Check out my chat with @davidkpope talking all things ACL injury on @davidphysioedge podcast. One of my favourite body parts to treat! podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/phy…

How is your Sunday?? I’m spending mine doing my annual CPR & First Aid Refresher @AWFirstAid

All set a for a fun day talking knees to Recent Graduate Physiotherapists at the @HealthiaLtd RGP

I don’t share much on here BUT this 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Just found this on the RACGP website 😬 might be time for some education to the @RACGP please @apaphysio so that we can ensure there is not unrealistic expectations!!

4 great days of research and clinical learnings at @apaphysio National Conference! It’s been a long 4 years since the last one! Always great to see old friends, make new friends & have lots of fun whilst being inspired by some incredible people doing incredible Physio things!

38 yo female. Persistent joint effusion and lack of extension. I’m all for non surgical management - but this person has a loose body. Post Sx = greater QofL, Function and has retired from elite level Sport.

🧵4/4 Testing is crucial and important to ACL Rehab and RTS - BUT testing WITHOUT excellent clinical reasoning is not going to get your patient to where they want to be! But hey sexy tech on social medial might increase your popularity - but does it help your patients?

Wednesday SoapBox 🧵1/4 I see “testing is essential in ACL Rehab” plastered all over Instagram - Isn’t is important that you are able to take clinical information obtained via testing and make a good clinical decision? 🤔🤔🤔

🧵3/4 Recent 2nd opinion pt - nervous about RTS, surgeon was happy, had “testing” done using tech, and no consideration of the swollen knee or the patient’s concerns. On Ax performance testing was good; but his ACL-RSI low. Surgeon (& pt) happy to hold off until satisfactory!!

🧵2/4 I never, ever see a physio use a picture of them using their hands to assess swelling OR a PROM on these posts, only a high tech device or iPad

Day 1 of 2 ✅ of ACL Rehab & RTS Done….. now time to partake in some 🎾

Check extension of the ACLR Knee - but make sure you are not doing CPR of the knee @enda_king @sportsmapnet

How do we know how much is too much load in ACL Rehab? The knee will tell you - how do they feel the next morning?? #SportsMAP

The Standards we set for RTP in ACL injuries matter - both in function AND symptoms #endaking

ACL RTP - each member of the rehab team will have different KPI’s for RTS #endaking #sportsMAP

Any insult to the Knee has consequences - whether that be a traumatic knee injury or a surgical intervention. We need to consider these consequences when planning Rehabilitation. #endaking #sportsMAP

Day 1 - ACL Rehab & RTP Decision Making 🔥🔥 @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia instagram.com/p/Cn5PtnCBuBD/…

@PhysioArmstrong @davidkpope Hi @PhysioArmstrong 👋🏽 Hope you enjoyed the episode! I tend to use Zinc Oxide, and if it is an acute sideline injury, I will use foam to pad around the malleoli to prevent effusion - you just need to make sure it is not too tight, and give your patient your standard warnings!

@physizo @davidkpope Hi @physizo brilliant episode & perfect timing as I’m currently putting together an ankle sprain In Service Training session. What does your basket weave taping looks like? I use it for the Rugby team I work with but wanted to check it’s the same & do you use Zinc oxide or KT?
