  • A Godsend!

    This podcast and the resources available through Clinical Edge are truly a godsend for clinicians within their first few years of clinical practice. Tricky topics, up to date research, and excellent clinical reasoning for diagnosing/treating patients is unpacked in clear and engaging episodes. I love the variety in episode topics and running times as well. Makes it easy to learn in short burst or longer periods when I have the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

177. Patellofemoral pain 1 - Why it has such a high recurrence rate, and what most rehab plans miss with Tom Goom
Q: How do you identify the right load management strategies for a patient like Alice who wants to stay active?
The answer outlines a process of testing a tolerable dose, starting with smaller, testable units (e.g., running one kilometer) and progressively increasing if tolerated, while using non-provocative cross-training to maintain fitness and social elements, all while ensuring the knee does not flare. It emphasizes layering in activity and testing between sessions to find a sustainable sweet spot.
177. Patellofemoral pain 1 - Why it has such a high recurrence rate, and what most rehab plans miss with Tom Goom
Q: Tell us a little bit about patellofemoral pain. Why do you think it's such a tricky condition to treat and why does it have such a high recurrence rate?
Tom explains that patellofemoral pain is the most common running injury, more prevalent in female runners, and multifactorial. He describes contributions from biomechanics, training load, strength and power impairments, and psychosocial factors, all suggesting a long-term management approach is needed to reduce recurrence.
163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh
Q: What are the pros and cons of the cross-bracing protocol?
The cross-bracing protocol offers a non-surgical option with good potential for healing, but risks include DVT, stiffness, muscle wasting, and the need for detailed rehabilitation to ensure positive outcomes.
163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh
Q: What are the different treatment options available for ACL injuries?
There are primarily three options: early ACL reconstruction, delayed ACL reconstruction with prehabilitation, and non-operative management that may include the cross-bracing protocol.
164. Case study: Rotator cuff tear + arm symptoms. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson
Q: Would nerve conduction or imaging studies be warranted for this patient?
Jo Gibson suggests that thorough assessment of the cervical spine is crucial, and nerve conduction studies in EMG could help differentiate between peripheral and cervical nerve issues, especially given the history and symptoms mentioned.
