@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 This may elicit an overall balance of their CNS which may in turn have positive effects on their lungs, heart, and brain function.

@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 The Vagus Nerve of our PNS connects our brain, heart and lungs. As PTs we can teach our patients breathing techniques such as diaphragmatic or meditative breathing so that they can have some control over their PNS to relax in stressful situations.

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Using a laser can help heal and reduce neuropathic pain by non-invasively penetrating the skin and increasing blood flow to the nerve which increases O2 at the cellular level due to the stimulation of the microcirculation around the fibers of that nerve. #pathnews18

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle This study illustrates the positive affects that resistance exercise has on patients with OA. RX interventions can increase muscle strength, improve articular cartilage loading and rebalance leg muscle activation pattens which can all lead to OA symptom relief.

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle It also highlights the positive psychological affects that RX can have. Increasing strength and decreasing pain due to resistance workouts may ultimately decrease depression and anxiety that people with chronic OA often experience. #pathnews2018

@KPelfrey_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 A PT can help the patient learn to maneuver those ADs, and teach the patient and the caregivers proper techniques to protect the rest of the musculoskeletal system, like mobilizing/weight bearing exercises to prevent joint pain/degeneration due to prolonged sitting.

@TaylanJadeSPT I want to emphasize that both groups improved in gross motor function, however the children in the functional group improved more at functional task than the group who received PT to simply normalize gross motor function.

[Nicole Bailey @NbaileySPT]

@TaylanJadeSPT This study discusses the importance of the PT to plan care based on the patient's individual needs. Children who received functional physical therapy with an emphasis on motor skills needed in daily life improved more than those who received PT to normalize their motor function.

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 A patient who currently has Alzheimer's disease, or a family history, should be educated on how to lower their BP. As PTs we can teach the patient that with a healthy diet, moderate exercise, frequent screenings, and medications high BP can be decrease. @DPTPathophy2018

@DPTPathophy2018 Pilates based exercise can have a positive impact on PD patients when performed at large amplitudes and at high intensity. This helps the patient become aware of certain movements and reeducates them based on neurological connections to those movements.
