In this episode of the How I Rehab podcast by Sports MAP we chat with Luke Heath, one of the Senior Physiotherapists at Aspetar. Luke has […] The post #34 How I Rehab: Common Deficits in ACL Rehabilitation with Luke Heath first appeared on The Sports MAP Network.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob sits down with Physiotherapist and Head of the Assessment Lab at Aspetar, Roula Kotsifaki to delve into the critical role of technology and specific testing protocols in determining an athlete's readiness to return to play after an ACL injury. Roula emphasizes the importance of measuring asymmetries, movement quality, and strength to prevent future injuries. Key highlights include the construction of sensitive testing protocols to measure key competencies. Roula discusses the significance of hop tests and jump tests in identifying asymmetries and the role of landing variability in ACL rehabilitation. She highlights the use of 3D force plates and cameras to accurately assess power metrics and joint contributions during vertical and horizontal jumps, which are crucial for evaluating an athlete's readiness. Roula also details which metrics we should trust and which we shouldn't, and that includes her questioning the use of rate of force development related metrics. Furthermore, Roula stresses that successful return to play after ACL surgery requires comprehensive rehabilitation and shouldn't be determined by a timeline. Just because you are at 9-months post surgery, it doesn't mean that you're ready. Being "ready" should be based on achieving specific competencies. Listeners can gain insights into the best practices for ACL rehabilitation, the use of technology in assessing readiness, and the critical metrics for ensuring a safe and effective return to play. Key points: Importance of technology in ACL rehabilitation. Measure asymmetries to prevent future injuries. Choosing sensitive testing protocols. Hop tests options. 3D force plates assess joint contributions. Problems with rate of force development metrics. Comprehensive rehab before returning to sport. Why the minimum 9 month timeframe for ACL recovery

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is speaking to Podiatrist & Research Scientist at Aspetar, Athol Thomson. Athol is on the podcast to speak about the impact of athlete footwear on performance and injury risk but also about playing surface and how that affects injury risk. But not only that, he is hear to give recommendations for what practitioners can do to reduce these risks. In the first half of the episode Athol discusses what impact footwear can have on injuries from a global perspective. He then dives into the detail when it comes to footwear that is made for soft ground, hard ground and artificial ground. This leads to him discussing rotational forces and why its important to consider these forces when advising on footwear. In the second half of the episode he discusses if we can mitigate some of the unresearched (but well discussed) issues when transitioning between different surfaces. And can practitioners get a better, more detailed idea about the playing surface prior to his/her players running out so more objective decisions can be made on footwear selection. This is an under discussed area among the sports science and S&C community but it could have a huge impact on our athletes injury risk should we understand more. Give it a listen! Main talking points - Population specific footwear "Pink it and shrink it" philosophy of boot manufactuers Guidance for practitioners on understanding their playing surfaces better Shoe selection and playing surface The importance of understanding rotational forces and footwear Training the foot - this could be a big topic if you're up for going deeper on it? Boot selection and injury risk

This week's guest on the Pacey Performance Podcast is Rod Whiteley; he is a Specialist Sports Physiotherapist working as the Assistant Director of the Rehabilitation Department at Aspetar Sports Medicine Hospital in Doha, Qatar. He previously worked as a Physiotherapist in elite rugby league, rugby union, and baseball. After gaining his PhD from the University of Sydney in 2009, he has since diversified his research interests to football, handball, and volleyball. Rod gives us an overview on three main subjects; ACL injuries, the changing trends in how physiotherapists are learning new best practice, and the performance benefits and research surrounding Nordics. Rod has noticed how physios are finding their information, research and new techniques from places other than formal training and conferences, and seeks to understand how effective this is and its wider impact. He combines this knowledge with some great advice on ACL injuries and training that will prevent occurrences, plus how to know when an athlete is ready to return to action. He also explains why Nordics are not always a part of every coach's training programme. For all this and more, hit the play button now to hear all this outstanding insight from a physiotherapist with over 30 years' experience in the industry.

