#PT582 #TS Degenerative changes occur in many joints & loss of muscle mass, inhibits elderly patients' locomotion. bit.ly/2tkyOPY

#PT582 #AD Being considerate about their fears & making exercise fun could be the key to motivating the elderly! bit.ly/2mUeQcb

@PaigeJohnsonSPT Maybe when the patient feels more stable and after the acute stage of their injury

#PT582 #CS Prehab before an ACL repair can minimize risk of a 2nd ACL surgery & improve chances of return to sport bit.ly/2tRCmdw

#PT582 #PJ Patients in the acute stage of low back pain may not be the best candidates for use of a physioball bit.ly/2tR5Vfn

@Anthony_Veglia do you think this would translate to long term results?

@CarlySzemerey do you think this study would carry over for UE injuries as well?

@M_Botsford @jheick1 very interesting article! different than others I've seen so far!

@carsonmyoung91 This article says for isolating EE, would you consider combining eccentric and concentric exercises?

@sarahkholmgren if there is little evidence for isolating EE, what would you prescribe for your patients?

@kaburger94 do you think the same increase in muscle strength would occur in other tendonopathies?

@adh1218 If no difference was found would you consider using concentric exercises instead?

@PaigeJohnsonSPT Totally agree! do you think this would carry over to other tendonopathies?

@kcunninghamspt do you think the results would be similar with a larger sample size?

@mholscherSPT @jheick1 @jheick1 knows best! How quickly did you see improvements with these exercises?

@slandauerSPT What do you think we could add as PTs to change QOL and function with these patients?

@Sarah_Goodman55 great article! do you think the same principle applies for UE tendonopathies?

#PT582 #SL Plyometrics can help the elderly to avoid falls, play with their grandchildren safely & participate in recreational activities

#PT582 #LH Aquatic therapy is extremely beneficial for various patients but especially patients with MS! bit.ly/2sGMbua
