@FabianaTassone Let's stop with the anectodes! What does the evidence say?

From the American Academy of Pediatrics:
"Appropriately designed resistance training programs have no apparent negative effect on linear growth, physeal health, or the cardiovascular system"

On today's episode of “PUTTING YOUR IGNORANCE ON DISPLAY!” What does a partial- and full-thickness tear look like? Today, I had a sudden understanding/facepalming moment...
@Retlouping @ShoulderGeek1 @DrJN_SportsMed @JeremyLewisPT Here was my thought, how can a full-thickness tear be small-medium-large when its FULL thickness? Full is full, how can it be small? This might be obvious to u...

Here was my internal image of what a partial and full-thickness tear looked like.

Self-reflection after reading @Retlouping blog on clinical testing to see if I understand the principles. In plain language.

Pre-test probability = Your % confidence that the patient has the diagnosis BEFORE clinical testing (still a bit unclear how this is calculated)

Post-test probability = Your confidence that the patient has the diagnosis AFTER clinical testing

So far so good I think.

My chiro friend is going over "IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME" of the shoulder at school. So I pointed him to these 4 articles. Might only be a colloquial term for some, but still... Let's put "impingement" behind us. We can and should do better!

‼️The nail in the coffin for the "Ober test" and "Modified Ober test" for Iliotibial Band Syndrom (ITBS)‼️
@Retlouping @rwilly2003 @tomgoom @KThorborg @DerekGriffin86 @AdamMeakins Claims:

1: The aim of the Ober test and the Modified Ober test is to assess the ITB.
2: The Ober test and Modified Ober test claims to assess ITB tightness

‼️‼️Sigle-leg Deadlift (SDL) is NOT better than the Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) in the prevention of hamstring injuries.‼️‼️
A summation of a SINGLE article:

@KThorborg @NicolvanDyk @arnlaugw Image Catchy heading? Yes, it is a bit hyperbole. Now, on to the article.

‼️The paradox of isometric strength testing‼️
Strength output is dependent on a lot of factors, one of them being at what joint angle the muscle has to work against a force.
@Retlouping @alisongrimaldi @PeterBrukner @JOSPT @NicolvanDyk @davidopar Some muscles, we test at their "optimal" angle, whilst others we place at a less favourable angle for producing torque.

The classical explanation of annulus fibrosus failure is NOT the anatomy of failure in lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
@PeteOSullivanPT @PeterBrukner @kieranosull @MaryOKeeffe007 @function2fitnes @AdamMeakins Image Excuse my (hopefully) catching and maybe slight provocative heading. I am a physiotherapy student who wants to embark on this exploratory journey with the hopeful help of more experienced minds.
