📢HOT OFF THE PRESS!!! What do we know about biomechanical strategies for performing manual therapy? Not much. More work is needed in this space given that MT is often linked to MSK issues in clinicians. @FunabashiMartha @CMCCResearch @cmccnews 👇👇 chiromt.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Dr. Martha Funabashi joined Drs. Mike Schneider and William Anderst for a research project at the University of Pittsburgh. In this ongoing study, tools like a force-sensing device and biplane X-ray are used to understand the mechanisms behind spinal manipulation/mobilization.

NEW OPEN-ACCESS PAPER!!! High-quality research is a key part of academic institutions and EBM. Enhancing research capacity and culture requires understanding its current state. Check the paper to see what we found! chiromt.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @CMCCResearch @cmccnews @ChiroManTher

Had a fantastic time at Faglig Kongres 2024! Thank you @kiroviden and @KiropraktorenDK for the invitation. Had the privilege to share our work, and got inspired by the engagement and discussions during the student and clinician workshops on patient safety and adverse events!

In January, I teamed up with @FunabashiMartha to explore students' confidence and competence in their SMT skills. doi.org/10.1186/s12998… Using a force-sensing table, 149 students delivered forces 200N, 400N, and 800N. Results 👇

“The people who work in research integrity ... call it HARKing, p-hacking, selection bias, and so on,... but ... the answer is staring us in the face. We are asking people to do things [statistical analysis] they are not trained for.” bit.ly/3YBF2wd

Today's historic medal in fencing reminded me of the work we did to assess dynamic balance of elite Canadian fencers.🍁@_Tyson_Beach @UoG_SpineLab pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34909249/

@arnoldwongPT @DianaDeCarvalh5 @Erinn_McF @CMCCResearch Thanks @arnoldwongPT for the question. Fluctuating pain might be one contributor, but that didn't show up in the data. It's also not ideal for a reliability study to have participant states changing between test and retest. Using EMG in a ratio is likely a bigger contributor.

@ChiroHPL @DianaDeCarvalh5 @Erinn_McF @CMCCResearch Maybe the recruitment of individuals with low pain intensity might increase the variability of results because their pain level fluctuated over time. Any thoughts?
