🦵 Neurodynamic mobilizations reduced muscle soreness and improved muscle function after exercise in sedentary young men.⁠
⁠
📊 Those receiving the intervention showed higher pain thresholds and lower inflammation (IL-6) compared to placebo.⁠
⁠
💡 Using neurodynamic mobilizations could help prevent DOMS and speed recovery, encouraging exercise participation.⁠

💪 Cancer patients with higher muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness had up to 46% lower mortality risk.⁠

📉 Despite the benefits, many patients face challenges maintaining fitness during treatment.⁠

💡 Focusing on strength and aerobic exercise in rehab may improve survival outcomes.⁠

20/08/2025

🦾 Higher muscle strength and better cardiorespiratory fitness are linked to significantly lower mortality risk in cancer patients.⁠

📉 Strength reduced death risk by up to 46%, and each 1-MET fitness gain cut risk by 11-18%, especially in lung and advanced cancers.⁠

🎯 Fitness improvements matter most in later cancer stages, highlighting the role of rehab even during treatment.⁠

💡 Encouraging strength and aerobic training can improve survival and quality of life for cancer patients.⁠

🩺 Older adults who attended physiotherapy after emergency department discharge had 88% lower odds of returning within 30 days.⁠
⁠
📉 Yet, only 39.3% actually went to their PT appointments.⁠
⁠
💡 Encouraging attendance could reduce emergency revisits and improve outcomes for seniors.⁠

🩺 Only 39.3% of older adults attended physiotherapy after emergency department discharge.⁠
⁠
📉 Those who attended had an 88% lower chance of revisiting the emergency department within 30 days.⁠
⁠
👵 Patients with vertigo were more likely to attend, while those with falls or mobility issues and older adults attended less — highlighting barriers to care.⁠
⁠
💡 Addressing these gaps can help reduce emergency revisits and improve outcomes for older adults.⁠

🦵 Kinesio Taping (KT) should be used as a temporary pain-modulating tool alongside exercise therapy.

👉 KT can provide short-term relief during activities like squatting or stair ascent, but it’s NOT a replacement for strengthening and movement retraining.⁠

💪🏻 Tailor taping techniques to the patient’s symptoms, and discontinue if no immediate benefit is seen.⁠

🦵 Kinesio Taping (KT) for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) can provide modest short-term pain relief during activities like squatting or stair ascent.⁠

🙅‍♂️ No significant improvements were found in strength, flexibility, or proprioception compared to controls.⁠

📈 Small functional gains were observed, but KT works best as an adjunct to exercise, NOT a standalone treatment.⁠

🦵 Activity after total hip replacement is safe, with no link found between activity intensity and pain or revision risk.⁠

👉 Most patients improved after surgery and maintained stable outcomes over time.⁠

💪🏻 Activities do not predict the need for revision surgery, so let's encourage personalized activity plans without unnecessary restrictions.⁠

06/08/2025

🙌🏻 After total hip replacement (THR), 20% of patients experienced pain during activity, and 12.5% reduced their activity because of it.

🙅‍♂️ No connection was found between activity intensity and pain or risk of revision surgery.

📈 Patient outcomes improved after surgery and remained stable over time.

🩺 Achilles tendinopathy diagnosis hinges on four key clinical signs, with imaging as a helpful but not essential tool.

👉 Proper diagnosis requires careful history and screening to rule out other conditions and red flags.

🩻 Imaging should be reserved for atypical cases or when treatment response is poor.

💡 The takeaway? Focus on core clinical signs first, always screen for red flags, and consider broader factors if recovery stalls.

01/08/2025

🙌🏻 Experts identified 4 key signs to diagnose Achilles tendinopathy: pain location, pain during activity, positive tests, and tenderness.

📸 Imaging can help, but it isn’t essential for diagnosis.

🔍 They also highlighted 15 differential diagnoses and 6 red flags to watch for.

👉 Always screen for red flags, rely on core clinical signs, and reserve imaging for unusual cases. If progress stalls, consider central sensitization and biopsychosocial factors.
