The Posterior shoulder endurance test is an isometric test performed to failure. Individuals hold a standardized external load based on body weight and arm length while lying prone with the shoulder in 90° of horizontal abduction and full external rotation. 🤔 Have you used the shoulder functional performance tests with your patients? Let us know in the comments! ✅ If you want to learn more about these tests, watch the lecture 'Shoulder Functional Performance Tests: What’s out there and what do they tell us?' by Ellie Richardson on Trust me-Ed!⁠ You can watch the full lecture here 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eUW8HHPB

The Patrick Step: ✅ Isolation of muscles surrounding the knee. ✅ Focuses on eccentric control. ✅ Functional movement simulation. ✅ Joint loading control. ✅ Customizable difficulty.

During the rehabilitation of an injured/post-operative rotator cuff of the shoulder there will be a time during the rehabilitation process for the appropriate integration of arm elevation activities. When initially attempting arm elevation activities, there are some advantages to performing these activities in the plane of the scapula (Figure 1). Some athletes/patients will have difficulty initially raising their arm and thus substitute/demonstrate the classic shoulder shrug during the attempted execution of their effort. Often the rotator cuff may be required to be “turned on” so to speak, prior to the initiation of the instructed arm elevation activity for executed success. This may often be achieved with two simple methods (Figure 2): · The athlete/patient may press down into the padded treatment table or small plyoball for 2-3 sets of 5 second holds prior to the attempted arm elevation. · The athlete/patient positions themselves comfortably against a wall while rotating their body to position the upper extremity in the plane of the scapula. They then “press” their upper extremity in horizontal abduction against the wall and maintain this effort as they attempt to raise their arm in the plane of the scapula.

Why use a portable anorectal manometry (ARM) system (rather than a traditional stationary one)? One reason is higher patient flow since you don't need a dedicated procedure room!

Please check out another YouTube episode! In this episode, I try to explain to my patients how complicated the human knee is and knee replacement in general, while briefly going over manual vs robotic knee replacement.

This excellent course will guide you through the subjective examination of the shoulder joint. It is trending now on Physiopedia Plus! https://lnkd.in/g57bhYr5

Let's talk about the Trunk Extension Protocol. 🚨 This protocol allows the isometric strength of the paraspinal musculature to be tested and trained in a safe position with consistent positioning and adequate control of spinal posture.

Incorporating External Focus In collegiate and professional athletes, “The increased risk for lower extremity injury following concussion was 1.47 to 2.48 times greater within 90-day follow-up.” Why? This article published in 2021 states that this might be due to residual deficits post-PT, or “neurophysiological and dual-task motor stability deficits that remain despite RTS.” This results in 🔻 Loss of autonomous control of gait and posture 🔻 Increased need for cognition for motor stability PTs and clinicians NEED the “incorporation of strategies that can enhance motor stability and restore autonomous control of gait and posture” (External Focus) Concussion RTS needs to incorporate lower extremity dual tasking and movements that cause lots of communication in the corpus callosum Are you already testing lower extremities after concussion? Are you using technology/objective data? Are you implementing implicit motor learning strategies? #concussion #sportsrehab #sportsrehabilitation #sportsrecovery #sportsperformance #sportsperformancetraining #sportsphysiotherapy #physicaltherapy #rehab #acl #aclrehab #reaction #neuroplasticity #neurorehabilitation
