This fortnight’s episode of the MMRU podcast features physiotherapist and PhD candidate Eman Merza. Eman explains how mechanical loading is associated with Achilles tendon volume and the studies that she designed to measure changes in Achilles tendon volume in response to exercise.
If you find this episode interesting, stay tuned for part two of our conversation later this year where Eman will talk about the results of her studies. Eman will answer the questions of what load parameters lead to the greatest changes in Achilles tendon volume and how tendon volume changes relate to patient outcomes.

Balance exercise needs to be challenging to be effective, so it is important to consider how we measure balance exercise intensity.
But how would you go about measuring the intensity of balance exercise?
On this fortnight's episode of the @MonashMRU podcast Dr Mel Farlie talks about the Balance Intensity Scale, how and why it was developed and how practitioners and patients can use this scale to measure the intensity of balance exercise.
Dr Mel Farlie is a physiotherapist with experience primarily in the field of gerontology, with an interest in measuring balance in clinical populations. Her research focuses on the measurement of balance and the intensity of balance exercise. Mel works in Monash University Physiotherapy as an educator and early career researcher and is a member of the Monash Musculoskeletal Research Unit.
Here are links to the studies that were discussed on this episode.

For many clinicians, the pathway from clinical practice to research involves a major effort and change of direction, networking with a lot of people and gaining a lot of new skills. For many clinicians, ‘how do I get into research’ is a question without a clear answer.
In this episode, MMRU co-host Luke Perraton talks to Monash University Physiotherapy graduate Brian Kim about his experiences in conducting and publishing research during his undergraduate training. Brian gives us some great tips for getting the most out of your university research training, taking what you know about research into the clinic with you and finding ways into research as a clinician. If you are a clinician who is interested in being involved in research, this episode is for you.
It was a really interesting conversation. If you want to ask a question or add a comment you share the episode and tag us @MonashMRU

The @MonashMRU podcast is back for 2022!
People with Achilles tendinopathy often need to undertake a long rehabilitation program of at least 12 weeks. Little is known about the load people place through their Achilles tendon during daily activities or the relationship between daily pain, physical activity and tendon loading.
Sanam’s PhD research involves the use of wearable sensors in people with tendinopathy to understand proxy measures of tendon loading and investigate how pain can affect daily activities.
If you are interested in tendinopathy research, or the use of sensors in musculoskeletal research, you will find this episode really interesting.
Sanam also discusses the findings of her systematic review which investigated the relationship between ankle plantarflexor strength and walking speed/balance:. You can read this paper here: https://academic.oup.com/ptj/article/101/4/pzab018/6106269?login=true
It was great to get Sanam on to the podcast to talk about her research.

Episode 16 of the MMRU podcast is another @MonashMRU team discussion on study feasibility and quality.
This is a conversation about the realities of adapting research projects to the research landscape that we are in since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The conversation is again led by MMRU member Tim Trevail who is a program director at Torrens University and a sports injury specialist at Complete Sports Care in Melbourne, Australia. Tim is joined by physiotherapist and PhD candidate Josh Naunton, physio and PhD candidate Pat Vallance and tendinopathy researcher and expert clinician Peter Malliaras.

He specialises in the technique of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the functional properties (neuroplasticity) of the human brain, in particular the primary motor cortex.
In this episode of the @MonashMRU podcast, Dawson gives us a detailed run down on acute exercise prescription variables and methods to monitor and manipulate these variables. If you prescribe exercise in clinical practice you will find this episode really interesting. Dawson dives into the details of exercise prescription parameters but he also provides specific examples for clinicians to consider; for example, determining load volume and considerations/methods for measuring intensity and load.
Mentioned in this conversation:

Episode 14 of the MMRU podcast is a @MonashMRU team discussion on study quality.
This is a conversation that will be really useful for clinicians who want some tips on assessing the quality of the studies that they read, undergraduate or postgraduate students who are learning core evidence-based practice skills and PhD students.
The conversation is led by MMRU member Tim Trevail who is a program director at Torrens University and a sports injury specialist at Complete Sports Care in Melbourne, Australia. Tim is joined by physiotherapist and PhD candidate Josh Naunton, physio and PhD candidate Pat Vallance and tendinopathy researcher and expert clinician Peter Malliaras.
The conversation covers sources of bias in study design, the role of placebo control, considerations for studies of the effectiveness of injections vs. exercise, why the sample size calculation matters and what it means and the real reason (statistically) why systematic reviews are useful. The goal of reading a study is to 'read the fine print' and know enough about the methods and findings to be able to make your own conclusions. This conversation will help you read the fine print.

We learn that idiopathic toe walking is a diagnosis of exclusion and Cylie gives a summary of some of the other serious conditions that should be excluded prior to diagnosing the condition. We also talk about other important research Cylie completed during her NHMRC fellowship related to wound care.
This is Cylie’s paper that was mentioned in the episode:

Don’t be put off by the title. This is a fascinating conversation between MMRU's Pat Vallance and digital health researcher and physiotherapist Dr Mark Merolli.
It is also a really timely conversation with many musculoskeletal practitioners jumping into the deep end with one or more aspects of digital health over the last 12 months, many for the first time.
Dr Mark Merolli is a senior lecturer/research fellow in the Centre for Health, Exercise, and Sports Medicine (CHESM) and department of physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne and a senior physiotherapist at Complete Sports Care in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia.
Mark provides us with an overview and definition of digital health and the many forms it takes, how we can appraise the quality of digital health tools and how clinicians can embrace but also understand the limitations of new technology.
