Check out new companion pieces from Duke’s OMPT Fellowship in JMMT exploring why treatment effects in MSK care are often small in clinical trials. Helpful reads on trial design, interpretation, and application!

Both part one and two of "why our treatment effects in MSK are so small" are out. Authored by the Duke MT Fellowship leaders. These are the papers I wish I had access to early in my career. https://t.co/gYldGOgrGF and https://t.co/KwC8OaGTVD

[Andréas Remis, DPT @AndreasRemis]

Our new open-access JMMT publications unpack why small effect sizes are common in musculoskeletal trials, and what this means for clinicians.

Presented on Spine-Related Lower Extremity Pain at AAOMPT, sharing a PT perspective on the 2023 IASP consensus definitions.

Grateful for the thoughtful discussion that followed. Aligning on terminology enhances precision in PT management and strengthens collaboration.

Newly published JOSPT case study describing patient with gait abnormality presenting to PT from surgeon referral with suspected etiology of old toe fracture. PT evaluation revealed undiagnosed neurological signs, resulting in initiation of workup that led to MS diagnosis.

Excited to share this @medpagetoday second opinion on 5 things LBP patients need from their doctors. https://t.co/lzLlx7gcay.

Is a PT residency the “make or break” deal those that don’t match make it?

Perhaps the result is the current best path?

Fantastic read on Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) by an all-star author team! Key takeaways: Symptoms can be episodic, UMN/LMN signs may coexist with C-radic, UMN signs more likely w/ advanced cases. Assess gait impairment & hand clumsiness!

[Cody Ballay @cody_ballay]

Great read from @PMintkenDPT & team! I've never had a patient feel satisfied with a dx of non-specific LBP. They make a strong case for linking pain to key structure & function impairments (e.g. LBP w/ mobility deficits). The worst pain? Unexplained pain. https://t.co/KnqiLBdtQN

[Cody Ballay @cody_ballay]

Helpful listen as always from @erikMeira! Key takeaways: quad isometrics ASAP at 60 or 90 deg (better than quad sets/SLR due to quad length), keep the knee happy, give or take BFR/NMES, expand your patients sandbox as rehab allows!

Residency and fellowship trained clinicians in an ambulatory rehab setting produced more annual financial return than non-residency or fellowship graduates.