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast. In this episode I'm delighted to speak with Physiotherapist Dr Kieran O'Sullivan.Kieran graduated as a physiotherapist from the University College Dublin in 1999. In 2004 he completed an MSc in Manipulative Therapy at Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia. In 2005, he started lecturing at the University of Limerick.In 2008 he was awarded specialist member status by the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists. From 2016-2019, he took a 3-year career break to act as Lead Physiotherapist at the Sports Spine Centre at Aspetar, Qatar, and he shares his experience of this in the episode.His research interest is musculoskeletal pain and injury, particularly persistent spinal pain. He completed his PhD on persistent low back pain. In this episode we talk about: The progression of the BPS model and the barriers and facilitators influencing this progression. His experience of working within the different cultural and social contexts at Aspetar, Qatar. The systemic, organisational and structural factors related to clinicians practice behaviour and the challenges of implementing a BPS framework. The 'swinging pendulum' argument of the the BPS model in MSK practice. How we might inadvertently trivialise, invalidate or stigmatise patients experiencing MSK pain. His ideas around approaching MSK colleagues who hold misconceptions, unhelpful beliefs or adopt outdated treatment models. A communication strategy which has been affiliated with him - the 'Kieran O'Sullivan talk back Technique'  Kieran has been a frequently requested guest, and it's clear why. I really enjoyed talking to Kieran, his calm, warm and wise words were really effective in charting a way forward to overcome some of the challenges of implementing a biopsychosocial approach to practice.Kieran is on Twitter @kieranosullSubscribe to www.wordsmatter-education.com , and if you liked the podcast, you'll love the Words Matter online course in effective language and communication when managing back pain - ideal for all MSK therapists and students. Instagram @Wordsmatter_educationTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Spotlight on Sports and Exercise Medicine — Peter Fowler is a research scientist specialising in performance recovery.His research at Aspetar focuses on the impact of travel and sleep on performance recovery. Specifically, developing practical interventions for athletes that enhance recovery following travel, and minimise sleep disruption due to contextual factors, including long-haul travel, evening training/competition and environmental influences, particularly heat and altitude exposure. Peter gives our listeners some practical advice on reducing the effects of jet lag and travel fatigue prior to competition.

Injured athletes like to recover and return to play as quickly as possible, and we need to balance return to play against impaired strength, performance and risk of reinjury. Initial injury rehabilitation often commences with isometric exercises, progressing into concentric/eccentric style exercises when isometric tests are pain-free. Finally high load eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring are introduced for their positive effects of increased strength, fascicle length and reduced injury risk. High level and eccentric exercises are often avoided in the early stages of rehab, for fear of aggravating the injury. What if we could commence higher-level and eccentric exercises safely at an earlier stage? Would this impair or accelerate your patients' recovery? In this podcast with Jack Hickey, currently completing a PhD with the QUT/ACU hamstring injury research group, we explore an accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation program, and how this can be implemented with your patients. You will discover: The limitations of traditional rehabilitation What is the evidence for only using isometric exercises in the early stages of rehab Why eccentric exercises are commonly thought of as too high a load for initial rehab More modern rehabilitation programs for hamstring strain injuries, including the Askling (2013), Aspetar (2017) and Mendiguchia (2017) programs An accelerated rehab program, introducing higher-level and eccentric exercises at an early stage How often high-level exercises need to be performed Which exercises you can use with your hamstring injury patients How to know when to progress your patient's exercises When you can start your patient's rehabilitation When your patients can return to running How to progress your patience through a return to running program When your patients are suitable for return to sport Download this podcast and subscribe on iTunes   Links associated with this episode: Get your free access to Sports Injuries presentations with Dr Ebonie Rio, Jack Hickey, Dr Adam Weir, Dr Michael Rathleff, Jo Gibson and Prof Bill Vicenzino Jack Hickey David Pope on Twitter Clinical Edge on Facebook Have a free trial Clinical Edge membership ACU open access hamstring journal repository Dr David Opar on Twitter Dr Anthony Shield Dr Morgan Williams Dr Matthew Bourne Nicol van Dyk Rod Whiteley Nirav Maniar Ryan Timmins Dr Steve Duhig Sliding discs to use in hamstring slider exercises in your clinic - available in Australia.

