Anatomical risk factors of lateral ankle sprain INTRO: Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are the most common musculoskeletal injuries, accounting for about 10%-30% of all athletic injuries.  LAS can have serious consequences for the injured athletes in terms of treatment costs and time lost from the sport.  Up to 70% of cases are persistent and can lead to post-traumatic ankle arthritis.  The highest rate of ankle sprain usually occurs in sports that involve running, cutting, and jumping.  Understanding what increases risk of ankle sprain could improve effective prevention and rehab measures. Saki et al. (2021) determined the risk of non contact ankle sprains in athletes based on: Previous ankle sprain history. Q angle [A] Knee recurvatum [B] Navicular drop [C] Tibia vara [D] Tibia torsion [E] Ankle ROM [F] METHODS: 152 adolescent male athletes assessed during preseason for 7 risk factors listed above. LASs were prospectively recorded and diagnose...

Only three months into the year 2021 and pubmed already has over 170,000 articles published pertaining to the topic of medicine. With many medical providers already suffering from high caseloads along with increased work and documentation standards, it becomes difficult to dive into all the new practical literature that is constantly updating. In order to at least try to keep your head above water, many providers will read the abstract which is a short summary of the article’s main findings and results.  The problem with that, is that many abstracts contain spin to “beef” up their findings better promoting it for publication. In order to detect whether abstracts are prone to spin, Paul Ingraham, who is much smarter than me, has delivered 5+ red flags you can identify to appraise whether the article contains a lot of spin. 5+ Red flags an abstract contains spin by Cameron Faller 👉Omission of effect size and making too much of P-values instead 👉Emphasizi...

In this episode, Erson tells Andrew about a really confusing and worrying case where his daughter was misdiagnosed with a "Toe Sprain." It obviously wasn't a toe sprain and it cleared up with antibiotics, but then it recurred, in a completely different toe, and on the opposite foot? What was the final treatment and diagnosis?  Incidentally, after the actual diagnosis, it turns out several of Erson's friends' children (and some adults) have similar presentations. Have you seen this clinically? Let us know your thoughts!    Learn more online - new online discussion group included! Want an approach that enhances your existing evaluation and treatment?

"D" in the in professional abbreviation DPT stands for Doctor, as in Doctor of Physical Therapy. Our profession has made great leaps and bounds in its stride to becoming experts in movement, the neuromuscular system, and wellness. Much of our success has been through diligent efforts to improve the educational standards of our PT students. We've also continually raised the bar by encouraging most States to enact stricter continuing education standards, licensing, and rigorous specializations and fellowships. Such training and advanced education, along with our doctorate, prepares us to provide care in direct access, primary care, wellness centers, rehab facilities, hospital, gyms, and sports complexes to name a few. We are managing simple injuries now without much of the red tape and bureaucracy, while helping those with devastating diseases and ailments get better. Despite all the progress I feel we still have a stock of PTs that are holding us back, especially in re...

🎯 Kettlebell Workout - Bilateral Focus ⤵️ 🧱The kettlebell is one of the most versatile training tools available. I love the barbell just as much as the next fitness enthusiast, but the kettlebell is perfect for so many reasons. There's a ton of variety and versatility - and - you always get a great grip challenge since the handle is typically thicker in diameter. ⠀ ⠀ 🧱 Here's a quick workout you can try out if you only have access to one heavy kettlebell. Depending on your training goals and desires, I'd suggest using somewhere between one 40 lb to 80 lb kettlebell for this workout. ⠀ 🧱 I created this workout with a simple template that you can use to input your own exercises if you'd like. Swipe over to the second image to save and use. ⠀ 🧱 My goals here are to dial in on bilateral (double leg or double arm) loading for a quick and efficient workout. This full-body workout will build strength and challenge your conditioning! Reposted with permission fr...

Of course anyone reading this blog over the last several years realizes the intent is to rule in and rule out the cervical spine as a driver for the symptoms of dizziness, lightheadiness, drunkenness and unsteadiness. Therefore, the question, “Can the teeth cause dizziness” is an interesting inquiry and not a common source of dizziness.  However, for anyone treating upper quarter symptoms, it is pertinent to know a few of these outliers. I would like to initially relay material from a 2019 case report entitled, “Recovering of Dizziness of a Patient with Sinusitis after Root Canal Therapy for Upper Second Molar”. Here are some of the highlights: 26-year-old male had suffered from  dizziness  in walking and standing.  He had a headache while eating and tilting his head forward. The patient consulted  internal, cardiac, and neurological and ENT specialists  to treat the dizziness but no success. Videonystagmography, Cervical MRI  normal  ...

MY STORY & BFR At the beginning for 2020, and 10 years after his first reconstruction, my husband fell whilst snow skiing and ruptured his ACL for the 3rd time. MRI scans in February 2020 also revealed a tear in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and a large chondral lesion on the medial femoral condyle. Third ACL reconstructions aren’t that common and require a highly individualized approach. Full lower limb XRAYS and knee MRIs were taken to carefully analyze the alignment of both my husband’s legs and the alignment of the current graft and tunnel. It was decided that the it wouldn’t be sensible to try a third reconstruction without changing the position and angle of the ACL graft. This would involve a two-staged surgery over several months.   The first surgery involved removing the previous hardware and perform a bone graft on the original tunnel using allograft tissue. Although he was allowed to WBAT following this surgery, it took well over 4 weeks...
