Researchers in Western Australia and Victoria have published an original research article in the British Medical Journal Open Sport and Exercise Medicine, investigating quadriceps motor cortex inhibition and facilitation during rehabilitation for patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Following ACLR, maladaptive changes often occur in the motor cortex representation of the quadriceps, evidenced by increases in intracortical inhibition and facilitation.

Researchers at the University of Queensland’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences have published an updated systematic review of cervical musculoskeletal impairments in migraine and tension-type headaches in the most recent issue of Musculoskeletal Science and Practice.

Why did you decide to assess the effect of the e-learning program rather than just expecting physiotherapists to engage with published clinical practice guidelines?

Why did you decide to assess the effect of electrical stimulation plus voluntary strength training?

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Back and Neck Pain has released its first two data reports, highlighting the data collected over the first year of the study. 

In 2007, receiving an APA Professional Excellence Award was a pivotal moment in my career as a physiotherapist. 

It was more than just recognition; it was a signal to push further, to explore new approaches and to seek out even better outcomes for my clients. 

What are the characteristics of and risks factors for adolescents with patellofemoral pain?

One in 14 school-aged adolescents has patellofemoral pain (PFP) (Smith et al 2018), making it the most common non-traumatic knee pain in this age group.

Deb Wareham APAM, a second-year PhD student at Macquarie University, New South Wales, is an early-career researcher with a focus on primary care and a particular interest in low back pain (LBP).

Since 2021, she has been working at MQ Health Physiotherapy outpatient clinic, which sees many people with LBP.

Researchers at Monash University and La Trobe University have shown that exercise and education programs for managing knee osteoarthritis (OA) can be cost-effective for nine years by delaying the need for total knee replacement.
