Lack of sleep can impair performance & increase injury risk 😴 It’s important to ask patients about sleep duration & quality. The Hooper Index can also be valuable for assessing fatigue, stress & sleep. See Hatia et al. (2024) for more info: DOI 10.7759/cureus.76635

Choose your words with care! Patients tend to interpret phrases like ‘degenerative’ and ‘wear and tear’ very negatively.  Check their understanding too - one study found that some patients thought a knee ‘effusion’ meant the joint was fused together! 🤯

Always consider bone health in patients presenting with a stress fracture. Unless these factors are addressed there's a high risk of future bone stress injuries. Multidisciplinary input may be needed for a full assessment of an athlete’s needs.

A great study from @LaurenPringels et al. in @BJSM_BMJ has found that reducing tendon compression (by limiting ankle dorsiflexion during rehab) leads to better outcomes in Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy. See full paper for details: bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsport…

The heavy isometric programme for Achilles Tendinopathy from Radovanonić et al. (2022) has somewhat gone under the radar but has lots of potential benefits 💪 It’s just one exercise and takes less than 25 mins per week!

🚨 NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨 Really pleased to announce my new systematic review has just been published in Sports Medicine today looking at what we actually mean by “proprioception training” And if the things we commonly use to measure it are actually measuring proprioception at all! 51 RCTs. 2,319 participants. And a lot of messy thinking. The big takeaway? 👉 Better balance ≠ better proprioception. 👉 Getting better at a task doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve “fixed” some underlying proprioceptive deficit. 👉 And we need to stop calling every fucking wobble board, single-leg exercise and unstable-surface drill “proprioception training” Thanks to my fellow co-authors for their hard work and efforts over the last 18 months to get this published! Link to paper is below, but if you want the full paper… then go follow me on Instagram and not this cesspit of a platform! link.springer.com/article/10…

Does inflammation play a role in tendinopathy? 🤔 We had moved away from it but recent research is suggesting both local and systemic inflammation may be part of the pathology. What do you think?

What happens when we run faster?🏃‍♂️ 1. Peak muscles forces increase, especially for the hamstrings & hip flexors 2. Acceleration is largely achieved by increasing step length at low speeds & step rate at high speeds 3. Runners may change foot strike but individual response varies

Ranking exercise parameters for Achilles Tedninopathy (AT) 🥇🥈🥉 For rehab of mid-portion AT contraction intensity appears to be key. With insertional AT dorsiflexion range may play a more prominent role. We still want to load progressively but we often start out of painful, dorsiflexed positions.

The Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) compares an athlete’s peak force during a countermovement jump with their peak force during an isometric mid-thigh pull.
