Congrats Lindsey!! So proud of you! Excited for your new adventure.🐱🎓🎉 #Catgrad21

@RecarteAdabelle Effective patient communication is a skill that evolves with practice. I think it is most important to remind ourselves of the goal of each conversation before engaging with the pt. Here are some other tips as well! https://t.co/weBT1BfndZ

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

This review of EBM in pt. care had great tips: Seek out pre-appraised evidence (systematic reviews/meta-analyses) & integrate w/ clinical experience + considerations specific to the pt. To empower informed pt. choice: establish trust & educate.

@AlexJacobs_SPT From what we have learned & the evidence @ColleenDrisSPT & @NathanTurley4 shared, I would use NMES to prevent atrophy in immobilized areas or with SEVERE weakness. Otherwise, I’d choose ther ex to encourage hypertrophy and neurological adaptation in the 🧠 & at the NMJ #AJ #PT582

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

Shoulder NMES in combo w/ PT has been shown to have positive effects on pts. w/ post-stroke hemiplegia. A good technique for start of rehab to⬆️muscle hypertrophy & ⬇️subluxation risk in pts. who have difficulty w/ neural activation of muscles. #AJ #PT582

@BiesemeyerEllie @NAUPT582 The concussive gait of a horse promotes velocity change & improves reactive and anticipatory balance in riders. This is a fun activity w/ benefits for stimulating postural muscle engagement/adjustment in pts. w/ DS who demonstrate low tone.

This research suggests that a forefoot or midfoot-strike pattern can increase the load on the Achilles tendon by 48x per mile vs. a rearfoot-strike pattern. Something to consider when treating runners and prescribing dosage for return to sport.

For inexperienced pts., preconceived ideas of exercise being too difficult or "scary" might hinder their progress. Our role is to help show pts. what they are capable of and that small changes can make a huge difference. Patience is🔑#PT582 #RT

This article contains recommended creatine supplementation protocols for both increasing and maintaining muscle creatine stores. The research also suggests that creatine may aid in the recovery from more intense training bouts. #KD #PT582

Thank you for the engagement this #TwitterThursday as we discussed the many applications of neuroplasticity within physical therapy treatment! #PT582 #JT

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@SaraKni80449195 Yes! Warm-ups are great to induce an environment suited for motor learning to take place. I also like how this source recommends rest between cognitive exercises. It is just as important for our brain to recover as our muscles!

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@JordynMaxwell2 Great evidence for the use of neuroplasticity in post-stroke pts! To supplement this Tx., a technique called CIMT involves restricting the use of the uninvolved upper extremity in order to increase function of the involved side in stroke pts. #PT582 #JT https://t.co/wR2w49VrpG

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@DBlair_NAUSPT Super interesting find, Dylan! Do you think this could also translate into the development of functional skills (i.e. object manipulation) for pts. with stroke? #PT582 #JT

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

Excited to see some interesting perspectives and evidence as we discuss #neuroplasticity this Twitter Thursday! #PT582 #JT

@HaydenHoekstra @manderslat #JT #PT582

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@HaydenHoekstra @manderslat also mentioned the fact that so many variables can be changed to target neuroplasticity. How much variability is effective within one session? Within the course of treatment?

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@Riley_shae98 A great point! Are there any specific aspects of neuroplasticity you have seen that you are excited to try with your future patients? #PT582 #JT

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@RobertGorman18 Agreed! All pts. can benefit from neuroplastic training! It is up to us to modify the Tx. for specific pt. goals. This article talks about the psychological side of neuroplasticity for athletes returning to sport. An interesting read! #PT582 #JT

@TsaiJames_ Great point! Timing is key for us to provide healthcare at indispensable value for our pts. #PT582 #JT

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@HubbertKaytlin This was an awesome study that looked at task-variability and PT feedback in a locomotor training program overground vs. treadmill training. This combines many ideas we have been covering as we learn to design a rehab program. Check it out! #PT582 #JT

[Jessica Teply @JessicaTeply]

@kolbyareed @KristenD_SPT Check out this article considering the duration and intensity of aerobic exercise shown to contribute to neuroplasticity. What kind of patients would you try this with? Would high intensity be appropriate for stroke pts?
