On the latest episode of O&P Research Insights, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, is joined by Cory Cacciola, MS, CPO, to discuss Cacciola's study on the effects of a powered prosthetic ankle-foot component on musculoskeletal pain in individuals with transtibial amputation. Delving into the study's purpose, motivation, and methodology, they discuss key aspects such as inclusion-exclusion criteria, the intricacies of data collection and analysis, and potential mechanisms contributing to pain reduction.

Musculoskeletal Podiatrist & Clinical Educator - I want to work with you to help you stay at the forefront of evidence-based practice and achieve great clinical outcomes.
A best evidence approach to assessing & classifying syndesmotic injuries 👇
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. med. univ. Head of Foot and Ankle Devision at the Musculoskeletal University Center Munich (MUM)
Check out our new publication "A systematic review of studies on the diagnostics and classification system used in surgically treated, acute, isolated, unstable syndesmotic injury: a plea for uniform definition of syndesmotic injuries." has just been published with EFORT Open access. Diagnosing syndesmotic instability still remains a challenge in clinical practice. Although several studies have recently focused on WBCT to diagnose syndesmotic instability, this technique is still not widely available and the image analysis is not part of the available packages. Based on a systematic review, we present our best-evidence approach to diagnose and classify syndesmotic injuries at the MUM Muskuloskelettales Universitätszentrum München. You have full access to the publication at: https://lnkd.in/dPp-UcJT Happy for any feedback!

PhD, Paediatric Athletes Heart | Highly Specalised Echocardiographer, Royal Brompton | SCST Council Member | N. Irish living in London
Simply awesome to have two abstract posters at British Society Of Echocardiography 2024 with these two legends Abbas Zaidi & David Oxborough 💚 Inclusion of a RVWMA to detect morpho-functional abnormalities as per ACM diagnostic imaging criteria may miss up to 22% of cases by TTE alone. 💚 RVFW and segmental RVFW strain were significantly reduced in ACM patients vs. matched healthy participants. These measures may provide quantitative detection of RVWMAs; thereby increasing diagnostic yield. 💚 The lower EF and higher E/e’ observed in ACM patients were still within normal limits and may have limited clinical utility. 💚 GLS was significantly lower and fell into the borderline-low range in ACM patients; thus it may be a more useful clinical arbiter than E/e’ or LVEF.

“My therapists told me that 1 hour rehabilitation per day is enough” That was what a patient told me recently after an evaluation at the Centro Europeo de Neurociencias to carry out an intensive upper limb therapy protocol. When we carry out an intensive treatment to try to recover as much as possible the arm and hand of a person who has suffered a stroke, we have to take into account two fundamental aspects: what are we going to do, and how much are we going to do it, that is, what principles of treatment and techniques we are going to apply and in what dose. In this publication, inspired by John Krakauer I share some important principles for recovery of the upper limb after stroke. Looking forward to hear your experiences and thoughts.

Excited to get this one out, exploring speed modulation in MS! Check it out below!
Thrilled to share our latest paper on backward walking speed reserve in persons with multiple sclerosis. Does backward speed modulation provide further insights into cognitive impairment and fall risk? Our findings indicate that lower backward walking speed reserve, reflecting limited ability to increase walking speed backward, correlates with cognitive deficits in persons with MS. However, backward walking speed reserve did not demonstrate distinct advantages over other measures. Huge thanks to my coauthors on this paper, Drs. Patrick Monaghan and Nora Fritz! Stay tuned for more exciting research from our lab! https://lnkd.in/eXgwBfmv

I share research & insights on biomechanics, exoskeletons & wearable tech | Engineering Professor @VanderbiltU | Co-Founder & Chief Scientist @HeroWearExo
📊 This interesting new publication by the French National Research and Safety Institute studied 25 operators using exoskeletons to explore how their perceptions changed during the first 4 weeks of use. An excerpt: 💡 "Occupational exoskeletons hold great potential as assistive devices for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). However, realizing this potential requires long-term adoption by operators. Considering the dynamic nature of technology adoption, this study underscores the critical role of the familiarization phase in long-term adoption of occupational exoskeletons. It reveals the familiarization phase as a dynamic process during which operators adjust expectations, weigh the benefits and drawbacks, and personalize their use of the exoskeletons." 🔎 Check out the paper linked below for specific details and observations.
