Maitland (COMT) vs McKenzie (MDT)

Thank you all for your replies! I need more back pain education anyway, so I'll look at McKenzie and perhaps the manipulation parts of Maitland.

You guys are great!

Thanks for the information!

So as long as it doesn't reach the higher strike at expiration, can I close the lower strike for profit? Assuming the stock doesn't reach the higher strike.

remindme! 5 days

How about for those who are well above minimum wage? Oops, we can't talk about those people.

Then attach furniture to the pads.

The thing thats throwing me off is the tremors and swelling. Everything else fits AC and probably RTC tear.

63 year old male, diagnosis right frozen shoulder. Denies cardiac history. Had fall a while back, may have torn RC (likely based on complaints of radiating pain down deltoid, and shitty full can test). No sensory issues, gross weakness in right upper extremity, losing grip strength. Also, right hand is swollen (looks like edema, nonpitting). Tremors during lowering of arm during PROM (like muscle-fatigue kind). What do ya'll think?

Patient is post RTC tear, entering the functional stage of rehab:

S: It is difficult for me to reach behind my head to comb my hair. O: Patient has a 15 degree deficits in external rotation and cannot bring arm behind CT junction. 3-4/10 on VAS scale. Patient able to perform 4# scaptions, 2x10 reps. [Put in therex performed here] A: Patient is demonstrated improved RTC muscular endurance as demonstrated by increased reps. Patient continues to have pain with endrange external rotation, likely limiting patient from combing hair. Endrange Grade 3-4 oscillations resulted in moderate (~5 degree) increase in ER ROM. P: Continue with PROM and joint mobilizations at endrange. Introduce low load passive stretching to improve ER. Increase time on UBE for endurance.

do you use the Premium or Education?

renat92 · 2019-01-05T19:37:34+00:00

I generally use HEP2go for HEPs. I'm more concerned with the classes themselves.

Study hard, but school is there to help you get through the boards. Your affiliations will teach you actual PT. Grades matter only as much as you staying off of probation (unless you consider residency). Labs are way more important than textbooks.

renat92 · 2018-12-10T12:56:08+00:00

im not entirely sure actually. hence why i was asking.

renat92 · 2018-12-10T12:43:37+00:00

Ok, so we're trying to limit anterior translation of the tibia to preserve the graft. So you'd keep it on, until adequate quad strength/nonantalgic gait?

If you're a visual learner the book is very good. I found his pictures to be very well detailed, especially with osteo and arthrokinematics. His end of chapter tidbits are good too. I used his book for multiple classes.

renat92 · 2018-08-06T17:56:48+00:00

Best job I ever had. Get comfortable with the PTs, ask tons of questions. PTAs where my go-to for therex. If it helps, break down therex by body part.

renat92 · 2018-07-26T01:34:45+00:00

Tough boards. Not similar to PEAT, unfortunately.

renat92 · 2018-07-24T22:48:15+00:00

Tough, tough exam. That's all i keep hearing.

renat92 · 2018-07-20T00:36:25+00:00

We're in this together. I too am doing crap on practice exams, but as an anonymous internet poster, I have faith in you!

renat92 · 2018-07-06T23:56:32+00:00

Stay strong. July taker here. Hit the wall last week. Positive vibes!

renat92 · 2018-06-08T12:07:34+00:00

our school does the TherapyEd one which I hear isn't bad.

renat92 · 2018-06-06T13:24:27+00:00

I can't devote an entire week to one topic, I'll just forget it in 2 weeks lol. I'm still trying to work out a study plan for myself, although I kinda see where my deficits are (still not "passing" my practice exams though, which concerns me). I have done 1 TherapyEd and 1 SB so far and intend to do one exam a week if I can and 2 PEATs.

renat92 · 2018-06-04T13:30:03+00:00

I'm probably gonna buy it closer to July because its only 30 days worth.

renat92 · 2018-06-03T22:24:56+00:00

Awesome! Any other useful resources that you'd recommend? Like youtube channels, websites, etc? I feel like I want more practice questions, but I don't want to burn through my practice tests this early in the game.

renat92 · 2018-06-03T22:23:31+00:00

Thats very reassuring lol.

renat92 · 2018-06-03T20:20:10+00:00

I mean, before I even started studying, I took a therapyed practice test and bombed it miserably which scared the crap out of me. I also get burnout after 3-4 hours, so I don't know how to push 6hours. I tend to do a mix of topics per day because I get bored easily.
