With the explosion of cycling as a leisure and competitive sport, wrist injuries are on the rise and physiotherapists and occupational therapists are having to spend an increasing amount of time treating patients with these injuries.
The team from Baton Rouge Physical Therapy have prepared this short video for demonstrating simple exercises for improving Range of Motion (ROM) of the wrist.
Don’t forget that you can use our 3D Joint ROM toolfor measuring Range of Motion (ROM) of the wrist in real-time.
The world of physical therapy / physiotherapy is constantly with new techniques and research.
We came across this interesting TEDx talk by Vinita Chandra Mody who is the founder of Stroma Physical Therapy, a boutique practice in New York City.
Vinita decided to open her own practice when she developed a following of loyal patients who attested to the benefits of her unique therapeutic style. She founded ICT by Stroma™ which is a vascular, neural and myofascial technique after years of working with patients and sensing body pulses and their link to symptomatic relief.
We are passionate about the world of movement and using technology to assist in the measurement and enhancement of quality of movement.
The multibillion-dollar wearables industry aims to save potential victims from this fate, but a Vanderbilt University engineering professor found a major problem: the devices are measuring the wrong thing.
Working with a local running club, an orthopedic specialist who advises the NFL Players Association and a team of Vanderbilt engineers, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Karl Zelik discovered that sensors only measuring the impact of the foot hitting pavement – which is what virtually all of them do – tell users little about the forces on bones that lead to stress fractures. His research confirmed that the vast majority of force on the bone is actually from muscles contracting, not from the foot’s impact on the ground, a finding widely overlooked by both the wearables industry and many scientific studies.

Have you or a patient recently undergone surgery that has impacted your gait? Are you finding your movements unstable or uncoordinated?
Pain – or the EXPECTATION of pain can severely impact your ability to move comfortably following surgery and it takes specific exercises to help your rehabilitation.
The Prehab Guys have prepared a series of exercises in this video which are a variety of different gait training tasks.
Remember that you can use 3D Joint ROM to measure Range of Motion in your knee or ankle and capture the quality of the patient movement to help you analyse and manage rehabilitation activities.
Picking the right pair of running shoes can make or break your running technique.
In this latest episode of the Podchat Live podcast, Dr Chris Napier: Physiotherapist and Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia (and 2:33 marathoner) summarises his recent BJSM editorial on the logical fallacies in the running shoe debate, and we talk about how runners (both uninjured and injured) should choose shoes, what the evidence tells us (and doesn’t yet tell us), how much focus and attention running shoes seem to get (and whether this is warranted), and is it just all about comfort?
In this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast the team interviews Dr. C. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, who is a former Division with a passion for movement.
Shanté is the creator of The Movement Maestro, a website and social-media based platform devoted to all things human movement and mobility related.
In this episode they discuss issues critical for physiotherapists looking to build their practices including:
-The importance of understanding the why behind a goal before setting the goal
-Why boundaries are important to set before pursuing your goals
-How to bring human connection into social media
-Building a supportive community that will serve you

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Andrew Vigotsky and Dr. Nick Rolnick back on to the show to discuss Andrew’s paper, Interpreting single amplitude in sports and rehab sciences.
In this episode, the team discuss
-What information can you conclude from a surface EMG study
-The limitations of surface EMG research
-What to look for in a surface EMG methods section
About Dr. Nicholas Rolnick:
Nick is a licensed physical therapist, the founder of the Human Performance Mechanic and the co-founder of Blood Flow Restriction Pros. He received his Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree with academic honors from Columbia University in New York City.
Through his work as a physical therapist his goal is to keep his patients in perfect balance, have the skills to recognize asymmetries and help patients enjoy the benefits of pain-free movement.
He teaches across the United States as a clinical instructor for SmartTools Plus and is an adjunct faculty member at Concordia University – Chicago where he teaches Kinesiology I and II in their MS Applied Exercise Science Program. He also speaks nationally and internationally on the use of blood flow restriction therapy for various diagnoses and populations.
About Andrew Vigotsky
Andrew is currently a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University, where he studies neuromuscular biomechanics. He has published papers in areas ranging from rehabilitation to surface electromyography methodology and biomechanical modeling. His dissertation works aims to understand the neuromechanical implications of muscular heterogeneities.
It is very rare for a TEDx talk to accumulate over 30 000 views in its first 48 hours but there is clearly an interest in the topic of access to healthcare at the moment.
In this talk, Dr. Harry Wilkins III explores exciting and titanic shifts in medicine and technology that will shape the future of rural healthcare delivery.
