Patellofemoral pain risk factors and prevention: what’s supported by evidence, and where are the gaps? Explore this interesting evidence gap map! jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo…

Our PhD student @helderslopes closing today’s round of our group presentations @iPFRN #IPFRN

🆕Although self-reported symptom duration is vastly used to measure the persistence of PFP, its accuracy seems questionable ‼️Read our paper for potential alternatives authors.elsevier.com/c/1kMFY51N1vyn… @BrazJPhysTher @RonaldoBriani @BalotariBotta @mariwaiteman @DrBazettJones @FMicolis

New publication out! ✅ Bilateral deficits in single-leg hop for distance performance does not seem to occur concomitantly with sagittal plane movement differences in people with patellofemoral pain as compared to controls. ‼️50 days' free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kL6O3RoQ8ma…

🚨Our newest Systematic Review, including 83 studies, showed large-effect deficits in function of individuals with PFP! However, they were not explained by age, BMI, symptoms duration or pain. @JAT_NATA Free Full Text ⬇️ doi.org/10.4085/1062-6…

Is lower extremity strength associated with clinical outcomes in individuals with patellofemoral pain? Please check our study title for the answer! 🔓Open access: jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo… @emma_zuk @DistefanoLJ @RonaldoBriani @NealGlaviano @uconn_soar @UConn_ISM @JOSPT Open

@JoaquinTeixeira É muita “co cera” no cool para fazer isso, meu Deus do céu 🤦🏼‍♂️

Meu primo francês Jean Pyerre Teixeira me mandou no zapzap. Isso foi ontem na torre eiffel quando voltou a luz. Essa, sem dúvidas, é a pior olimpíada de todos os tempos.

🚨Save the Date! 🚨 #iPFRR25 will take place in Boston USA on 1-4 October 2025. Mark your calendars 🗓️ Research Retreat 1-3 October (Wed-Fri) Clinical Symposium 4 October (Sat) More information to follow. Thanks to hosts #DavidSelkowitz @patellaprof @NealGlaviano

If you still have not read our paper recently published in @JAT_NATA investigating physical performance among people with unilateral and bilateral patellofemoral pain and controls, here it is a summary of our findings. 👇👇👇🤓 Full-text available here: doi.org/10.4085/1062-6…

Online First - Marina Waiteman, MS, PT and colleagues compare performance and proportion of side-to-side limb symmetry during the forward step-down and single-leg hop tests among people with unilateral and bilateral PFP, and pain-free controls. Article: tinyurl.com/4y3xdcuw

@mariwaiteman @JAT_NATA Nice work, Marina! It is a pleasure work with you 🙏🏼

Can we use the contralateral limb as a reference standard when assessing physical performance of people with unilateral or bilateral patellofemoral pain? Our latest study published in @JAT_NATA has interesting results about this 👆 Full text here: doi.org/10.4085/1062-6…

Portable dynamometers are reliable to measure hip muscle strength. Clinicians may rely on these evidence-based recommendations to set up reliable testing protocols 👇👇👇👇 Full-text available here: doi.org/10.2519/jospt.…

@JOSPT @BrazilianPFPRG Great job, @mariwaiteman and colleagues 👏🏼

Portable dynamometers may be better for tracking trends than for assessing actual strength values taken from movements at the hip... Lots more, including recommendations on how to set up reliable testing protocols #Review ➡️ ow.ly/ezke50Q8xX5 #yourJOSPT #Dynamometry

@ashleyruba_phd Enjoy your 4 years of PhD, because those 5 will be the best 7 years of your life.

@me_erra_idiota @hoje_no A pior complexidade é a cabeça de quem ainda defende o Hamas

@hoje_no Essa guerra é de uma complexidade absurda de surreal! Assustador os mecanismos que o Hamas usa e pior ainda, como isso tudo acaba virando justamente contra Israel 🫤

Neste vídeo divulgado pelos terroristas do Hamas podemos ver que a maioria, senão mesmo todos os terroristas, estão combatendo vestidos como civis. Quando encurralados ou quando acabam as munições, simplesmente jogam as armas e se misturam com os civis que eles obrigam a permanecer na área como escudos humanos, reagrupando-se minutos depois e voltando ao combate. Uma tática terrorista que dificulta muito o avanço das forças israelenses no seu esforço para destruir o Hamas.

@bmbcsgo @hoje_no E você gostaria que fosse proporcional, eu imagino? Era só esperar uma festa na palestina e juntar os terroristas dos hamas pra fazer o que fizeram né? Talvez se Israel entrasse na casa dos terroristas de Hamas e sequestrasse a família seria “menos pior”. Valeu 👍🏼

@hoje_no Kkkkkkk claro, pra não perder os "escudos humanos" eles matam os "escudos humanos". Realmente, deve ter sido isso mesmo. Por pior que sejam os terroristas do hamas, não dá pra fechar os olhos p o q Israel está fazendo.

ATENÇÃO! CENAS FORTES! Começou a circular hoje à tarde um vídeo mostrando civis mortos na estrada litorânea que liga o norte ao sul da Faixa de Gaza. De acordo com fontes locais ainda não 100% confirmadas, teriam sido executados pelos terroristas do Hamas que não querem que os civis abandonem a cidade de Gaza, pois isso significaria para os terroristas a perda dos seus escudos humanos.
