Tom has a particular interest in muscle injuries and will present on MRI anatomy and pathology of the hamstring and calf muscles. This lecture will describe the hierarchy of connective tissue scaffold injuries and their clinical significance.
Following this Daniel will present on the diagnostic dilemma that can exist when differentiating soleus and gastrocnemius injuries along with the clinical implications of free gastrocnemius aponeurosis injuries.
An open Q&A session will follow allowing delegates the chance to discuss the suitability of specific imaging modalities for individual injuries and establish what situations exist whereby imaging can change management.
Many clinicians spend much of their precious 'out of hours' time writing programmes for their patients. Surely, there is a faster and more efficient way to programme in clinic?
The number one reason cited for not completing exercise rehab is not having enough time. How do I write effective resistance training programmes that are compatible with our patients' busy lives. Central to achieving this balance is understanding the minimal effective dose for resistance training.
In this lecture, Dr Merv Travers (PhD) will cover key issues pertaining to the minimum effective dose for resistance training. And, he will outline simple hacks that will help you supercharge your exercise prescription whilst saving you and your patients time.

There is a positive, supportive shift in the realm of physical activity during pregnancy and beyond. We are seeing more elite and recreational athletes continue their training during pregnancy and return to training and competition afterwards. As more research emerges to support the benefits of physical activity on overall health and wellbeing, in the area of pelvic floor health we are still stuck with little evidence to guide not only strenuous activities but strength training during these times, which is an essential part of sports performance and overall health. Due to this lack of knowledge, many health professionals continue to provide cautious advice on strength training to females who may be at risk for pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), including complete avoidance. This talk aims to discuss concepts, evidence, and advice surrounding the area of pelvic floor health in strength training during pregnancy and postpartum.
This lecture will discuss anaesthetic management, surgical management (e.g. rib fixation), and physiotherapy assessment and management of chest trauma patients. This lecture will be presented by a team from RBWH, including an anaesthetist, the Director of the Trauma Service, and the senior physiotherapist of the Intensive Care and Surgical Team.

Athlete monitoring can be used to inform coach decision-making and improve the training process. When designed appropriately and implemented effectively, athlete monitoring systems have been suggested to reduce ‘training errors', increase athlete training availability (reduce injury) and improve performance. Despite these common views (and practices), there is presently little evidence to support the contention that athlete monitoring systems by themselves meet these goals. One possible explanation for the absence of evidence to support for these beliefs is that there are absence of controlled trials examining this issues. Another reason is the inappropriate introduction of athlete monitoring tools and metrics. Without doubt, the metric that has received the most attention in the literature, and as a result has been endorsed by the International Olympic Committee and adopted widely by sport, has been the acute to chronic work load ratio (ACWR). Due to concerns regarding the impact that the blind adoption of the ACWR as a primary decision-making tool in athlete monitoring systems, this presentation will examine have a historical account of the development of athlete monitoring, with specific focus on the rise of the ACWR. This presentation will critically examine the conceptual basis and methodological weaknesses in studies supporting the ACWR and will also highlight the biased process generating several unsupported claims and international and national recommendations. We will examine problems in current research to demonstrate lessons that can be learned and applied to future research and practice in this area.
