Great articles on Achilles and patellar tendon loading from BaxterLabHQ (Thanks for your work). Here's how I apply their research to clinical practice and exercise selection. Hope it helps. Achilles: journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/page… Patellar: journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/page…

How to load PT in tendinophaty and ACLR? Great lecture for Rodrigo Scattone ISTS_2023

Excellent presentation by Rodrigo Scattone on patellar tendon load progressions. In this recent publication they’ve investigated load in patellar tendon during various exercises. Great clinical applications!! Dr. Karin G Silbernagel Josh Baxter Andrew Sprague Todd J Hullfish ISTS_2023

#ISTStendon Nice free paper by Rodrigo Scattone Silva Tendon Research Group @ UD @ists_2023 A study rating patellar tendon loads in various exercises. SL decline squat created highest PT load. Recommendation: In patellar tendon rehab, start with lower load Ex & build up to a decline squat.

Check out our collaboration w/ Mari Lundberg just published in Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy (BJPT). Patients w/ Achilles tendinopathy and patients w/ chronic low back pain showed no difference in prevalence of high kinesiophobia. Dr. Karin G Silbernagel authors.elsevier.com/c/1i3tZ51N1vuy…

🚨 Hot off the press! 🙌🏼 Silva et al, (2023) have recently published a great research paper documenting the patella loading progression across 35 commonly used rehabilitation exercises 📰 Full text: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37847102/

Patellar Tendon Load Progression during Rehabilitation Exercises: Implications for the Treatment of Patellar Tendon Injuries tinyurl.com/3w37nr49

Not sure how to use Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)? Our #ClinicalCommentary has you covered ➡️ ow.ly/Thw850QCgM6 Including videos on how to set-up the device using resistance equipment and/or a handheld dynamometer 💪 #yourJOSPT

1st paper to quantify regional patellar tendon healing after BPTB autograft 4 ACLR from @rightnaoPT & group! All regions of the tendon are altered after harvest. Healing trajectory may differ b/w regions. Next step? Optimize tendon healing after ACLR! bit.ly/4a058f9

This study by Scattone Silva et al. aimed to evaluate patellar tendon loading profiles of rehabilitation exercises to develop clinical guidelines to incrementally increase the rate and magnitude of patellar tendon loading during rehabilitation. Read here: brnw.ch/21wIci2

⚽️ #isoK24 🏟 Day 3 🌟 session on Patellar tendon & more with legends Professor Karim Khan (he/him) k2 Ebonie Rio Dr. Karin G Silbernagel 🏋️‍♀️ exercise = highest evidence in rehab 📸 some key slides

✴️Exciting News! ✴️ (please retweet) We are thrilled to announce we are looking for expressions of interest to host the International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium 2025! Please complete this EOI: drive.google.com/file/d/1WVrhJP… Deadline 29th July 2024 #ISTS2025 #Tendinopathy

And to round up this week’s special seminar hat trick is Rodrigo Scattone with his presentation "Research on Low-Cost Interventions for the Treatment of Musculoskeletal Disorders: Can We Do More with Less?" (Spoiler alert: yes!)

⚡️New Publication!⚡️Patellar tendon strain varies by region & by sex. Extended field of view ultrasound can reliably assess regional patellar tendon strain in a clinical setting. More evidence that the patellar tendon is NOT uniform. Region of assessment matters! University of Delaware Physical Therapy
