➡️ Hip abduction strength had the most evidence (very low certainty), and was not different between people or between limbs after ACL reconstruction.

➡️ More between-person comparisons, especially for hip internal rotation, ankle plantarflexion and ankle dorsiflexion are needed to inform clinical decision-making.

"Significant hip or lower-leg muscle weakness was not found in most planes compared with uninjured controls or the uninjured limb in the first 12 months after ACL reconstruction" 🦵🏻

New Paper Alert 🚨

The Impact of Exercise Prescription Variables on Intervention Outcomes in Musculoskeletal Pain: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews

🔬🏃‍♂️ Diving into 274 studies, researchers are on a mission to find the best exercise mix to beat musculoskeletal pain! This is:

Key takeaways:

🌟 Musculoskeletal Pain: A major health challenge. Perfect exercise combo? Still a puzzle.

📉 Quality Check: 85% of studies missed the mark. Think baking with iffy base ingredients!

🏋️‍♂️ Exercise 101: Most studies focus on frequency and duration. Only 11% looked at how it really affects us.

💪 More Sweat, Less Sorrow: Frequent exercise = better results. Time to trade the couch for the treadmill!

🔍 Future Focus: Research needs a revamp! Aim for the exercise sweet spot, top-quality studies, and don't forget mental health.

📐 Tailor-Made Workouts: Personalise those exercise plans, and trust only the crème de la crème of research.

In essence: Exercise helps with pain, but the perfect formula is still cooking.

Like perfecting a recipe, a bit of trial and error will get us there, and maybe we just need to do it a bit more! 🏋️‍♂️🍰🔍

I had such a fantastic time speaking & meeting so many amazing therapists at the NEMS conference this weekend.

Truly one of the most well organised conferences I’ve been to.

The NEMS set up is a pioneering society that should be the inspiration for regional MSK networks U.K. wide.

[The Learning Physiotherapist @TLPhysio]

Honoured to support the @nemsoc16 conference yesterday in Newcastle!

A wealth of knowledge shared by phenomenal speakers like @AnjuJaggi, @adamdobson123, @JackAChew, @dclancyphysio, @lizbayleyphysio and @theEndurancePT.

Vital topics explored, enriching the field of physiotherapy!

Hard to master, but...

[The Learning Physiotherapist @TLPhysio]

It was never just about the technical and clinical skillset.
Anyone can treat a knee, but how.

More than 15 years in this game and this is what I believe.

What separates the best in healthcare is the other stuff.
The human skills.
The interpersonal skills.
Life skills.
People skills.
Soft skills.
Real skills, as Seth Godin says.

Work on them.
A skill.
They are trainable.
Master the Essential skills.

Soft skills matter

#physio #TLPhysio #thelearningphysiotherapist

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

For too long, the essence of what makes us human—our empathy, values, and emotions—have been dismissed as “soft" skills and relegated to the sidelines.
Yet these capacities drive everything: culture, engagement, leadership, innovation, collaboration.
