There’s no consensus on protein intake for #sarcopenia but, when exercising, 1.2g protein per kg is recommended. How many of our older adults in rehab achieve this? 🤔 Really interesting talk from @NJCoxGeriDoc @GeriSoc #BGSconf

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.

They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: https://t.co/vwNGQN2wqU

@AvantiWestCoast Thanks for the quick response- just wondering why so late as the 11th are for sale now? Thanks!

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@AvantiWestCoast when will tickets be released/ timetable confirmed for 13.4.24 please? Thanks!

A period of declining public satisfaction with the health and care system has brought with it a whole host of myths claiming to explain why we're in this situation. With this in mind, we've debunked some of the top myths that feature in this debate. 💬 https://t.co/I0LIsGrnGM

[Movement for Health @MovementfHealth]

Delighted to hear from @ActiveScotGov about their commitment and support for a systems-based approach to physical activity in Scotland.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Where to even start with this…

Minister Damian Green was sacked following allegations re porn on his parliamentary PC

He’s now been recruited to oversee the Online Safety Bill

To replace Julian Knight who recused himself while police investigate allegations of sexual assault.

No.
These people likely have #delirium, exacerbated by the fact they are in an unfamiliar setting. They need the time, correct skill mix & community support to be discharged HOME.

They will get lost in this beyond broken system & remain in care forever. https://t.co/sgTp0IuW1t

@DrBenLovell Not only poor for patients who end up in the wrong clinic but now the specialist clinics are full of people in the wrong place, wasting clinic capacity also resulting in longer wait lists. Let's not underestimate the skill of knowing who to refer to and in what timeframe!

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@DrTADM I wear asics goretex trainers, available in plain black or various colours. Comfy and most importantly, waterproof (I learned waterproof was the way when someone's catheter bag hadn't been closed properly and my toes got wet 🤢).

@DailyJLee My personal favourite- "now that covid is finished" 🤨

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@banjobounce @DDawnOT Absolutely! I feel like as a clinician I can make this judgement but thought it would be really helpful to be able to have actual evidence to support my decision making. Looks like my RQ is on the right road! So glad I asked the question here!

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

Question for all the physios/ exercise professionals about frailty....How frail is too frail for resistance training? When someone's nutritional intake is minimal do you look to optimise nutrition before looking to add muscle strength training?

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@banjobounce @DDawnOT This is the angle I am coming from- at what point does resistance exercise or indeed exercise beyond functional activities/ movement/ mobility become counter productive?

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@Dr_Stauffer_PT Thanks for replying. Nope not assuming, using frailty scores and clinical assessment tools. Re: eating disorders this is an association I am exploring as while the reasons for the low BMI are very diff the impact is physiologically similar.

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@sarahdebiase @elevatingEBP @dementia_physio @Claire_Minshull @JanetThomas47 Wow thank you @sarahdebiase! Will get into these! Am developing RQ for a systematic review and was doubting my thinking but all these responses have reassured me that I am on a good path! Enjoy time off!

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@elevatingEBP @TheFuelPhysio I’m thinking of patients who have a very poor daily caloric intake and their BMI is declining and they have been assessed as at risk of or being sarcopenic. With these patients is resistance training actually effective? Or are we just increasing a calorie deficit?

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@elevatingEBP @TheFuelPhysio Thank you @elevatingEBP I have experience of clear guidance on exercise for patients suffering from an eating disorder and with pre-morbid over exercising behaviours vs. a frail older adult pop. who have similarly low BMI and a history of under exercising behaviours.

[Elainethephysio @eephysio1]

@JanetThomas47 @elevatingEBP @dementia_physio @Claire_Minshull Thank you for sharing your thoughts @JanetThomas47 much appreciated! Was starting to doubt my thinking!

@elevatingEBP @dementia_physio @Claire_Minshull @JanetThomas47 I hope none of you mind me tagging you, thought you might have some thoughts on this?
