Data Nerds is a new series that we are introducing which will be alternating weeks with our usual journal club podcast. In this series, we share cases from our clinical practice where we utilize objective testing to inform our decision making, with most attention paid to the results of the tests and interpretation of the information. Therefore, this works best when you can see the numbers. Luckily, these are uploaded to our YouTube channel! Check us out at https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingRehab.
This is a continuation of the case from Episode 1: Isometric testing. You can find that episode on our YouTube channel.
Since IE, Pat has been utilizing CPM mode for eccentric training of knee extension to both qualitatively and quantitatively improve his patients torque production capabilities throughout challenging ranges of motion.
The graphs demonstrate the progression his patient has made across 4 treatment sessions. We do not attribute this success to this sole intervention, but believe it is a great adjunct to track qualitative force production and provides a good stimulus along the way.
Pat discusses his rationale for modifying the exercise procotol and answers questions provided by Mike and Bryan.
