What if low back pain is not just about strength. but about timing? This study explores anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) across multiple trunk muscles, revealing how the body prepares for movement before it even happens. A valuable contribution to how we understand motor control, variability, and movement preparation in low back pain Rather than a simple delay in a single muscle, the findings suggest a more complex picture. Multi-muscle coordination is disrupted, potentially reflecting adaptive or protective strategies rather than isolated dysfunction. The goal may not be to “activate one muscle earlier”, but to restore coordinated, task-specific motor control across the system. #Feedforward control #Lowbackpain #Attention #Motorcontrol #Hypervigilance #Electromyography Link to access article: buff.ly/aptvjTX
I was recently asked, "What's the most important book you've read in your career?" The answer was really simple: "Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes," by Shirley Sahrmann. Early in my career - especially in light of my own shoulder pain history - Sahrmann's work was an amazing contrast to the medical model of care that focused entirely on treating symptoms (medical diagnoses) instead of investigating root causes (movement diagnoses). Sahrmann proposes countless functional tests and corrective exercise interventions aimed at treating the causes of the problems rather than the compensations that emerge after dysfunction has emerged. This book has profoundly impacted the way that some of the industry’s greatest minds train their clients and athletes and themselves. To be blunt, Shirley Sahrmann has likely forgotten more than most physical therapists will ever know. Full disclosure: it reads like stereo instructions, and you may only cover 2-3 pages at a time. However, when you finish the book, you could restart it immediately and learn something new each time you work through. The reason is simple: the movement impairment syndromes model is something that "clicks" with each new client/athlete/patient you encounter. Not every "shoulder impingement" is the same; you appreciate why they're all unique. If you’re serious about your own education, and have the best interests of your clients and athletes in mind, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this classic. amzn.to/47xBIGj

Desidero formulare i migliori auguri di pronta guarigione a #LindseyVonn che ora tornerà a casa sua negli Stati Uniti. La Vonn ha potuto apprezzare lo straordinario sistema sanitario pubblico italiano che si è presa cura di lei con tre interventi chirurgici. In Italia, a differenza che nel suo paese, ci prendiamo cura di tutti: ricchi o poveri, vip o anonimi, Americani o italiani. Se ne avrà occasione, spieghi a Trump e a Kennedy Jr cosa vuol dire prendersi cura di chi sta male.
