#clined #ihppt Diagnosing meniscal tears, look for cluster of pathology: pain end range flx and ext, + McMurray's, popping and clicking.

#clined #ihppt Pt's with shoulder pain that radiates medially across the clavicle benefit from SC and AC joint mobilizations.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@KeshrieN #clined it's a catchall, and then we eval and discover meniscal tears that need imaging, treat impairments, 1v1 MD for imaging etc

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@KeshrieN #clined the diagnosis guides, but it's often unspecified sprain of a region. It allows us to treat same day as injury.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@DonnaApplebaum @KeshrieN #clined Mostly medical, but they are able to handle checkouts/ins, HPEs, and a number of other tasks.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@KeshrieN #clined I've found that the medical diagnosis is often incorrect, but it's designed to get the pt's into PT as quickly as possible

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@KeshrieN @DonnaApplebaum #clined Medical assistants. They're fantastic and when we get swamped with same day evals they really help out.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@SpaceManMurray #clined I've held 1 on 1 meetings with dr's regarding pt's who would benefit from further imaging, orthotics, etc.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

#clined we also work closely with the MA's to perform HPEs (human performance evaluations), a fitness test required by workplaces.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

#clined We hold meetings with the dr's regarding pt progression, and they value our opinion greatly. It's a fantastic experience.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

#clined I just got back from work so I'm a bit late, but at my clinic we have md's in the same building and have a great relationship.

#clined #ihppt Active slump test can be used to detect dural nerve irritation in pt's with hx of spinal meningitis or thoracic pain.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

#clined #ihppt Pt's with decreased eversion/inversion benefit from distraction of the subtalar joint to restore quality of movement.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@PTstudent101 @murray_cohen @MikecavPTs #clined Mine does similar, but mostly for patella mobs.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@MLSAIL #clined my CI's boss did a medial and lateral glide at the knee to stabilize someone during exercise and it blew my mind!

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@CaitlinFitzPT #clined It's the way they learned in their fellowship and that it can be more comfortable and less tiring than the tibia.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@JohnSoberal_IHP @RSH_SPT #clined what's the reformer like?

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@murray_cohen @RSH_SPT #clined I can't wait to know how to do that!

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

#clined Here's a big one, we learned to mobilize the tibia for knee glides, but my CI and her boss mobilize the femur.

[Mario Urdaneta @SpaceManMurray]

@RSH_SPT #clined with my help we were able to see enough pt's to get a total gym upgrade. It comes in next week and I'm excited to try it!
