@Retlouping @MicahWong_DPT Yeah the MRI should be brain and SC

[Rick Quantz @RickIsAPain]

@MicahWong_DPT Thank you!!

@BartlyRat Following up to say that even though the deep tendon reflex bypasses the brain, a brain lesion can cause hyperreflexia, so the hammer thing is still a brain test

@MicahWong_DPT Update: I’m at the end of my didactic coursework now. My program has gotten rid of cadaver dissection. I still picture my cadaver with nearly every palpation I do and use her as a reference point for thinking about every anatomical structure. An incalculably valuable experience.

[Rick Quantz @RickIsAPain]

@MicahWong_DPT Just on the whole, I know there are some programs that don’t do cadaver lab anymore, but I don’t think I would have anywhere near the grasp I have on anatomy without it, not to mention the appreciation for anatomical variation. It was great.

@AdamMeakins @Wouter27 @E3Rehab Yeah this is standard Meakins going way back

@exysyzygyst @creakyjorts @alitlstrawberry @amayoco @katimcf I’m currently doing a study on this in people with MS, feel free to ask if you want more info

@RobWust @NatureComms I’m curious whether there’s been any investigation into anaerobic exercise interventions in this population? It seems like, if mitochondrial damage is the problem, strength training with low intra-set fatigue could avoid triggering PEM while still preserving some function.

@DrMark_Faghy @SammieFMc @LongCOVIDPhysio Yay!

@BartlyRat @GabrielTigerman We watched Roots too in my American Studies class junior year over several weeks. Combining American history with American lit meant they had two class periods to fill…

@adamdobson123 I’m still stuck on “I don’t measure when I make medicine.” If you don’t have to measure then you know it’s not doing anything.

@al171148 So, are you going to step up or what?

@flglmn @AlanGrofield2 The duel in Empire is pretty cool, actually
