27. Total Knee Replacement Quick Tips with NATHAN NORR

Hello Friends! Happy to have YOU here! I have recently had the opportunity to evaluate and treat many total knees, and I wanted to take the chance to share my approach to the early rehabilitation process. I specifically focus on the first two sessions and overview the goals and timelines I set in therapy. I don't think that rehabbing a total knee needs to be difficult, although it can be frustrating at times with how slow the progress comes. Thanks for listening! **********Additional Resources********** - Wells Criteria [https://www.optimfellowship.com/uploads/3/9/5/4/39548593/wells_criteria_2.pdf] - Total Knee Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) [https://watermark02.silverchair.com/pzaa099.pdf?token=AQECAHi208BE49Ooan9kkhW_Ercy7Dm3ZL_9Cf3qfKAc485ysgAAA1AwggNMBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagggM9MIIDOQIBADCCAzIGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQManPSQG_alqb7baVnAgEQgIIDAy_6H0nHsAO4_g-CiqAlCoQSmT5nTpnIXgWjKd6ZHAAWE7H_8ZIo76zm8qejGqhFQiNE53Tw8bWfI7XLeLle1UgB_r6CPfK2dyMpt9L7UCnw__zYIHO86gZ1wo10hfuALe_WYtoLNVMsvp-Gktc7_U62Qk6qLMBXD8VUfRELIGDOMnsqaPOMUcFxTwSmMr-Q4F7kY3F2yZ5hSO0VU_3MZnP_7ePxLfXXzAud9Un1_gSWQDpwp4KGMAOYT4QPe90vHkqZz5Ni5FW0CebymmpjVkd9Q8l442wIGVs6X_Sk52oUVrFusa6bC4lPE-yelKW7Nz56mBbnLIkHAGS0Xhmq1-EfPqtmA_6PmLYPV27ytifW-CES518wUwUMTFprGMUEU9VGCqboJRyA6scvVz0aOQA4U3-xkg__xEExT_VWXwK8ZVYo3A746GX1llcIJFigrNEkR40Mb7N1bn3PwTVSPkv2sU3IE1u0-yGwwY0GDM3raPQZ0hpCeqs8lv6wbS0g80HyO3qvAACYXDQ5wBihVOTibO56eyhRrLmCj3Ub80vRasophUIxyu8kCxWM4FJ8DjdE4PZeQxuO65KkDmX5fNJdpMUEhaXqDfBRQrsC3pMsUk1mdwdCwfvph9jQ8rgKNiWmGL76gFwQSS5fUadMlxzpw0a4FsfreJrp7K8Q7DLjbSE9XLwHq8hul31wC5TvZuNI58I0HvV-v3LKWygGxu7VrPcPMvqBku9fzm-6iKNOewNdnIMVClPpJg2fgE8_pjiQshoju3Au41MnRO88EDW9V-YX4_aMlNitopntUKNVh2klqxPThGz-IEvJ2kazZYWnZkUddnk3JaRFDFK6ukIAdKksdm17Jv6hLcsgEyOZMJU6OgE2ueVZmi0EkhCg2o9097A-QXoe2ZjPQEv8QrY7AH8ffbQMTs3tuTmm4KgO7NPBZgWgvZUCunSbB7cL5zK2tGoZH_ePWUoL6-wLdI0thkibtjN3qiwYJElf5sfu5fJwlHWrFRA01Xwz38s0ipE1Ug] **********Disclaimer********** This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical advice and expertise.

24. Achilles Tendinopathy CPG with NATHAN NORR

Welcome! Happy to have you here! Support the podcast by subscribing The first episode of many exploring clinical practice guidelines for Physical Therapists. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are compilations of data that are condensed into guidelines and given ratings of strength for application. It's important to know the levels of evidence available, but sometimes the guidelines are super vague and unhelpful. I want to fix that. I go over the evidence, why the rating was given and how to apply it. This is my first go at this, but I found it very insightful and the future ones will only get better.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
