@ogsvg AI written nonsense with hallucinated references throughout.

@GregLehman I honestly couldn't do it the full cross-bracing protocol.
It's like a weird claustrophobic feeling, but just in the leg.

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

Anyone who even thinks about putting someone on the #crossbracing protocol following #ACL rupture should be forced to spend at least 24hours with their knee fixed to 90°.

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

Do any of my Australian colleagues have a go-to NEMS machine to support early quads activation with their #ACL athletes?

I'm struggling to find a reliable, cost-effective option.

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

@thomaskffmn @GregLehman @NickKyrgios Must be some pretty minimal stability issues if two unconnected straps that don't cross the knee joint line make a difference 🤷

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

Can anyone explain the function of this tape for @NickKyrgios?

No connecting tape at the back or sides.
Something quads tendon related?

I am looking for academics or practitioners with expertise in sport & exercise psychology, behaviour change, or performance psychology to help develop a new first-year subject.

Development runs Jan–May 2026.

This is not a zero-sum game. It's okay to raise men up, while also supporting women's challenges.

November 19 is International Men's Day.

The UN doesn't observe International Men's Day or any other day for boys/men.

The UN observes 13 days for girls/women and several days for languages, sports, animals, and outer space.

Looking forward to reading this one.

Officially published💥 A reboot to the pain field! The aphorism that “nociception is neither necessary nor sufficient for pain” has caused a lot of damage to patients and set back the field.

This paper was not easy to publish and was rejected by all the major pain journals for obvious reasons of bias and suspected vested interests. Eventually, BRAIN which has more than double the impact of any pain journal identified the true potential and implications of the paper 💪🏻

The paper is a systematic and critical review. The systematic part identified that all those who cited the aphorism had no references to back this claim and they mostly just cited themselves circularly. The critical part covers EVERY piece of supposed empirical evidence that was ever presented as evidence for pain without nociception and shows that none stand critical scrutiny.

The main and most important implication of the paper is that if we accept that “Nociception is necessary but not sufficient for pain”, then all pain states are fundamentally explainable and have somatic basis. The notion of “psychological pain” or “brain pain” should be shunned and binned.

Excited to be developing this knee at Torrens.

Interesting observation.

3. Dawkins’ Law of the Conservation of Difficulty:
The easier an academic field, the more it will try to preserve its difficulty by using complex jargon. Physicists use simple terms if possible, while postmodern theorists try to complexify their discipline by writing like this:

@arielhelwani Surely Islam isn't the double champ unless he wins the 170 belt before Ilia & Charles fight during IFW?

Otherwise he won't be holding two belts at the same time to be double champ, he'll have just been a champ in different weight divisions.

Our new BJSM publication 🆕 🦶

We achieved consensus for the key diagnostic domains and conditions you should consider when assessing Achilles tendinopathy.

A huge thank you to all 50+ authors 👏

@JimmyDavis_x I'm surprised to see Handson last in the preferential voting. It looks like they'd have a fair bit of policy crossover.

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

Hi @grok, do you have an opinion on this?

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

Since @mendeley_com moved from a desktop app to an online platform, it's been horrible to use.

I'm thinking of ripping the band-aid off and moving to @zotero.

Would appreciate hearing people's experience with Zotero.

#phdlife #research

[Tim Trevail @Trevail]

@MitchTGibbs @mendeley_com @zotero Look like the right move. Cheers Mitch.
