PhD graduation today! If you would like a free pdf of my thesis titled: The synergistic effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with blood flow restriction on muscular adaptations and pain modulation, then comment or DM your email and il send it over #NMES #BFR

Combined action observation and mental imagery versus NMES on 1 week of immobilization Looked at a lot of really interesting mechanisms A lot of uncertainty around the effect but i found the idea (particularly the action observation) quite fascinating physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Anyone have any innovative ways to manage 'sub-acute' post-op TKR pain? 6 weeks. Knee looks good to me. Reasonable rom 0-90. No signs of infection. Moderate effusion. Seems anxious++ Experiencing pain that generates nausea when pushing a bit eg static bike 5 mins 1/3

Is the paper you need stuck behind a paywall? Here is a list of useful websites to help you access the research you need. * unpaywall.org * paperpanda.app * 12ft.io * openaccessbutton.org * ilovephd.com/working-sci-hu…

Our most recent work in @EJAP_official ⬇️ A massive thanks to all my supervisors for their continued help and support.

4 slides that summarize a fair amount of what I think I understand about training intensity zones:

Interesting. Traditional heavier load RT and low-load BFR have differential effects on hamstrings hypertrophy at a group level (a lot of inter-individual variance). Suggests combining methods might help to optimize hamstrings development...? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@kcrehabguy 😃👍thank you

@DrPHphysio Can't say there's a reference standard and most papers on this are really old but a Pubmed search using "high voltage pulsed galvanic stimulation AND muscle" will give you a variety of papers and case studies. None I'm aware of for CPN palsy though.

DC current for tib anterior. It works well friends.

@kcrehabguy Cheers, will take a look. Any papers on it you'd recommend?

@DrPHphysio Haha. Its DC or Galvanic current device. Direct motor point stimulation for CPN palsy

Daily blood flow restriction does not preserve muscle mass/strength during 2 weeks of bed rest within-subject design but more and more findings seem to suggest that BFR by itself may not be enough (need those low force contractions) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38411283/

🔷 So pleased our new meta-analysis on physical characteristics and CHS has now been accepted for publication in @SportsMedicineJ. 🔷 A lot of help given on a mammoth piece of work, which we (at MDX) are super grateful for. 🔷 Link to full text on RG: researchgate.net/publication/37….

Why does pain often last LONG after healing should be done? Why do 20-year-old ankle sprains still throb & twinge? We may finally know! Willemen et al.: “mitochondrial and metabolic disturbances in sensory neurons.” cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Clear as mud? Let’s translate that…

It appears that Michael Keegan, husband of Tory Education Minister @GillianKeegan, was the UK Chief Executive & Chair of Fujitsu, the firm behind the Horizon computer system during #PostOfficeScandal. I wonder why the Tories have failed to press for #justiceforsubpostmasters?

Although this is not BFR per se, we are interested in whether the effects are due to pressure or the reduction in blood flow from the pressure. We found reduced pain but no evidence for a benefit with resistance exercise performance #OleMissMuscle journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/abst…
