@NAUPT582 Hmm would it depend on the patient and injury.? I would use isometric for lower functioning pts. good option for loading muscle

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@MoshierKelseyPT #PT582 I believe if the exercise is simple & low load you still get eccentric benefits. But proper form is 1st priority!

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #CC Interesting article on preventing overuse in young athletes. At risk population = kids pushed too hard! https://t.co/gCSns4s3jX

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #CC PTs can address overuse injury prevention by observ. gait, posture, sport performance. It should be an athletes regular follow-up

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #MF I would start with eccentric load exercises, see how the patient responds, does it help their pain? Then try other modalities…

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #CC Overuse injuries are preventable, PTs can educate ppl on improper techniques and training errors that take a toll on the body.

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@Ldprovo I guess I would wait for the patient to bring it up and then ask if they want more info .. Other ideas?

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #LP On the other hand, since Alzheimer’s is a little scary, be careful not to upset your patient by bringing it up!

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #LP IF the pt wants to know more, inform them – this will help us to be super knowledgeable PTs practicing at the top of our license!

#PT582 #MD Here’s an interesting article on older adults adherence to group exercise programs… https://t.co/wpPLt9EgSn

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

#PT582 #KW Group exercise promotes adherence to a fitness regime – encourage pt’s to enroll in programs with friends/family at discharge!

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #JR Offer a variety of non-drug approaches for pain control, and build a relationship of trust with your patient

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #CW Listening to the pt, we pick up on subtle things that give them happiness/hope– focus future conversations on these

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@DKaushagen @ptKtMullen #NAUPT582 Also make standing desks more affordable for everyone!!

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #AE Encourage the pt to consciously practice technique during all ADL’s in mult. environments – soon it will become habit.

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #DK By manipulating the environment, we can change body mechanics – such as higher desks promoting thoracic extension!

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #MM Slow progression into water for aqua therapy– starting treatment in shallow water (more load on body), then deep waters

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #RT I like the idea of the pt arriving at the answer on their own with only subtle guidance, promoting a sense of control

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #SP As PTs we know enough about the body to provide the service of manips – practice makes perfect.

[Anna Knorr @annak651]

@NAUPT582 #PT582 #KW We need to communicate and collaborate with chiro’s rather than competition – think of the patient!
