@AflGlicko If you think that’s bad, you should check how often Essendon have to travel away from Melbourne for the rest of the year.

@LukePerraton @MonashUni @Monash_Physio Congrats @LukePerraton. Well done 🙌

A must read for my lab
Thanks @TaijaFinni for this!
Looking forward to your visit in June @UDtendongroup

Was a pleasure to assist @mattskenny with this important work. Logically, adherence should be tracked in trials investigating the effect of exercise intervention, yet <50% assess this.

[Matthew Kenny @mattskenny]

Happy to announce my first paper is now officially up online.
Big thanks to @DrPeteMalliaras and my co-authors @MonashMRU

Exercise adherence
👉 only assessed in 47% of trials
👉 when assessed 21% didn't report their results
...and more

1/10: Tweetorial on Ph.d education. A PhD is a research education, but it can encompass many different things. I have created a list of things that PhD students in our group train & experience during their degree. Do you have other items that we should add to our list?

[JOSPT Community @JOSPT]

#AchillesTendon problems can be broken down into four distinctive sub-groups:

Activity-Dominant
Function-Dominant
Psychosocial-Dominant
and Structure-Dominant

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

What tests can we do for patients with Achilles Tendinopathy? Here are some options covering strength, endurance, plyometric ability, pain and function. What would you add? 🤔

[Matthew Kenny @mattskenny]

@steve_8rown @runcandice Try seated calf raise or standing calf raise with knee bent.

[Matthew Kenny @mattskenny]

@LennartBentsen There is some interesting work on Vagus nerve and the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis. Human trials starting soon. https://t.co/zO1aFVz6Co

An interesting look into the plantar load in maximalist shoes:

"maximalist cushion footwear decreases plantar loading under the total foot and forefoot during running"
