@ProgressiveRug Yet another appalling decision. The sport is becoming a mockery. Yes player welfare is important but this is just a rugby incident. There is nothing to be learnt with the ridiculous system of ‘tackle school’. Stop trying to control the uncontrollable elements of the game

Well this paper, certainly challenges my bias, excellent study, well designed, impressive list of contributors/authors. Really no surprise steroids outperforming placebo early, but differences at 6/24 months did surprise me, and no adverse reactions! https://t.co/h26jx3oSeU

@MRheumy @DavidGoyette @DrJN_SportsMed My understanding is the same as @DrJN_SportsMed the beneficial effect seems to be related to the steroid. This doesn’t mean it’s not an option though. Have you considered ESWT?

[Henrik Riel @Henrik_Riel]

Hot off the press! On ultrasound, the plantar fascia is significantly thicker when stretched in patients with plantar fasciopathy. Stretching the fascia was not associated with any changes in pressure pain thresholds. See the study here (open access): https://t.co/f1lWwNnOT8

if you missed the fantastic webinar on assessment and management of calf tears by @carlespedret then spend the time to listen to some great PEARLS on assessment and Mx https://t.co/Ys0nAiU4eZ @TheISEH However, if you don't have time, then I've summarised top take home tips below:

@physiojack @MRheumy @AStretch_Physio @RheumatologyUK @DrAiLynTan @KarlGaffney1 Brilliant summary of observations. I have definitely come across a few that you’ve listed. I think autoimmune disorders are under recognised across multiple professions. I have difficulty getting GPs on board with my referrals when I suspect autoimmune involvement in heel pain

[MSK Ultrasound @SMUGcourses]

Post achiles rupture, is #MSKUS required? Functional testing, symptoms presentation do not identify structural problems.When high level sports performance is required, failing to identify structural problems can compromise (long-term) functional outcome. #achilles #POCUS

Loving the new wall print logo 👌
