@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Critically ill patients living w/ respiratory disorders are often deconditioned & live w/ dyspnea. As PTs its our job to maintain muscle strength. Neuromuscular estim on peripheral muscles provides a passive way to enhance strength while avoiding exacerbated dyspnea.

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 from the urethra, reinforcing the mechanism of UI. PTs can help strengthen thru pelvic floor exercises, vaginal cones, & endovaginal estim. Here’s a great observational study on how PT can help with UI.. https://t.co/1AalvMl1dV #pathnews18

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 One of the main objectives of pelvic health therapy is to increase urethral resistance & to re-est the functional support of the pelvic organs. Appropriate contractions of these mm contribute positively to improving tonus and to the transmission of the pressure

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Obesity has a pathological effect on OA. OA exists in highly metabolic and inflammatory environments of adiposity & Cytokines influence OA thru local inflammatory processes. This is why as PTs, we est. exercise programs & educate pts on lifestyle changes. https://t.co/fZATbDvgC1

@j_felt @KPelfrey_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 We can prescribe strengthening exercises combined with diaphragmatic breathing to increase oxygenation and energy availability. We can also perform manual therapy to manipulate tight mm and joints to help them relax and reduce tension in the body which commonly leads to fatigue.

@KPelfrey_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 Fatigue is a common factor of ALS & respiratory failure could be an underlying factor. Respiratory failure indicates combined degeneration of central respiratory centers and motor neurons contributing to the phrenic nerve. As PTs we could work on respiratory mgmt with our pts.

@TaylanJadeSPT @DPTPathophy2018 CP presents thru unusual muscle tone. As PTs we can use the therapeutic use of low-level estim to stimulate muscle movement and restore useful movements such as standing or stepping is an effective way to target and strengthen spastic muscles.

@HunterGrubbs5 @DPTPathophy2018 Cancer could lead to many different symptoms including: neuropathy, cramps, spasms, and weakness. As PTs we can use manual therapy, gentle exercise, or e-stim to alleviate symptoms. By alleviating pain we could eliminate or reduce need for opioid meds! https://t.co/fRNzJXl0TM

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 Research has shown that hypertension may ultimately lead to amyloid deposition & degeneration of neuron cells in the brain. So it is important to manage BP, which we as therapists, can do through exercise. https://t.co/nEsjG8TvSI… #pathnews

@DPTPathophy2018 Exercise releases dopamine & allows for a more efficient use at the molecular level. A study done on animals found that exercise improves efficiency by modifying areas where there are more places for dopamine to bind with a stronger signal. https://t.co/g92UPoB7ei
