It is about time to stop using blood flow restriction (BFR) for "everything" in clinical practice. Based on limited evidence and clinical reasoning - this is a sensible guideline for clinical use

🚨 Our new paper in Sports Med Open When to start OKC after #ACLR? Our scoping review shows 🦵: ✅ ROM ≥ 100° ✅ Full extension ✅ Quad activation (no SLR lag) ✅ Pain < 3/10 ✅ Minimal knee joint effusion ✅ Walking without crutches Free Access🔓 https://t.co/EVOUK9FAgN

I really thought BFR analgesia was placebo so we did a sham-controlled crossover RCT (ant knee pain) https://t.co/oyhzFuGr8J Seems like there's something "real" there, not related to sensitisation (pressure-pain was a bust) When you need "real" strengthening but can't-good option

Our new BJSM publication 🆕 🦶 We achieved consensus for the key diagnostic domains and conditions you should consider when assessing Achilles tendinopathy. https://t.co/Iz5XUsFDjf Figure 1 summarises the recommended diagnostic process A huge thank you to all 50+ authors 👏

Considering shockwave therapy for tendon pain? Watch this video first. https://t.co/Mn0GjRcWGC I share findings of our shockwave therapy trial and how it reshaped my treatment. #AchillesTendinopathy #ShockwaveTherapy Link to paper in video description

New work from Fletcher Bright evaluating measurement invariance of the #Tendinopathy Severity Assessment-#Achilles (TENDINS-A). Takeaway being the TENDINS-A does not display item bias for age, sex, BMI, physical activity, education or household income. https://t.co/OkjxVsA2J2

1/9 Resistance training with varying numbers of variables (load, sets, weekly frequency) potently increases muscle strength and mass. However, the optimal approach for strength and hypertrophy is still up for debate. This is the most up-to-date research on it. Thread.

Elsevier asking for $1241 USD to reproduce this table in a "for profit" book. Just in case anyone thought publishers were in the education or health business. #OpenScienceNot "For profit" in scare quotes to be transparent. And no, we won't be using that table.

Do you measure fear of movement in people with #FAIS? If so for young adults with #hip pain stop using the entire Tampa and use this shortened scale that has superior structural validity 👇🏻 Free access: https://t.co/7Wl4yHRlyt @LaTrobeSEM @EdithCowanUni

You have heard of AMI and quadriceps activation deficiency following ACL injury. But did you know people with #hip #osteoarthritis have similar problems producing strong leg muscle contractions? And this is associated with inhibition from the brain? 👇🏻 https://t.co/zQq4Inc4Lu

Are you using hop distance as decision to return to sport after ACL? ℹ️Time to discuss hop distance as decision criterion for return to sport after ACL reconstruction? ------ Hop for distance is a great way to train landing Hop for distance can be useful to evaluate the quality

📢 New study alert! 🚨 Preliminary research compares LL-BFR and HLRT post-ACLR. HLRT shows higher quad EMG activity, LL-BFR could be a low-stress alternative ⚡️ Evaluating the 30-15-15-15 protocol further is essential ✌🏻 Read more🔓: https://t.co/gnKe5USyQf

One of the (many) reasons scientific publishing is broken & not fit for purpose anymore is the review process. AI might help by "pre-reviewing" papers before sending on, at least in biomedical sciences: https://t.co/OHw0bI5NVi Pre-review your own paper prior to submission?
