@MikeReiman Shame this one in IJSPT missed out pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…
(n=61, 18-61yo, ICC(2,1) = 0.976 [0.97 to 0.98], mean (SD) of force was 1254.1N (276.1N), 1.58 bodyweights (0.29BW) and 15.54 (2.83) N/kg, mean difference: -6.30N [95%CI -21.44 to 8.85N])

Artina et al. successfully highlight the "Wild West" of calf capacity testing, where a lack of standardization makes cross-study comparison nearly impossible.

@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.

@mbeisen The 5 stages of the ‘enshittification’ of academic publishing share.google/054wgu5Qw4E9uQ…
English
@mbeisen Scientific Publishers enshittified our journals long, long before Cory Doctorow coined the term.
English
Right, because author service at journals is impeccable.

A lot of the pathologies of scientific publishing make more sense once you realize that, for journals, the customer is the author, not the reader.

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
English
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.
English
@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.
English
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.

@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?

@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)
