https://t.co/gDCeFZqmka New article was just published in the International Journal of MS Care. We looked at what psychosocial factors may be related to goal attainment in physical therapy: specifically, goals related to walking. 🚶🏻🚶🏻♀️🧠 Enjoy!

I used the game Spot It! for an entire treatment session recently when working on dual cognitive/motor tasking. The patient loved it and was engaged. The game is cheap and easy to learn. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend! https://t.co/l0sHksliqz

It is fascinating (and a little depressing!) how little work on ✨sustainability✨ there is in the Knowledge Translation space. Someone (maybe @RomneyWendy?) tell me I’m wrong and missed some landmark paper/researcher doing great work on this area.

Anyway. Does anyone know an Illinois/Wisconsin neuro PT comfortable with neuropathy/polytrauma? Grays Lake area.
Wanna hear something spooky? A family member’s neurologist told them PT can’t do anything for neuropathy 👻

For the record, I’ve also heard physical therapists say this. This line of thinking is so weird. It’s like, do you think PT can’t do anything for diagnoses like MS and PD too???

Neuron costume is back! What I have been guessed to be so far: - a monkey - a spider - an amoeba - a “nerd-on” (I accept this one.) Happy Halloween! 🎃 🧠

Your primary goal as a therapist is being an educator. If educating and equipping is not your primary objective then you are creating dependence.

In this hypothetical situation ENT/Audiology/Vestibular PTs/ Neuro PTs would be towards the top. But I’m wondering where EM physicians, Hospitalists, Neurologists, and Family Med would rank.
