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
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.
We’ve been busy over the last couple of years trying to find solutions to clinical problems. This is our current set up for testing quadriceps strength using the @VALDPerformance Dynamo Max based on our study sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
The @VALDPerformance Dynamo Max and @KinventOfficiel both have pull dynamometers with sampling rates of 1000 Hz or higher, so one of our next projects is to validate methods of measuring RFD versus our new HUMAC NORM
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 @_alanprice_ @rach_liv_uni
Kudos to @_alanprice_ presenting our research findings on acute knee injuries and ACL testing/rehab at @LFC AXA training centre @rach_liv_uni

Can an ACL heal without surgery?
I discuss this and findings from our @BJSM_BMJ study with the ABC

What an amazingly successful #BOFAS2024 @BOFAS_UK for @Liverpool_Ortho this year. Our work (inc collaborations) accounted for 26% of all scientific presentations, successful grant application and @FATEaudit winning the Chan Chen memorial prize. Well done everyone

A great summary of the impact of our study with @thekneeresource
A @CIMA_Ageing-funded study published in @TheKneeJournal details an innovative strength testing method that could make rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament surgery far more accessible for many. ➡️bit.ly/49gPH1W

Fantastic opportunity to learn here from an international expert here, and this is a free event, but you must register, see link tcdcpsemguestlecture.rsvpify…

A second paper in @TheKneeJournal this month from the department, this time in collaboration with @LivUni. Using inline dynamometry for assessment of quadriceps strength. @thekneeresource @LivHospitals

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

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 🥲

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

🔑 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

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