Super clinically relevant study on inline dyno (cheaper) and also normal data for these tests

🔑 points: W/ appropriate process inter/intra rater reliability @ 60 deg in line is excellent in healthy pop. Meaning majority of change score seen can be attributed to change in construct IKD & in line are largely interchangeable -🚫fixed or proportional bias in ACLR pop seen

Open access 🔑 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09… practical means of testing quads strength after ACL reconstruction with ⬆️ reliability ⬆️ concurrent validity ❌ fixed or proportional bias ✅ safe ✅ time efficient ✅ affordable ✅ normative values

Good to see this over the line and thanks to leads authors for work and ability to make it open access.

This is open access for two reasons: 1. We strongly believe that all research should be accessible to all people. 2. I was not asked to put up any of my own money to make that happen. In all seriousness, thanks Rich for getting this over the line!!!

This will surely be a great resource. It's tricky to find free-standing electromechanical dynamometry, but if you have access to one, use it with your post-op knees. So helpful. So reliable. So interesting. You miss it when it's gone 🥲

Quad strength assessment - no excuses anymore!! 💪

Exciting start to 2024, we share our clinical study showing inline dynamometry is reliable and cost-effective for quads strength testing. Thanks to the study team and positive response received Funded by Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis CIMA Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences Faculty of Health and Life Sciences @LivHospitals

A second paper in The Knee this month from the department, this time in collaboration with University of Liverpool. Using inline dynamometry for assessment of quadriceps strength. The Knee Resource @LivHospitals thekneejournal.com/article/S0968-…

Have you previously had an Achilles tendon Rupture? Interested in helping us understand the impact on your walking and muscle function? THEN PLEASE GET IN TOUCH #Achilles #Ruptures

A great summary of the impact of our study with The Knee Resource

What an amazingly successful #BOFAS2024 BOFAS for Liverpool Orthopaedic and Trauma Service this year. Our work (inc collaborations) accounted for 26% of all scientific presentations, successful grant application and UK FATE Audit winning the Chan Chen memorial prize. Well done everyone

Can an ACL heal without surgery? I discuss this and findings from our British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) study with the ABC abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2… Full paper: bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/2/91 Martin Englund Ewa Roos Frank Roemer Stefan Lohmander

Kudos to Alan Price presenting our research findings on acute knee injuries and ACL testing/rehab at Liverpool FC AXA training centre Dr Rachel Oldershaw 🌻 🇺🇦

Anyone have any confidence with the Lever sign for ACL tears? The most recent systematic reviews with meta analyses suggest it is accurate. Our study out soon in OJSM with 101 participants suggests otherwise Alan Price Dr Rachel Oldershaw 🌻 🇺🇦

If you struggle with your handling for the valgus stress test, try holding the knee like a guitar and have your fingers on the joint line. Keep your arms straight for nice long levers. Test in slight flexion then full extension.

Made up that our Lachman/Lachmeter®️ study has been accepted for publication. Combining the Lachman end point and Lachmeter measurements correctly ruled in/out >90% of ACL tears within 3 weeks of injury
