Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare disease that primarily affects connective tissue. Let's review the research, best practices, and multidisciplinary approaches to treating this condition.

Joint protection helps prevent deformities, slows the progression of joint damage, and can help post-surgery healing. Let’s explore exercises, mechanics, modifications, adaptive equipment, and orthotics for joint protection.

When deciding what type of exercise program is best, people with diabetes must understand their bodies and how they respond to resistance training or high-intensity exercise. Many individuals prefer eccentric exercise, as we can be three-times stronger eccentrically than concentrically.
-
The Lee Silverman Voice Technique focuses on big amplitude of movement to compensate for the hypokinesia associated with PD. All exercises are performed with the largest possible motion. This high-intensity exercise helps improve neuroplasticity of movement.

Since sciatica is a form of radiculopathy, a lumbar herniated disc is usually to blame. Some research shows that a lumbar herniated disc causes up to 90% of sciatica cases. Stretches and exercise are often the most effective methods to address sciatica pain.
-
Patients in this position often have one priority: get back the use of their affected extremity. Stroke assessments like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery and the Beck Depression Inventory help clinicians make important decisions in the recovery process.
-
Research has been gradually amassing over the years in favor of eccentric training. Many controlled trials show increased strength, size, and control of muscles after eccentric training.
-
Preventive exercise programs may be able to reverse the trend. But only if they effectively address the root causes. Here you’ll find a review of the literature on fall risks for older adults and interventions that can help prevent fall-related deaths.

The sit to stand is one of the most important movements of everyday life. Patients recovering from COVID-19 will be dealing with physical limitations that make this important function harder. In this video, we'll show you how to use your PrimusRS to help your patients achieve a safer sit to stand. You can use this exercise with patients who are severely deconditioned.
-
As COVID-19 patients make their recovery, some will have been severely deconditioned. Learn how to strengthen the ankles, knees, and hips with gentle eccentric resistance to get your patients up and moving again.
-
Learn how to provide early intervention with Eccentron to get patients moving, even those who have difficulty tolerating exercise.

As Ben Goldacre writes in his enlightening book, Bad Science, Cochrane's long-respected analysis "has revealed that 'best practices' were sometimes murderously flawed, and simply by sifting methodologically through preexisting data, it has saved more lives than you could possibly imagine."
