@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 PT’s can implement upper limb resistance training into workout regiments to improve aerobic capacity/inspiratory muscle strength and subsequently QOL in Pt’s with respiratory issues such as COPD —> https://t.co/PwZYza2Vha #group7 #pathnews

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 PT’s are highly trained in modalities such as e-stim. Abdominal functional electrical stimulation may improve strength of contraction, helping our SCI Pt’s increase FVC and PEF to improve breathing and QOL. https://t.co/5hoZOeFbJT #Pathnews18 #group6

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @NbaileySPT @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle @DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Pain from OA could cause Pt’s to become more sedentary. Low intensity, manual therapy such as PNF training would be a great way to maintain joint health by improving muscle strength and nutrient profusion. https://t.co/uBbKxc1RnW #group5#pathnews

Breath Stacking Technique for ALS - Demo by Ron https://t.co/YxDhLWP7bv via @YouTube @DPTPathophy2018 @KPelfrey_SPT Here is a visual example of Air-Stacking in a person with ALS!

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@KPelfrey_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 As ALS progresses, respiratory issues worsen, which can cause lower oxygen availability to the Pt’s muscle. This could also cause fatigue and lower energy. Air-stacking has shown to increase inspiration capacity and vital capacity thus decreasing hypoxia. https://t.co/IRnIKw792u

@TaylanJadeSPT I’m not entirely sure if my link was available in my post so here it is one more time. https://t.co/DTu5jBtBp0

@TaylanJadeSPT Decreasing this spasticity would subsequently play a huge role in increasing functional ROM to also improve these patients ADL’s (like dressing) which would improve overall QOL too!—>-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.courseinfo.wssu.edu/pmc/articles/P… #group3 #Pathnews18

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@TaylanJadeSPT @TaylanJadeSPT @DPTPathophy2018 As the PT, we could possibly integrate spinal manipulations (SM) to decrease spasticity in patients with CP to improve QOL. SM’s may influence afferent neuron firing to change mm spindle/GTO firing patterns.

@DPTPathophy2018 As we all know cancer is a hot topic in modern medicine. Please describe how a physical therapist could play a role in further boosting one of the following subsections in this article https://t.co/7QARSWZMBL #Pathnews18 #Group2

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 I really like the point you make here, I’m a huge advocate for naturally stimulating our bodies pain inhibitors as compared to ingesting analgesics. Furthermore, orally ingested analgesics could also have negative side effects on the body, which our PT’s with CA don’t need.

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

As the physical therapist, emplimenting EXS for a patient with cancer can act as a preventative measure. The article linked discusses the relationship of chemotherapy with the prevalence of bone fx/osteoporosis in these patients.https://t.co/kxNdAykXRS

@j_felt @SPTTravisIsaac @DPTPathophy2018 By increasing the strength in our patients we would enable more force to be engaged on our bone—>increasing bone density/strength, and possibly decreasing the chance for diseases like osteoporosis. This follows what we learned in Biomechanics!

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@JordanRod_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 Exactly, this is a great perspective to take on this subject. I feel like someone with cancer, especially higher stages of cancer would certainly gain a level of empowerment from being able to get more active even if it doesn’t prove to have any physiological effect on their CA.

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 I forgot to mention how we (as PT’s) can be an influence for the point I brought up. Overall, we could improve our patients cardiopulmonary health through moderate aerobics to subsequently increase SV/contraction of the heart and possibly increase those nutrients to the brain!

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 Prolonged low SBP in the elderly population may attribute to increased risk factors for getting AD by causing hypoperfusion to the brain, thus decreasing various vital nutrients to it ->https://t.co/bqUkwJpqDq #group1

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@DPTPathophy2018 PART 2) There is research (i will link), that shows how low intensity EXS can also negate the side effects of PD. Not all elderly people with PD will have the motivation to do high intensity EXS regularly so its important that we have a broader range of EXS programs for them.

[Hunter_GrubbsSPT @HunterGrubbs5]

@DPTPathophy2018 PART 1)Initial stages of EXS gains are due to increased neuromuscular firing taking place. These subjects started from an untrained aspect, so the gains they saw could have been from increased neuromuscular retraining, subsequently improving strength and balance.
