This is important - Whiplash often causes nerve injury that may explain long-standing symptoms. If ever you're told "you should be better by now" or "it's only a soft-issue injury, it should heal in n months", point to this research.

A new “old man shouting at clouds” tweetorial inspired by listening to a webinar last week which had the wrong information and assumptive reasoning regarding “Spondylolisthesis”. I propose people don’t know what they don’t know and spondylolisthesis is a good example.

This MA showed that a diagnostic cluster, pairing resisted hip ABD & palpation is a good place to start in the Dx of #GTPS . Together, these tests significantly increase or reduce probably of GTPS. The 30secSLS Test is useful in confirming a +ve diagnosis. @JOSPT @ASemciw

[Dr Alison Grimaldi @alisongrimaldi]

In this meta-analysis, pooled likelihood ratios indicated that palpation & resisted ABD were useful for both ruling in & out #GTPS . A +ve 30sec SLS Test & to a lesser degree, a +ve Resisted External Derotation/FADER-R Test can help rule in GTPS. @JOSPT @ASemciw

Day 22 of car lost by @TheRAC_UK Yet another broken promise that someone will get back to me. @TheRAC_UK where is my car. What are you doing? When should I call the police? @TheRAC_UK #thedrivingpeoplemadpeople

[Howard Turner @HowardMTurner]

@TheRAC_UK where is my car?? It is now 21 days(!!!!) since you "rescued" it and promised it back within 3-5 days. Your help desk can't find it, promised calls back don't happen and no one replies to my emails. Have you lost it?? Please let me know!??!!

[Howard Turner @HowardMTurner]

@keithgraham Happy Birthday fella. 10 years ahead of you and I promise you it gets better. (It doesn't get better, I'm just saying that to make you feel better 😊)

@PhysioMeScience @DrTobyHall That fits: George 2003: "Patients with lower fear-avoidance beliefs appeared to have more disability from fear-avoidance-based physical therapy, when compared to those receiving standard care physical therapy" https://t.co/h2MVYoQGeH

@gsingh1902 @UoLPhysio @Seth0Neill What? So they believe that poor outcome has absolutely nothing at all to do with the actual pathology?
