Foot and ankle injuries are very common and can be difficult to diagnose.
Listen to this masterclass by @DrMeraliTO on @MskMatters to improve your approach to foot and ankle injuries

The SETPACE Trial published in @AJPMRjournal
Conclusion: Addressing patient confidence to complete exercise has the potential to improve participation in patients following stroke.
Thank you @MacalusoSteven @Stephmarrocco for all your hard work!

By considering all aspects of a person which may impact daily function, Physiatry is about working towards improving the life of my patients.
We get to focus on goals, and ultimately what matters most to our patients.

Season 3 Episode 3: Physical Activity & Brain Health
@Baycrest researcher Dr. Nicole Anderson explains the strong evidence behind exercise as a protective factor for dementia.

First rotation of PGY2 @UofT_Physiatry on a cardiac rehab rotation at @TRI_UHN. Where else can you get a quick workout between patients!?
Thank you to the @TorontoRehab staff for letting me test out my VO2.
Any guesses what it was?

Season 3 Episode 2: Sleep 😴
Dr. @bmarcello13 explains how sleep is an active, restorative experience that optimizes function while awake. Sleep is tied to mood & pain, and plays an important role in cognition, emotion, injury & chronic disease.

Episode 2 of @MskMatters season 3 is live! Had a blast recording with @alirendely and @bmarcello13 all about the role of sleep, how to get the best night sleep, and my new favourite term, the napuccino!
Our team at goodlabs.studio/aboutus recently published an open-sourced dataset of simulated patient-physician conversations to train NLP models.
Special thank you to @NationalDefence for funding our Syndrome Anomaly Detection System project.

Season 3 Episode 1: Nutrition and Physical Activity
@mackinprof discusses the role that nutrition and physical activity play through the decades to help optimize function as patients age
It’s hard to “out nutrition” inactivity, but exercise is the forgiver of many sins!
KEY POINT: Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG) are extensions of the physical exam. The investigations need to be tailored to a specific clinical question we are trying to answer.

Hennemans size principle helps understand motor unit recruitment and configuration. Small units are recruited first, followed by larger units when increasing muscle force. Increased action potential frequency can also increase force.
10/
Electromyography involves a needle into a muscle belly. Measures insertional and spontaneous activity, motor unit potential configuration, and recruitment pattern.
9/
Nerve conduction studies contain motor and sensory components measuring latency, conduction velocity, and amplitude.
Broadly latency and velocity are related to myelin (myelin increases conduction speed)
Amplitude = # of axons (how much signal do we see)
