Hey X/Twitter physio folk, does anyone work or know any physios at Leicester Royal Infirmary or Leicester General? I’m looking to find work experience for my 15 year old cousin who lives in this area. Thanks 😃

A global crowdsourcing platform tried different ways to motivate people to contribute their ideas. Which do you think was more effective?
A) Offering financial payments & other "high-powered" incentives
or
B) Giving people the opportunity to connect with others in service-orientated activities, have fun & build a sense of belonging
The answer: B) won by a mile. A) showed promise at first but was not sustainable. ‘Intrinsic joy’ sparks ideas better than cash incentives:

Thanks @paulawoods5 4 sharing this. It is an excellent resource, but if sharing widely is it worth stipulating in the document that clinicians must check local pathways? For example example, our regional MSCC pathway is different to yours (we use oncology) to avoid confusion? 🙏🏻
This is gaining some new interest so please click on the below link to get this document.
Hope it’s helpful.

The data doesn't agree. Pain distribution is not a reliable predictor of the involved level responsible for radicular pain.

88% of trials had a high risk of bias and the evidence was still only of low certainty for use of discectomy versus non-surgical treatments!

I have done my workings on the NHS pay deal and I am completely baffled that any union would accept what is on offer. A thread…

Best practice for PFP, a synthesis of:
1. Systematic review with meta-analysis: jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.…
2. The patient voice: doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2021…
3. Expert clinical reasoning: doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2022…
Watch out for paper four in the (hopefully) near future!

What did we find? A 🧵
Our systematic search identified 170 RCTs exploring interventions for people with PFP, and we retained 65 high quality trials for data synthesis.
We pooled data where appropriate, aiming to identify efficacious interventions

Here it is: the biggest systematic review with meta-analysis I've ever undertaken, immensely proud to see this out there. Huge thanks to our group of co-authors and to @clare_ardern & the @JOSPT team for an excellent peer review experience.
