class

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@melboehler Was the SIJ involved? If so, what was your treatment?

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@R_Grims Saw a TKA on a clinical, surprised how the surgeon did his work with to rock music & the things he talked about during surgery

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Deconditioned pt. with fibromyalgia/anxiety and previous mild stroke, interesting that line between encouraging activity & not overdoing it

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Utilized Fisher's fav weight bearing/hip ext cue & contralateral heel contact cue c pt post stroke, pt loading limb more & more natural gait

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Eval on surgical resident c ACL reconstruction. Said surgery made him understand what pts. are feeling. Empathy so important in healthcare

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@MelissaDeweySPT If the task is important to the patient, their recovery, or safety… I don't think it's bad spending more time on it

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@chachalilly @aimBrightPT Pt. c chronic pain came in feeling good. Opportunity 2 link 2 getting mind off pain c b-day party & incr. activity

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@gant_sierra Agreed. It's good not underestimate how difficult we should make our exercises based on the age on a chart.

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Pt. 6 mo. post stroke Max A transfers. Difficulty flexing hip, but able to walk length of parallel bars c external cueing to kick my foot.

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Pt. reported L abdominal pain during pilates, UPA to T12-L1 reproduced symptoms. A hypothesis CI & I discussed, surprised nonetheless.

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Diverse cases fri. BPPV, chronic pain, shoulder pain…CI & I surprised to find final pt. post stroke & unable to walk, advocated for more PT

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@k_consiglio I agree, best kind of learning. As long as you don't focus on what you did wrong, but what you can do better next time.

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Building pt. rapport - Pt reports he has had 13 surgeries. CI: If you get the 14th stamped on your frequent buyer card, the 15th is free!

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@AmberGainesSPT @aimBrightPT Agree c Amber. I have had this dilemma before. Balance (1) irrit. + sev. (2) will it change treatment course?

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@gant_sierra Agreed, body not evolved to spend so much time sedentary/poor erganomics at desks, "smart" body finds most passive way to hang

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Learning importance of empowering its with chronic pain to move into scary places without fear and not fostering dependence on provider

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

Alter my subjective approach when pt has tracheostomy tube or other issues verbalizing. Yes/No Qs, gestures, mouthing words,+written #PT581

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

It's difficult to see a motivated pt set back by new restrictions to weight bearing. But I was inspired by his resilience! #PT581

[Kevin Boise @KevinBoise1]

@tault24 Didn't know you were in the NICU today. How cool! #PT581
