    Hyper Realist Bombs 5 - A Russian Thunder Run to Kyiv? Battle of Bakhmut and Future Economic Trends

    Strategikon is back in 2023 and we are kicking off the year with Round 5 of the Hyper Realist Bombs series. Our good friend Rhoderick Miller returns to the podcast to discuss the latest developments from the Russia / Ukraine conflict, from his hyper realist perspective. John, David and Rhoderick discuss the present state of the Russian military, including whether it’s military production is struggling to keep up with the demands of the conflict, as well as the current situation in the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut and Russia's likely next step. They also analyse the current and future trends of the post - covid global economy, as many countries attempt to fill a manufacturing void left by China. This podcast is produced by Michael Migali for SAGE International Australia.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Do psychological, cognitive, and contextual factors influence rehab outcomes in Achilles tendinopathy?

    This week I talk about a feasibility cohort study which sought to determine whether a larger cohort study addressing this question would be feasible.

    Does high load and high strain exercise have any benefit for Achilles tendinopathy?

    We have known for a while that type of exercise intervention (e.g. intensity, frequency, etc) does not seem to influence self-reported outcomes such as pain. Maybe all the benefits from exercise are explained by non-specific effects, or maybe exercise has benefits that do not depend on the type of exercise. In this episode, I discuss 3 studies that look into (at least partly) other benefits that we may see at the level of the muscle and tendon from higher-load exercise interventions.  References: Radovanović, G., Kunz, J., Bohm, S., Arampatzis, A. and Legerlotz, K., 2021.

    Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy - the forgotten tendinopathy

    This week, I had an engaging conversation with Anthony Nasser, an up-and-coming researcher on tendinopathy who recently completed his PhD on proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Our discussion covered the reasons for the lack of research attention towards this condition, the current state of evidence, and insights from his doctoral studies. You can find the full conversation here.Here are Anthony's related publications: Nasser, A.M., Pizzari, T., Grimaldi, A., Vicenzino, B., Rio, E. and Semciw, A.I., 2021.

    How useful is palpation for diagnosis and assessment?

    Palpation can be useful for the diagnosis and assessment of tendinopathy, but there are limits. This is because non-painful tendons can be tender, and tenderness in painful tendons seems to be very slow to get better.  Link to Evidence for Improvement in Local but not Diffuse Pressure Pain Thresholds Following Physical Therapist Interventions for Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review Link to  Reproducibility and clinical utility of tendon palpation to detect patellar tendinopathy in young basketball players See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