What are the odds? Understanding Risk and Uncertainty. Today we welcome Dr. Rod Whiteley for the first time ever to the BJSM podcast. Rod has done a bunch of work in shoulder injuries (measuring load and strength long before it got sexy). And the rumour is he’s still got a pretty good curve ball. A clinician for well over 20 years, He is the current assistant director of the Rehab department here at Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital, and he has also contributed heavily in the area of hamstring rehabilitation and groin injuries. Look out for him on twitter @RodWhiteley, where’s he’s happy to be unpopular to point out the obvious. Rod is a clinical researcher, interested in how practitioners can understand statistics better, and integrate that in their daily practice. In this podcast, Rod and I talk about how we understand risk, in particular percentages and odds. And no, they’re not the same thing. 2:45 The difference between odds, ratios, and percentages. 3:20 An example: ACL and hamstring injuries as an example, looking at the base rate for how often these injuries happen (ACL infrequently, and hamstrings quite frequent), and then adding a likelihood ratio and how does that change the odds. 5:20 Chad Cook and Erik Hegedus really turned our ideas around interpreting risk around. Clinicians need to understand pre- and post-test odds. Find the related articles here (http://bmj.co/2m65v43) and in the links below. 6:30 Mladen Jovanovic (@Physical_Prep) - heuristics and uncertainty, published recently here (http://bmj.co/2nrRUUX) in the Aspetar journal. We have to get more comfortable with the uncertainty of these tests. 7:46 Understand base rates, and using tests that have large likelihood ratios in our clinical assessment. Pre-test odds will influence how you interpret your clinical test, which then changes your post-test odds. 10:14 Can we do the same for prevention, and identifying risk? IOC world conference prevention of injury and illness in sport (http://bmj.co/2m64AR8) in Monaco will focus this year on the value of screening. Screening allows us to identify modifiers and change potential interventions at a group level. 10:31 The importance of population level studies, looking for associations with subsequent injury. Screening is useful for injury prevention. “But if you’re doing a test to tell someone they are or aren’t gonna get injuried, you’re gonna make a monkey of yourself in open court pretty quickly.” 12:27 WHO report on risk of cancer risk associated with eating bacon/processed meat. If we ignore the base rate, we might be fooled by the actual change in risk. And then you still need to interpret that for the individual. 14:00 Absolute vs Relative risk, and what is the actual event happening. We don’t think of delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) and sudden cardiac death the same. 14:15 Two players with the same risk of injury, but totally different interpretation of their result. 15:12 Predicting vs Forecasting - “An experiment that only happens once.” You only get one season and and you either get an injury or you don’t. We have to be more comfortable with that kind of uncertainty. 16:35 Predicting return to play with clinical outcome measures. 18:30 How do we interpret and incorporate percentages and odds into our clinical setting.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am chatting to football physiologist at ASPETAR in Qatar, Richard Akenhead. Richard's name often gets brought up when chatting about GPS and load monitoring when I am out and about in my day job. There seems to be a lot of skepticism still around the use of GPS and accelerometers to measure load so I thought it would be pertinent to get an expert on in this area. I would encourage you to check out Richard's research in the link below. In this episode you will learn - Who is Richard Akenhead (background, education and current role) Current research with accelerometers for player management & rehab Creating the right environment during rehab with regards to constraints and context Coaching, the language barrier and making an impact Training load monitoring and the dangers of reductionism This episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast is sponsored by Coach Me Plus.

One of the most common complaints of athletes visiting clinicians is leg pain exacerbated by exercise. In this podcast, UK vascular surgeon Rob Hinchliffe explains how iliac artery endofibrosis develops in the sportsperson. He discusses the diagnostic approach for the clinician, potential therapies and gaps in the knowledge about this relatively new pathology, which too often remains undiagnosed for long periods of time. Thanks to BJSM editorial board member and sports physician Dr Yorck Olaf Schumacher from Aspetar, Qatar for having the idea and recording this fascinating podcast.

Many athletic events, such as the current Wimbledon Tennis Championships, are staged in hot to very hot environmental conditions. Clinicians should be aware of the risks posed to athletes competing under heat stress and how to mitigate them. Dr. Julien Périard is a former successful triathlete and now works at Aspetar, Qatar, as a senior research scientist investigating athletic performance under heat stress conditions. BJSM's Liam West (@Liam_West) poses questions about what heat illness encompasses, what signs and symptoms to look for and how to take care of athletes.
