What comes first? Research or innovation?
IMO, research should be before and after innovation.

Neither the best nor the worst course I completed, but you can take something out of every course you attend. Keep your mind open… learning is for life.

@stevekamper1 @Blazey85 @Gonzalez_JT @JOSPT Thank you for taking the time to answering me Steve! I surely read this! Have a nice week 👍

[diego mendez @diegohmendez]

@Gonzalez_JT @JOSPT Hahaha… thank you Javier!

In terms of injury prevention or risk factor identification (my area of interest), I don’t think we could reach a cause-effect relationship due to the complexity of injury’s etiology. I think this is why there are too few studies like this.

[diego mendez @diegohmendez]

@Gonzalez_JT @JOSPT You are 100% right. What do you think about this statement by Kamper (2020)? I don’t agree but I am far from being a specialist in methodology.

Actualmente se sugiere un enfoque que considere el tiempo de curación natural para el RTP en lesiones de isquiotibiales. Los autores sugieren un período mínimo de 4 semanas antes del RTP, integrando el tiempo de curación biológica a los criterios actuales de retorno al deporte.

Sports physiotherapy is not only related to rehabilitation. Injury prevention helps increase performance by increasing player availability.

2023 - All our players finished the year with a better ranking than the start. Most of them achieved their best ranking.

Three hierarchical pyramids for the approach to patellar tendinopathy:
1) The first one made of with responses to a survey on social media
2) The second one considering the available evidence
3) The one that I usually follow and fits my biases

[diego mendez @diegohmendez]

🎾 Registering and analyzing data throughout the year is a key element in the injury prevention puzzle.

Each professional decide which data collect according to each sport. The best data is the one that helps you the most to make decisions.

Estoy armando una pirámide jerárquica de los diferentes tipos de abordajes kinésicos para la tendinopatia patelar para una charla, y me gustaría recolectar opiniones de la comunidad kinésica en las redes.

La lectura de los diseños de reporte de caso nos ayuda a conocer estrategias de tratamiento en patologías que no son comunes de ver, o tratamientos ya conocidos que son aplicados en contextos no convencionales.
