Has anyone reviewed validation for “Bouclier Croisé”, an app by Dr. Paul Martin (orthopaedic surgeon, MUHC/McGill, QC) aiming to flag ACL injury risk via “knee weakness” screening? If there are papers or validation data, please share. Would love @GregLehman’s perspective.
Physios…
You don’t need to be a doctor to ask your patients what medicines they take. 💊
You don’t need to be a dietitian to ask what they eat and drink regularly. 🍔
You don’t need to be a sleep specialist to ask how they’re sleeping. 😴
You don’t need to be an exercise physiologist to ask how much they move in a week. 🏃♂️
You don’t need to be a social worker to ask who’s supporting them at home. 🏡
You don’t need to be a psychiatrist to ask how they’re feeling! 🧠
STOP hiding behind “scope of practice” as an excuse to NOT have basic human conversations with your patients!
Every clinic in the world that has invested in shockwave ultrasound equipment: “It’s great, it works!”
This good quality new double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled clinical trial: “NOPE.”

Just met a 60 yr old man - 18/12 ago told to stop running by GP and Orthopod as it would wear out his knees - he had knee pain and OA on MRI. I advised to get strong and keep running. He said he is now running faster than 10 yrs ago - with no pain 😀. The human body is so cool.
@GregLehman I need help lol They challenge the articles concerning the handling of loads, saying that they are talking about the handling of people. We agree that for a debate on compressive or shearing forces on back structures... it seems to me that we could consider the person as a load?
I would like to have the opinion of experts on this article cited by a public health organization in Quebec which shares health and safety training and which promotes the dangers for workers in lifting loads during their work days https://t.co/psW5qtKJlM @GregLehman@AdamMeakins
@GregLehman Their rsp "major risk factors recognized for msk disorders of the back are excessive efforts, asymmetrical efforts, cumulative efforts and sudden efforts. Bending helps to increase effort on the back, hence the importance of keeping the back as neutral as possible as we teach"

For years we’ve been told that low to moderate alcohol intake could be safe and even sometimes beneficial for us in the case of red wine.
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA of over 100 studies and nearly 5 million people found otherwise.
They found no significant reductions in risk of all-cause mortality for drinkers who drank less than 25 grams of ethanol per day (2 drinks), and there was a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams per day and among male drinkers who drank 45 or more grams per day.
We’ve also since learned that many of the pro-alcohol studies were (unsurprisingly) funded by the alcohol industry, and we’ve seen other studies showing that moderate consumption of alcohol can increase the risk for cancers of the breast, esophagus, head, and neck, and are also linked to high blood pressure and a serious heart arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation.
While this may not be the most popular study to share, it’s important to know about it. I like to use this information to make mindful choices about how much alcohol I consume in the context of a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
What benefits have you noticed from reducing your alcohol consumption?

Telling someone that their back pain is due to their brain is no better than telling someone their back pain is due to their misaligned pelvis!
Both are reductionist! Both are bullshit!

Are you anti manual therapy Gregio?
No
I’m anti the rigamarole bunk that surrounds it making it seem more elevated than it is.
I want clinicians to realize how simple it is to avoid years of imposture syndrome.
I want so called “master clinicians” to spread this humility
