The 1 year + study is also accepted - will share soon as this paper really drives our knowledge forward regarding tendon remodelling in the longterm!

Great research from Tjerk Visser & colleagues has given us normative values for calf testing that go beyond reps alone!  Assessing peak height, total work & total displacement can provide valuable insight into calf function. Visser et al. (2025) 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Awesome work Sam @kgSilbernagel @KimHebertLosier @rj_devos @TendonGlasgow @Bill_Vicenzino

It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow

Why Menopause Matters in Physio 🦴💪🧠 Midlife MSK pain? It’s not always ageing. Hormonal changes are often missed—leading to poor outcomes. It’s time to talk menopause in rehab. 👇 Read the blog: dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/menopause… #MenopauseMatters #Physiotherapy #MSKpain

Massive thank you to @DrPeteMalliaras  for his leadership to this huge project Delphi study and incredible amount of work that that led to a robust consensus for the key diagnostic domains and conditions that should taking into consideration  when assessing Achilles tendinopathy.  Honoured to be part of it and as always learning so much during the process of the study ! Thank you all for your contributions ! @tendonpain @RoaldBahr @suzy_speirs @Seth0Neill @tendonpain @ProfJillCook @seandocking @LaTrobeSEM @sportsmapnet @PdHooghe @WDerman @Bill_Vicenzino @PerHolmich @KThorborg @KorakakisV @Seaniemc89 @rj_devos @DrDylanM Dr Karin Gravare Silbernagel and so many others !

Our new BJSM publication 🆕 🦶 We achieved consensus for the key diagnostic domains and conditions you should consider when assessing Achilles tendinopathy. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… Figure 1 summarises the recommended diagnostic process A huge thank you to all 50+ authors 👏

Great new study on normative values for calf raise testing from Tjerk Visser, @Seth0Neill @KimHebertLosier @rj_devos & Denise Eygendaal. Results are influenced by activity levels, sex and BMI. See full study for details 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
