@GregLehman I’ve been doing this for over a year now and implementing it with patients too. Obviously I don’t fully understand what is happening but I think the VL is more related than current evidence suggests.

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@GregLehman I enjoy picking up new injuries to test my n=1 interventions. I alleviated my ‘ITB’ pain with standard load management, wider/shorter step width and resistance training. But even with these strategies, as I started pushing my limit and upping mileage, it returned. Rolling… 1/

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@GregLehman Rolling my mid-distal lateral VL, just anterior and posterior to my ITB has definitely been the invervention that has allowed me to push out this limit more and continue/improve training. I get a pain referral to the site of my lateral knee, around location of the fat pad… 2/

@DerekGriffin86 @GregLehman Surely just adding double/single leg pogos or forward power skipping exercises into your routine? The ‘sprinting’ equivalent. Progressing from thick foam to barefoot.

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@nakedphysio @PhysioNetwork Using factual visual information to encourage people to make an informed choice about their exercise/activity habits? This is great for older adults to see. Many believe they can’t influence age related change. Empowering, not blaming.

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@GregLehman @rwilly2003 This is from the Hamill paper you mentioned. The other 2 papers Rich referenced are by no means conclusive. I think it’s hard to argue with the Willet paper. Running with a narrow stance may well contribute to lateral knee pain, but maybe it isn’t correlated to ITB strain.

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@GregLehman @rwilly2003 The papers looking at narrow stance/ hip adduction seem to only ESTIMATE ITB strain using MSK models. Maybe ITB strain shouldn’t be the focus. Is it possible running in hip adduction just adds to compression of fatty tissue etc without changing the strain in the ITB itself?

Could STRESS increase your chance of picking up an INJURY?

Psychological & Emotional stress has many effects on the body. Some can be positive, like when we enter the ‘flight or fight’ response at times when it’s… https://t.co/0D628a8KUV

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Warrants an MRI? Only complaint and other findings are weakness in Left arm (GH abduction, elbow flexion and wrist extension).

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios @neurophysioPT

Explanation?

Reflex Tests:
Bicep & Brachioradialis - R side = normal,
Bicep and Brachioradialis - L side = normal on that side, but an extreme hyperactive response on the contralateral side (the one not being tested)?

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Any thoughts?

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Yes, only only testing tendon reflexes. All other reflexes are normal. Response was a standard hyperreflexia one - one quick, large movement of elbow flexion (on the right arm when testing the left bicep reflex).

On current form, I reckon the Irish Rugby Team would beat the Football Team in a game of football. #IREvNZ

@Back_in_Action @AdamMeakins @tomgoom @ShoulderGeek1 I believe there is, when checked through various ranges, especially specific ranges/positions that relate to the required task e.g. testing IR at 90/90, at ~90ABD/20HorADD/10-20IR and at ~90ABD/45HorADD/NearEndRangeIR (ie. throwing movement) https://t.co/GNqKD9eIOB

[Steven Gilmore @TheGil7]

@Back_in_Action @AdamMeakins @tomgoom @ShoulderGeek1 Obviously Adam isn’t arguing against ‘functional’ strength exercises (for assessment/rehab), so the real question is: is there a need for these additional isometric tests at specific degrees?
