I get asked a bit about hand held dynos for physiotherapy practice Here's 8 points you might look for if you are thinking of buying one YMMV

@MooseAllain I can't imagine how you are feeling @MooseAllain This is such awful news. You guys have given me, and many others I'm sure, so much happiness.

@MyPhysioTX Sorry about that - copy/paste from BlueSky where I spend more time since things went south here. Here's the link: journal.aspetar.com/archive/volume…

@RodWhiteley Broken link but I could really use this!

Don't come on here much anymore, but this is worth it. All things bone stress injury latest Aspetar Journal here: journal.aspetar.com/archive/volu..… always, free, open access, no catch etc. 1 highlight for me is Evan Jeanguyot's Return to running after bone stress injury in runners:

@mbeisen The 5 stages of the ‘enshittification’ of academic publishing share.google/054wgu5Qw4E9uQ…

@mbeisen Scientific Publishers enshittified our journals long, long before Cory Doctorow coined the term.

Right, because author service at journals is impeccable.

Tagging @PEDro_database to alert the DiTA guys

Trying to pool data from diagnostic studies means knowing the raw data, but that's not always given. This app lets you enter what is given, and it titerates through all possibilities to give you most likely candidates: try to break it for me please: …ixcalculator-app-rubass.streamlit.app

I said pressure pain thresholds were a bust - statistically we had an increase at the site of pain (not at Tib ant on the same leg or the elbow) but I think this effect is pretty small when you look at the raw data, & maybe down to this group starting a wee bit lower

I really thought BFR analgesia was placebo so we did a sham-controlled crossover RCT (ant knee pain) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.115… Seems like there's something "real" there, not related to sensitisation (pressure-pain was a bust) When you need "real" strengthening but can't-good option

@ActivateGlutes @kcrehabguy Markers *and* physical measures like pain, strength, range of motion function. Deserves another look Tony. RCT on real muscle injuries starting any day now to see if it's the same in the real world as well as these isokinetic +e-stim induced injuries.

@kcrehabguy They lost me at 'markers of muscle damage'. Yet another acute study interpreted as though it were longitudinal. I'll wait on ordering the hot tub.

Oh boy. This was interesting. Some of the physiological stuff was over my head, but very interesting findings in regards to muscle force, pain, and muscle damage cold vs. hot. One issue though is time of exposure in each. Maybe a factor? Open access. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40437768/

@Mortenstergaar7 @CappyS28 @BJSM_BMJ Hand held Dynamometer in mid range for everyone, then if we are looking for range specific differences we use the isokinetic device

@RodWhiteley @CappyS28 @BJSM_BMJ Hi Rod, Do you ever test the rotational strength in inner og outer range for the shoulder, or always in mid range/neutral postition?

Truly inspiring! Congratulations, @enda_king, the Rehab team, and @Aspetar for organizing such a remarkable and impactful event. Well done!

@ChloefromC @PhillipAdams_1 He says everything twice

@PhillipAdams_1 Hello Phillip It wasn't Mike It was H G Nelson He attached the moniker after AJ was sacked from his regular position at the SMH for plagiarising American journalists in his SMH column

Why did Mike Carlton name him ‘the Parrot’? (Asking g for a friend)
