@lime6889 @ENelson_PT I like this idea! Hadn't considered this! #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@tmcPTstudent @dikaliris_IHP @CaitlinFitzPT True! I sometimes write notes about what they say in subjective to jog my memory #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

It's OK not to get all data at eval, especially if the pt is in a lot of pain-- better for PT-pt relationship to defer some tests #clined

@LMPT_student 1st tx is this week; planning to try Mulligan MWM since it had good evidence for ROM/functional gains p sprains #ihppt #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@LMPT_student Did that once w pt who muscle guards. Useful as a way to check if muscle or jt capsule is limiting ROM #clined #ihppt

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Had an experience w hypoglycemic pt w diabetes. Gave juice, did manual instead of therex, teaching moment on monitoring gluc #ihppt #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Severe ankle sprains can present w HYPOmobility in capsular pattern. Hemarthrosis causes jt stiffening #ihppt #clined

@ptstudent84 @kelljmont @JohnSoberal_IHP @thejuligan BRILLIANT! Love the schedule idea, though pts are often late, bet that's hard #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@CaitlinFitzPT @PTladyF @ekatzmark @SCrose @JoeParkerMGHIHP @balban_pt We also consider pt pref when planning D/C date #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Anyone else work with ATs? We have one who refers a lot of high school athletes. Very knowledgeable about Therex etc #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

We leave notes about pts if another PT(A) is covering. Helps to have notes to go off of #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@roberta_brehm That sound ideal! Chronic pain is so hard to tx that I'm sure it helps to have a whole team! #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@ekatzmark I've heard of surgeons like that! Some only send pts if they're doing poorly at follow-up #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@KeshrieN @PTstoodent I've had good luck talking to PAs if it's a simple request. Tend to be less busy than MDs (sometimes) #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@FurrayCohen Not a lot, just this rTSA (pt had a fall, reg TSA and then rTSA yrs later) and 1 of my pts had reg TSAs in PMH 2/2 OA

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Important to educate pts about the expected outcomes of surgery. Ex: reverse TSA may only get 105+• of arm elevation #clined #ihpPT

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

@LMPT_student Saw one eval for post-concussion/whiplash and one tx since then so still learning! Thx for whiplash articles! #clined #ihpPT

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Have had good response to relaxation training for a pt w TMJ pain. Often tension in face/neck and life stress contribute #ihpPT #clined

[Lauren Slipp @PTstudent101]

Another advancement in concussion screening on the sidelines http://t.co/PHjRbjx0i7 #ihpPT #clined

@ptstudent84 @Amy_Ship At eval we ask pts to wear tanks or loose sleeves (UE) or shorts/capris (LE) to access skin during followups #clined
