@GregLehman I’ve been doing this for over a year now and implementing it with patients too. Obviously I don’t fully understand what is happening but I think the VL is more related than current evidence suggests.

@GregLehman I enjoy picking up new injuries to test my n=1 interventions. I alleviated my ‘ITB’ pain with standard load management, wider/shorter step width and resistance training. But even with these strategies, as I started pushing my limit and upping mileage, it returned. Rolling… 1/

People will say stretching and foam rolling is not evidence based and garbage care for ITB pain and then cite a weak study or opinion for some other intervention. Well, here is another weak study that supports stretching and foam rolling pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32769015/

@GregLehman Rolling my mid-distal lateral VL, just anterior and posterior to my ITB has definitely been the invervention that has allowed me to push out this limit more and continue/improve training. I get a pain referral to the site of my lateral knee, around location of the fat pad… 2/

@DerekGriffin86 @GregLehman Surely just adding double/single leg pogos or forward power skipping exercises into your routine? The ‘sprinting’ equivalent. Progressing from thick foam to barefoot.

I wore a racing flat for this high volume speed session on Thursdsy. Quite a bit of DOMS in my calves & foot intrinsics following this. Is there a more specific calf or foot exercise? @GregLehman

@nakedphysio @PhysioNetwork Using factual visual information to encourage people to make an informed choice about their exercise/activity habits? This is great for older adults to see. Many believe they can’t influence age related change. Empowering, not blaming.

I am really disappointed in this post @PhysioNetwork It is an example of physiotherapy reductionism and perpetuating blame culture! Shane Warne (RIP) died at 52, did he have lean thighs?

@GregLehman @rwilly2003 This is from the Hamill paper you mentioned. The other 2 papers Rich referenced are by no means conclusive. I think it’s hard to argue with the Willet paper. Running with a narrow stance may well contribute to lateral knee pain, but maybe it isn’t correlated to ITB strain.

@TheGil7 @rwilly2003 Again, my simple question is why the Willett paper seems like an outlier. Other research suggests hip adduction tensions the distal ITB. The Willet paper argues against that.

Is there not an inconsistency here @rwilly2003 ? If Obers test doesn’t strain the ITB (eg transecting it doesn’t change hip adduction) than why worry about hip adduction increasing ITB strain? These papers seem to conflict.

@GregLehman @rwilly2003 The papers looking at narrow stance/ hip adduction seem to only ESTIMATE ITB strain using MSK models. Maybe ITB strain shouldn’t be the focus. Is it possible running in hip adduction just adds to compression of fatty tissue etc without changing the strain in the ITB itself?

@rwilly2003 I would disagree there. A passive structure (as opposed to muscle) can’t resist torque if the joint is in neutral. It’s slack at that range. They don’t resist torque unless the joint moves outside of the neutral zone.

Could STRESS increase your chance of picking up an INJURY? Psychological & Emotional stress has many effects on the body. Some can be positive, like when we enter the ‘flight or fight’ response at times when it’s… instagram.com/p/CEHgOeEnoGB/…

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Warrants an MRI? Only complaint and other findings are weakness in Left arm (GH abduction, elbow flexion and wrist extension).

@TheGil7 @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios I'm really not sure. There must be some connection through the cervical cord. Cervical neuroschisis?

@DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios @neurophysioPT Explanation? Reflex Tests: Bicep & Brachioradialis - R side = normal, Bicep and Brachioradialis - L side = normal on that side, but an extreme hyperactive response on the contralateral side (the one not being tested)?

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Any thoughts?

@TheGil7 @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Interesting. Can you describe the reponse? Just with testing tendon reflexes?

@neurophysioPT @DonnchaLanePT @TheNeuroPhysios Yes, only only testing tendon reflexes. All other reflexes are normal. Response was a standard hyperreflexia one - one quick, large movement of elbow flexion (on the right arm when testing the left bicep reflex).

On current form, I reckon the Irish Rugby Team would beat the Football Team in a game of football. #IREvNZ

@Back_in_Action @AdamMeakins @tomgoom @ShoulderGeek1 I believe there is, when checked through various ranges, especially specific ranges/positions that relate to the required task e.g. testing IR at 90/90, at ~90ABD/20HorADD/10-20IR and at ~90ABD/45HorADD/NearEndRangeIR (ie. throwing movement) medind.nic.in/jau/t10/i2/jau…

Morning @AdamMeakins @ShoulderGeek1! Quick shoulder question; what position do you recommend for testing shoulder strength with a hand held dynamometer? Thanks 🙏

@Back_in_Action @AdamMeakins @tomgoom @ShoulderGeek1 Obviously Adam isn’t arguing against ‘functional’ strength exercises (for assessment/rehab), so the real question is: is there a need for these additional isometric tests at specific degrees?
