Researchers at Purdue and MIT built a robot that uses generative AI and real-time force feedback to learn from physical therapists. The goal, they say, is to extend therapists' reach rather than replace them. bit.ly/4jQBRM5
Join us for tomorrow's live webinar, 'Evaluation and Management of Shoulder Pain in Spinal Cord Injury,' to learn evidence-based strategies on managing shoulder pain in people with SCI. bit.ly/4ic2ABw
A cardiothoracic physiotherapy team that began therapy on the day of lung surgery cut hospital stays by more than a day and ICU admissions from eight patients to two across 100 patients, and the approach is now standard practice. bit.ly/48mpakW
Experts say lymphatic drainage tools like gua sha, dry brushes, and vibration plates are mostly unnecessary for healthy people, while manual lymphatic drainage from trained therapists is reserved for conditions like lymphedema and daily exercise remains the best way to keep lymph moving. bit.ly/48eyDuz

A teacher’s first-person ALS story shows how hand weakness, atrophy, and muscle twitching were first mistaken for a gym injury or carpal tunnel, and how her PT’s advice to stay active is helping preserve the muscles not yet affected. bit.ly/4dYWuSm
A DPT’s three simple knee-health exercises (sit-to-stands, side-lying clamshells, and a standing calf stretch) are a reminder that the knee often pays the price for weakness at the hip and limited ankle dorsiflexion. bit.ly/4dWKbWL
Now available in text format, this top-rated course explores the physiology of stress, its chronic effects on health and performance, and the realities of workplace strain. Check it out here: continuedlinks.com/hkz2b
A systematic review of 15 RCTs found exercise has the broadest evidence for improving capacity, strength, fatigue, and function in rheumatoid arthritis, while hand rehabilitation and manual therapy helped more selective outcomes, supporting an individualized approach: bit.ly/4yNrzQH
A new robotic rehab system uses generative AI and force feedback to learn from real therapists and give stroke patients just the right amount of assistance, aiming to extend your reach rather than replace you. bit.ly/4sfoTta
Review how the caregiver role affects quality of life for both caregivers and patients, and how improved caregiver support and education can influence outcomes, including rehospitalization rates. With this week's #5StarFriday course, you'll discover resources for identifying caregivers who need more support and ways therapists can incorporate caregiver support into a comprehensive model of care. shr.link/rgxjr

In preliminary data on 22,000 adults, averaging under 5,000 steps a day was linked to 80% higher rates of dementia, Parkinson’s, and stroke than over 12,000, and even around 8,000 steps was linked to lower rates. bit.ly/4zEJM3E
Power wheelchairs provide independent and functional mobility for people unable to efficiently self-propel any type of manual wheelchair. Watch now for an introduction to scooters and power wheelchairs, including drive wheel configuration, power seating, and alternative driving methods.
Duke researchers used marker-free 3D camera tracking to turn hand, forearm, and gait movements into precise measurements like degrees of rotation, offering a more objective way to track Parkinson’s progression. bit.ly/4ieMiGP
From exoskeletons that link therapist and patient to vagus nerve stimulation, here’s a look at the new tools reshaping stroke rehab and what they could mean for your gait and upper limb work. bit.ly/47xXklC
Explore advanced concepts in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training, including exercise programming strategies for patients of all ages and fitness levels. Watch now for an evidence-based update on types of exercise, progression and regression, and patient monitoring.
A virtually delivered sub-threshold aerobic exercise program sped up concussion recovery in youth compared with stretching in the largest trial of its kind, with the benefit clearest within three months of injury. bit.ly/3Ug9e0i
Experts break down which common knee pain treatments to reconsider and the one approach nearly everyone agrees works (hint: it’s not sitting still): bit.ly/4sd5NUu
