Rehab after an anterior shoulder disloc'n should be targeted more to the POSTERIOR cuff eg the SSp/ISp & not the SSc http://t.co/sGMRzyDuA7

Review: when taking multiple 🏋️‍♀️ sets to failure 🥵 , there is a large initial strength drop; then, muscle strength plateaus at approximately 40% of baseline: https://t.co/ib5F2sJQTa

When you’re asked to localize the lesion in a patient with aphasia, do you suddenly feel speechless?

At a loss for words to categorize the type of aphasia?

Never fear—here is the decision tree for patients w/aphasia and the associated anatomic correlates

Three main questions:

1. Fluency? Nonfluency indicates damage to the FRONTAL language regions anterior to the fissure of Rolando

2. Comprehension? Impaired comprehension indicates damage to the TEMPOROPARIETAL language regions posterior to the fissure of Rolando

3. Repetition? Impaired repetition indicates damage within the core PERISYLVIAN language zone

The answers will lead you both to the type of aphasia and the location of the lesion.

Keep this figure with you for quick reference—and then when you’re asked about a patient with aphasia, you will have a lot to say!

Meta-analysis: use it or loose it:
-muscle 💪 disuse ➡️ greater decline in muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness 🫀than in muscle mass
-strength loss is 2.5 times faster vs muscle mass loss
