As a clinician... I HATE STATISTICS... but understanding them better makes me a better physio!

These are two very useful, easy to read, short papers that give an overview of the essentials!

An eye-opening article from JOSPT with the variability of PT intervention for post-op ACL reconstruction. 56% of respondents used MMTs alone to measure strength, and of the 45% who used pt reported outcome measures, only 10% assessed fear or confidence. We need to do better.

If you really think your lumbar discs are like a jelly donut, try sitting on a jelly donut. STOP THE MADNESS 😊

Fascinating study on the Ober's test! Transection of the IT band did not significantly increase hip adduction, but transection of the glute med/min and hip capsule did. Is the Ober's test truly testing the IT band "length?" https://t.co/Q1MTg84xAO

RFD in early phase (<100ms) is impaired bilaterally in those who have undergone ACLR. Contralateral RFD deficits are in later phase and there are also peak torque deficits.
-
Moral of the story: test both and don't always rely on the contralateral limb to determine what's normal.

Anne Mejia-Downs: Developing resiliency is how one manages stress. Here’s the great news: it can be taught, and it can be learned! Build it into your teaching, patient care, your own self-care! @CPTAtweets #CPTAConference

When working with people with persistent pain keep these ideas in mind with your treatment plans. 👍👍
.
There is always so much you COULD do but it is just as important to remember the things NOT to do 👍👍

Just for you @PeteOSullivanPT Both laxity and translation of motion segments are GREATER in pain-free individuals when measured with MRI. Its early and sparse research but "micromovement" instability is not really supported as a factor for pain https://t.co/mFV7mv4roh

The smoke alarm is a great analogy for pain from @GregLehman in a recent @runnersworlduk article from @SamMurphyRuns 1/

"Is pilates good for my back?". Treat the patient not the pathology. Get people back doing what they enjoy! Why does pilates help? MOVEMENT, not a "stronger core". Marshall et al. 2013 compared cycling and pilates.
6 months - BOTH GROUPS IMPROVED EQUALLY. Treat the individual

[Jonathan Okada, SPT @OkadaSpt]

Pain science education isn’t a fancy new treatment “fad.” It involves our current, evidence-based understanding of pain. It can help empower patients to manage their pain and allow them to realize more often than not, things aren’t as bad as they seem.

[Greg Lehman @GregLehman]

Our goal is not to create neuroscientists when we teach about pain, injury and recovery

[Jonathan Okada, SPT @OkadaSpt]

Can’t emphasize enough we treat people and NOT scans.

The body is a resilient organism that adapts in many ways!

[Karen Litzy, PT, DPT @karenlitzyNYC]

Do we actually change the structure of the tendon??

It doesn’t! Do stop telling patients that we “heal” the tendon. Exercise and injections will NOT restore structure of the tendon.

We are changing pain and function not structure. @ProfJillCook #SLSEM2018

Might challenge your patients (and your) biases too 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
