For tendonopathies, ‘wait & see’ is at times advocated as a good strategy to improve pain & function. Indeed it can, but the evidence is inconclusive with some studies actually showing ⬆️results by adding interventions 🧐 buff.ly/3Wos42k #tendinopathies

In Early Frozen Shoulder are there clinical measures we can consider to assist diagnosis & management? 🧐 ✔️Strength measures are likely ⬇️ ❌Dyskinesia…can be measured but = not sig results ❌Proprioception = No Changes ❌Biological = No Changes buff.ly/3Adc9MJ

Very pleased to share that our Giacomo Rossettini Prof Mick Thacker qualitative paper is now published MSKPhysioJournal We explored the role of therapeutic alliance and biobehavioural synchrony in MSK care, using enactivism and active inference perspectives. mskscienceandpractice.com/article/S2468-…

Does the shape of the Cervical Spine influence Motion? 🧐 Yes 👉 Lordotic Shape allows a more ‘energy-saving mode’ compared to a Kyphotic curvature. Also… ⬆️Lordosis = ⬆️Flexion…but ⬇️Extension ROM compared with Kyphosis buff.ly/3SJsaAB #Neck #Kinematics

With Rheumatoid Arthritis patients are there changes occurring at the wrist? 🧐 Yes 👉 Both Strength & Joint Position Sense (Proprioception) can be ⬇️ So useful to consider the 🤛 when both assessing + managing Rheumatoid Arthritis! buff.ly/4dhSB8R

Is Joint Position Sense a useful measure for Chronic Ankle Instability? 🧐 Likely Yes 👉 In this study a novel stair descent method was used to identify chronic instability = Valid & Reliable Tool ✔️ buff.ly/3An0uer #ankle #proprioception #instability

Interesting study here assessing proprioception at the ankle joint Is there a meaningful clinical application (i.e. if we can identify ⬇️JPS at the ankle can we subsequently ⬆️JPS… in doing so can we actually improve symptoms/function)? 🤔 Liz Bayley ? 👀

Are there facilitators or barriers we should be considering when providing a home exercise programme for Shoulder Pain? 🧐 Yes 👉 factors like Pain, Time & Enjoyment are just some. buff.ly/3yBOm8S Useful to examine these factors to ⬆️ exercise adherence 📈📈📈

Is there consensus on the delegation of clinical tasks from UK physiotherapists to physiotherapy support workers?🧐 A recent consensus study = agreement on 32 of 38 items with grouping under 5 categories buff.ly/4dJ1lEy Will this enable a ‘best practice’ framework?👀

We're excited to welcome Carl Wong to our social media team! 🥳 Here's a great example from him of how to support translation of research in to clinical practice 👇 If you've published in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice in recent years and want to know how we can support
