Hi Phillip
Our understanding of special tests is they test for one specified condition, if this is a correct definition, is the scapular retraction test a special test or strength test? In the prac manual it is an extension of strength tests, but we are wondering does the definition you wrote "testing for scapular involvement in a positive strength test" mean it is special test for scapular involvement?
Asking because we want to include it in the correct section in the assignment objective assessment.
Thanks
Keely

Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of ankle sprains: update of an evidence-based clinical guideline

Abstract

This guideline aimed to advance current understandings regarding the diagnosis, prevention and therapeutic interventions for ankle sprains by updating the existing guideline and incorporate new research. A secondary objective was to provide an update related to the cost-effectiveness of diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions and prevention strategies. It was posited that subsequent interaction of clinicians with this guideline could help reduce health impairments and patient burden associated with this prevalent musculoskeletal injury. The previous guideline provided evidence that the severity of ligament damage can be assessed most reliably by delayed physical examination (4-5 days post trauma). After correct diagnosis, it can be stated that even though a short time of immobilisation may be helpful in relieving pain and swelling, the patient with an acute lateral ankle ligament rupture benefits most from use of tape or a brace in combination with an exercise programme.

New in this update: Participation in certain sports is associated with a heightened risk of sustaining a lateral ankle sprain. Care should be taken with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) usage after an ankle sprain. They may be used to reduce pain and swelling, but usage is not without complications and NSAIDs may suppress the natural healing process. Concerning treatment, supervised exercise-based programmes preferred over passive modalities as it stimulates the recovery of functional joint stability. Surgery should be reserved for cases that do not respond to thorough and comprehensive exercise-based treatment. For the prevention of recurrent lateral ankle sprains, ankle braces should be considered as an efficacious option.

Clinical assessment of acute lateral ankle sprain injuries (ROAST): 2019 consensus statement and recommendations of the International Ankle Consortium

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Lateral ankle sprain injury is the most common musculoskeletal injury incurred by individuals who participate in sports and recreational physical activities. Following initial injury, a high proportion of individuals develop long-term injury-associated symptoms and chronic ankle instability. The development of chronic ankle instability is consequent on the interaction of mechanical and sensorimotor insufficiencies/impairments that manifest following acute lateral ankle sprain injury.

There are 2 reasons for subacromial shoulder impingement:
There are 2 reasons for subacromial shoulder impingement:
1. The humeral head glides superiorly
2. The acromion tilts downwards through dysfunctional scapular positioning

We always need to question the relevance of radiodiagnostic findings.

Many times, asymptomatic individuals have positive findings radiologically, so a positive finding needs to be clinically related to the condition in question.

I was really happy with the approach of students in this week's simulated patient pracs. 
You didn't get flustered. Your mobility screening and gait aid education showed that many of you had gone over the material and practised.
Good job, everyone.

I was really pleased with the effort and preparation that Bundoora students put in to the week 1 pracs.
You looked at the movies beforehand and showed a willingness to learn. We have had some students practising on the 5th floor too. Well done, keep it up.

 All physiotherapy students can join the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), for free. There are some good resources available and lectures scheduled that you can participate in, which you might find interesting.
Just thought I'd let you know.

We will be dealing with exercises in a couple of weeks. However, fresh from PDA, you will find a different approach is required with exercise prescription in populations with pathology. Watch Carolyn Taylor explain how exercise prescription in a patient population might be different to that in a gym.

Welcome to the PTY3PDB resource Padlet
Welcome to the PTY3PDB resource Padlet
This Padlet, is basically a cloud-based bulletin board, originated and designed just for you.
 
You need to check it frequently. All announcements to students will displayed here, as well as in the Announcements Forum.
 
You are all free to post whatever you like here, relating to PDB, with the qualifications that respecting others is a fundamental assumption, remembering that it is a public wall and this is a professional environment.
 
 We will post interesting content related to PDB. There will be quiz questions to test your learning, photo's, articles, movies...anything we find that we might think you'll find interesting.
 
 You might post questions on the week's material, or raise issues from the pracs. 
 
 You might come across a great resource to share with the group. You might discover a better way to perform a technique. We have found that a Padlet is a more interesting and fun way for students to engage and share, compared to student forums.
 
While we will make all announcements here (coloured blue),  the student questions forum is still in play and will be checked. You may ask questions on this Padlet, as well.
 
 When you post, use your name as an identifier, as I have below.
 
 This Padlet is yours. Get engaged with it.
