Reading Rehab Michael Brown

Mike and Pat quickly sat down to record a bonus episode because the squad was unable to meet this past week. Our bonus episode is on an area that both Mike and Pat are passionate about, but we still haven't really talked about on the podcast: running! This article is "Spatiotemporal and ground-reaction force characteristics as risk factors for running-related injury" by Malisoux et al 2022 (this group has a lot of good running-related research).
The abstract can be found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35049407/

This episode dives into "Where does blood flow restriction fit in the toolbox of athletic development: a narrative review of the proposed mechanisms and potential applications" by Davids et al. This was published in Sports Medicine in 2023.

Mike and Pat discuss prognosis following lateral ankle sprain. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of good research out there.

We have a special treat for you today. Mike sat down to record a bonus episode with Nick Koch! Nick is a physical therapist with the University of Utah and treats as part of their climbers clinic. In this episode, he covers the essentials for clinicians to know when they are treating pulley injuries in climbers. Our conversation spans from the importance of diagnostic imaging, differential diagnoses, to splint or not to splint, a sample treatment progression, and taping. Enjoy!
