In this month’s resources, we start by sharing a link to a randomised trial looking at the effect of progressive tendon-loading exercise therapy in the management of patellar tendinopathy.

We also have two podcasts to share, the first a recent Physio Explained episode looking into open-chain knee extension exercises for knee pain, as well as a podcast with Tom Jesson chatting with David Butler about nerve root pain.

Lastly, we have another ‘Outside the Box’ article, looking at the wide-ranging benefits of life-long learning with the mind of a ‘beginner’.

Physiotherapy Clinical Resources – October 2020

Luke McManus · October 31, 2020 ·

The past few months have seen a lot of great clinical resources come out for physiotherapists, most of which are open access to read or listen to.

This month I’ve put together links to a systematic review looking at the effectiveness of isometric exercise in tendinopathy management, as well as a research paper (FIDELITY study) looking at the 5-year follow up for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy compared to placebo surgery for degenerative meniscus tears.

We’ve also got a great new podcast to share, showcasing the new ‘Physio Explained’ by the crew at Physio Network. This is episode two of their podcast, looking at the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome with Dr Jo Kemp.

This month’s Outside the Box is an article from one of my favourite sites to read, Gates Notes. This is a short 3-minute review by Bill Gates of the book ‘Why We Sleep‘ by Professor Matthew Walker.
