Clinical Pilates in Practice: FAI Morphology & Adolescent Spine Patients
This study compared spinopelvic parameters in asymptomatic scoliosis and asymptomatic patients with radiographic evidence of femoroacetabular impingement.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Knee Joint Biomechanics in Transtibial Amputees
This study looked at knee joint biomechanics in a young, healthy population with no activity restrictions, with a focus on energy storage and return (ESAR) prostheses.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Migraines
This Masterclass / review article discusses current literature and clinical practice for physiotherapists working with patients with migraines.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Toe Flexor Strength & Mobility
This study sought elucidate the influence that foot posture has on the relationship between toe flexor strength and functional performance in older adults
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Hip-Spine Syndrome
This narrative review explains the mechanism by which abnormal hip pathologies contribute to low back pain in patients without hip osteoarthritis.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Biomechanics & The Formation of Nervous Tissue
This review is a critical assessment of recent advances in the utilization of mechanical stimuli towards exploiting nervous tissue growth and formation. The authors discuss current in vitro systems designed to restate the mechanical environment of developing neural tissues, and the advancements made in integrating these systems into the clinical setting.
Shoulder Kinematics & Subacromial Impingement
This literature review examines the relationship between shoulder kinematics and the aetiology of rotator cuff pathology.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Is T9-T12 the Thoracolumbar Transition Zone?
The authors of this retrospective review study hypothesised that the true thoracolumbar junction is T10-11.
Biokinetic Analysis of the Foot & Ankle
This literature review argues that clinically we need to observe functional - rather than conventional - biomechanics at the ankle and foot. Functional biomechanics observes that all segments in a joint can be simultaneously mobile.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Stress Urinary Incontinence (December 2020)
Anatomy Review: Iliocapsularis & Other Muscles of the Hip Capsule
An informal poll of our colleagues has concluded that no-one knew that the iliocapsularis muscle existed until two days ago… This got us thinking about other muscles of the hip that insert into the joint capsule, and their role in hip function and movement dysfunction.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Diaphragmatic Breathing for Posture
By no means a thorough or robust study, we are including this one because of our belief in evidence-informed practice, and this paper does serve as a reminder of the importance of the diaphragm for postural control.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Brachial Plexus Injury After Shoulder Dislocation
This literature review examined the neurological implications of shoulder dislocation.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: COPD & Lower Limb Biomechanics
Although this is a small study, the paper contributes to our knowledge base around the gait variations that are seen in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Anatomy review: the subtalar joint
The subtalar joint is a complex articulation that is often overlooked clinically, frequently ignored in favour of talocrural and midfoot mobility.
