An effective rotator cuff evaluation incorporates subjective patient observations and documents objective, measurable data. Let’s review some of the many parts of a rotator cuff evaluation, including the patient history, standardized assessments, a differential diagnosis, and tests for strength and range of motion.

Working our way from isolated strengthening to fully integrated movement, we’ll show you five shoulder exercises on the PrimusRS.

Here you’ll find a roundup of our most popular resources of the year, according to you, our readers. From our new COVID-19 treatment guideline videos to our first e-book about ACL recovery and more, check out the best of TherapySpark 2020.

In 200 years of studying hand dominance, we have not found clear-cut answer as to why we develop one side more than the other. But we do know hand strength and dominance affect our functional performance.

The rehab team at London Road Community Hospital are successfully restoring one patient’s strength and function for Return to Work after COVID-19. PrimusRS plays an important role in dosing the correct resistance and providing critical data for patient progress.

The data showed that each intervention provided some level of improvement.  But exercise was the most consistently effective option. More specifically, eccentric exercise was the single most effective treatment for all joints in the study

Eccentric work provides unique responses and benefits compared to concentric exercise. This session delves into the science of eccentric exercise and how the Eccentron allows you to offer controlled but targeted isolated eccentric exercise to nearly any client.

CPM is great for working on the Range of Motion in injured joints. But with the added Target Force, you’re also improving neuromuscular control, strength through range, stability, and overall endurance.

The EVJ makes your assessment and data collection better, faster, and easier.  Leave those manual tools in the past and start getting reliable data that saves you time and money with the EVJ.

If you’ve treated patients with patellar tendonitis, then you know the sesamoids in the knee. The smaller sesamoid bones of the hand and feet play a big role in other conditions, but they’re often overlooked. Let’s explore the anatomy, function, and rehab techniques for sesamoid bones.

The paper's authors summarized their evidence-based recommendations into a new Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), which can help healthcare providers and their patients make more well-informed decisions regarding their course of care.
