People with AxSpA please help shape my research! Help Physio's be better at identifying AxSpA. Complete this 2 minute survey. 🙏 @NASSexercise @MySpondylitis @NASSchiefexec please retweet / reX?? https://t.co/W0CR7ZeP6X

@physiojack Why don't conventional DMARDs like MTX work on spinal inflammatory disease?

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@kmcnabbphysio @PaulMintyPT @MariaBeSanchez @mehab_jo @BarbHoogie @physiojack @Claire_Minshull @MMUPhysio_Res @ProfNeilReeves @UKHipNetwork @dt_hughes Done. I'd score higher for the dynamometer but our health board took ours away as it didn't have CE marking.

@BristolNASS @ZoeClarkOsteo @PhysioWillGreg @carol_mccrum @physiojack @VersusArthritis please share. I'd like people living with AxSpA to help shape physiotherapy research.

@ClementsCharl96 This is excellent but I think we should be cautious with any screening tool. We don't know how effective binary answers are for a complex disease and person. A lot depends on the question and interpretation of the answer. I think we are falsely reassured by - ve responses.

@beans2er Ah I'll miss you, I'm covering ortho this weekend! Best of luck with the rehab.

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@DrJN_SportsMed I think it has value, particularly for clinicians that don't regularly test ACLs. The test result is yes/no (then LR+ interpreted). Lachmans requires more experience, skill and subjective interpretation. I'd wager there's more false -ve Lachmans than LT in physio ax.

Some excellent info for Physio's working with patients who have inflammatory arthritis.

[Rheumatology & Rheumatology Advances in Practice @RheumJnl]

We’re thrilled to publish the first special issue of Rheumatology Advances in Practice! Guest edited by the wonderful @lindsaybearne, it explores ‘Exercise as medicine: physical activity and exercise in inflammatory arthritis’✨

@Retlouping That thought for the day is lovely. I have already badly plagiarised it and tried to pass it off as my own wisdom it to a new PT today.

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@mickwhughes I didn't know about these, thank you! Agree, we need to focus on appropriate / normative data not LSI. Work the uninjured leg hard!

Our new free online physical activity / #exercise e-Learning courses are now online from #EULAR2022 #eularHPR. Excellent collaborative work from the IMPACT-RMD Consortium to deliver them @MoeRikke @eular_org

@pdkirwan I'm rubbish at twitter but don't seem to be able to DM you

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@LPhysioprof @carol_mccrum @esther_will @PhysioMACP @NeilOConnell @APPN_physio @MindyCairns Thanks, will do. I don't know what goes on with my twitter I can't seem to DM some people too!

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@sancho_igor 👍 You're making me feel bad, I don't have kids and I'm still worried about my time! Especially interested in how remote PhD worked?

[Chris Walsh @christgwalsh]

@pdkirwan Thank you, would love to take 10 minutes of your time. I'll send you a DM 🙏
