If you consult a clinical practice guideline for any musculoskeletal condition, you'll probably see advice and education included as part of the recommendations for helping someone manage their musculoskeletal pain.
How well do the recommendations in clinical practice guidelines about what topics advice and education should cover align with the main concerns of people with back pain?
Dr Giovanni Ferreira (University of Sydney) joins JOSPT Insights to explain.

A thirty-year-old woman, who plays social basketball once each week and goes to the climbing gym at least twice each week, has been diagnosed with a traumatic medial meniscus tear.
The woman was told that surgery is the only way to 'fix' her knee so she can get back to basketball and climbing. But is that really what the research evidence says?
Professors Jonas Thorlund and Søren Skou (University of Southern Denmark) share the key findings of their DREAM trial, and its clinical implications for managing traumatic meniscal tears.

Today's episode builds on last week's discussion of how changes in the way that the nervous system works after injury can compensate for impairments like joint instability, pain and muscle inhibition.
Dr Meredith Chaput (University of Central Florida) extends the 5 phases of the visual-cognitive control chaos continuum, to link the ways to assess for cognitive compensations and how to progressively load the visual-cognitive system during sports injury rehabilitation.

Sports injury rehabilitation has moved well beyond simply focusing on physical function and recovery. There's various emphases on psychological responses to injury, mental readiness to return to sport, and now, the visual-cognitive components of recovery and return to sport.
Today, Dr Meredith Chaput (University of Central Florida) introduces the visual-cognitive control chaos continuum as a framework for sports injury rehabilitation. Her research uses functional MRI to evaluate neuroplasticity after knee injuries, focusing on understanding how people use visual attention to compensate for motor control, and how rehabilitation may better target these compensations.

You don't have to go foar to find a media story warning people off the high impacts of running, especially on concrete, and claiming that running is no good for your knees.
Maybe you've had someone in the clinic who worries that running will wear their joints out? My guest today has dedicated his career to helping runners stay healthy and running for life, and is adamant that running is a great physical activity choice, even for people with osteoarthritis and joint replacement.
Dr Jean François Esculier is a physiotherapist based in Kelowna, Canada. He leads the Research & Development team at The Running Clinic, and teaches at The University of British Columbia; his clinical practice is at MoveMed Physiotherapy.

The relationship between musculoskeletal pain and mental distress is complex. Sometimes it can feel challenging to know where to start when supporting people to get their life back when they're struggling with chronic or persistent pain.
Today, Dr Pavlos Bobos (Western University, Canada) shares his own story of recovery from serious musculoskeletal injury, and how that experience drives the work he does now as a researcher. He discusses the results of a network meta-analysis of digital interventions for managing musculoskeletal pain and depression.

What are the pros and cons of using AI chatbots in musculoskeletal rehabilitation? What are chatbot applications in education, clinical practice, and research?
How does the chatbot advice compare to the recommendations of trusted clinical practice guidelines? Dr Giacomo Rossettini shares the results of 2 new papers from his research team to answer these questions.
This episode is about the best ways clinicians can think about using AI chatbots to advance their clinical practice, while avoiding the pitfalls.

Surveys of elite adult athletes reveal high use of analgesics, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While medications like paracetamol have a generally low risk profile, certainly compared with NSAIDs or opioids, using pain medications to mask an injury or prevent pain might increase the risk of injury or make an existing injury worse.
Julie Pedersen - physiotherapist and PhD student (University of Southern Denmark) - is studying what, how, when and why youth athletes use pain medications. Today, Julie discusses how clinicians, coaches, parents and schools can support safe use of analgesics among youth athletes.

There's plenty of work going into how AI can make health care better - including in recording consultation notes, or making early cancer diagnoses, or opening up low cost ways of doing musculoskeletal imaging.
The technology and applications of AI in healthcare changes just about every week. Today, we're exploring generative AI as a help, not a hindrance to musculoskeletal rehabilitation practice.
Physiotherapists Rebecca Fechner (Queensland Paediatric Persistent Pain Service), Dr Josh Pate (University of Technology Sydney) and Professor Mick Thacker (Royal College of Surgeons Ireland) talk about ways to use chatbots and generative AI to generate ideas and solve clinical problems.
