Ben Cormack True. Although research isn’t great at showing individual response to treatment. For example, Person A in the graphic has a huge reduction in pain from the intervention. This isn’t captured by the mean response. If this person wants to try this intervention would we suggest

There were far too many runners in the office this week with arthritis-related questions... or some who have been told to stop running elsewhere... so... this.

I put the HCPC standards for physio notes into chat GPT and asked it to estimate the time a physio would take to complete them properly. This is it’s time estimate for documentation alone, not clinical time, and it is per patient, not per day. What do we think?!

An excellent new study from Lauren Pringels et al. in British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) has found that reducing tendon compression (by limiting ankle dorsiflexion during rehab) leads to better outcomes in Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.

Great new study on normative values for calf raise testing from Tjerk Visser, Achilles Tendons Kim Hébert-Losier Robert-Jan de Vos & Denise Eygendaal. Results are influenced by activity levels, sex and BMI. See full study for details 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Hi folks, here's my tendon adaptation framework 👍 🦶 The goal is to guide choice of tendon adaptation exercise during tendinopathy rehab (example here is for Achilles) More details here: tendinopathyrehab.com/blog/tendon-ad… #tendonadaptation #TendinopathyRehab

When patients ask “Why can’t I just get back to it tomorrow?", my explanation is pretty simple. 🧬 The drug is still working away, let's not disrupt it. 🔻 Your tissues might be a little more vulnerable, so lets take it easy. (another 🧵) 🚫 Too much too soon might undo the
