@Haxby_Abbott@chadcookpt@Haxby_Abbott@chadcookpt It is interesting. Agree with Haxby re ref standard. Not evidence that the laxity is symptomatic. Confidence intervals around the LRs very wide and include 1 hence not statistically significant
I use MRI in lower back pain 🤭
I also get asked frequently how I manage the scan follow up consults & handle patient Qs
So here is a mini-thread which gives a little comms synopsis - some may nod sagely, others may roll their eyes - that’s cool - no right or wrong.
Recent open access pub. https://t.co/RBk3PwUx51 Prevalence & incidence of serious pathologies in LBP identified by MRI published in The Spine Journal under license https://t.co/dxr7nZ2Vns
Pleased to see our systematic review on imaging findings associated with hip microinstability published with @SpringerNature in @SkeletalRadiol via https://t.co/epIVe7YNVB
I have just received notification that an article on SIJ diagnostics I reviewed was rejected (as I recommended). Seeing the other reviewer comments though was a shock. It seems that lit reviews are used democratically & uncritcally. ..2

“The best thing you can do is speak up. Ask, ‘Are you ok?’ or ‘You don’t seem yourself. Do you want to talk?’ The smallest gesture can make the greatest difference. Let them know they’re not alone—we all have days when the world gets to us." https://t.co/RnhFd9KNlm
For those interested in my recent commentary 'The Critical Skill of Asking Why?' in @MSKPhysioJnl it is open access now for 50 days through this link: https://t.co/Lcv8nW0iEV
@marklaslett_NZ Perhaps don’t blame the schools where they are taught when to and when not to image... instead look seriously at how inadequate support /mentoring for new grads is once they graduate
My heart is broken. My country is weeping and so am I. I am dying knowing that this kind of hatred can happen in my homeland. All my love goes out to Christchurch, the victims, the families, the Muslim community, and all who have chosen our islands as their home. This is not us.
"A classic sign of bureaucratic malaise is when efforts to keep an organization running begin to crowd out the work that the organization was formed to support in the first place. Higher education has fallen into this trap" https://t.co/7NvVzLrHwe
This is a very interesting and well written read, from a patient but written on a level really great for clinicians and patients alike. If nothing, it will probably help you explain why a scan isn't needed to them. @PeteOSullivanPT#backpain#physio https://t.co/JXoYQQaBf4
Ooh! We have a fantastic group of speakers, both National and International, set for our NZMPA 50th Anniversary Symposium in June!
