In this Episode, Alison takes us through the controversial topic of pelvic tilt and acetabulum loading in relation to a paper that was recently published (referenced below). She starts by guiding us through the dynamic assessment of pelvic tilt and how this can affect other structures around the hip joint. We also discuss how changing an individual’s pelvic tilt can impact their pain and range of motion during functional tasks such as squatting. Dr Alison Grimaldi is an Australian Sports Physiotherapist and the practice principal of Physiotec Physiotherapy in Brisbane, with extensive clinical experience and a special interest in hip, groin and pelvic pain. She has completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, a Masters of Sports Physiotherapy and a PhD through the University of Queensland, where she continues her research interests as an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow. Study Reference:Ismail K, Lewis C (2022) Effect of simulated changes in pelvic tilt on hip joint forces, Journal of Biomechanics, Volume 135.Alison Grimaldi’s website - https://dralisongrimaldi.com/Our host is @James_Armstrong_Physio from Physio Network

Finally, Jared gives us some advice on how to best make these decisions with patients and how to have those harder conversations with patients who are very surgery focused.

In this episode, Dr Travis Pollen takes us through a recent research review he did for Physio Network exploring younger patients with a traumatic mensical injury. We look at the results of a recent paper comparing those who had surgery and those who had physiotherapy. Interestingly the results at two years were very similar but this opened up a lot of questions and nuance about what happens within that two years.Dr Travis Pollen is a personal trainer and has a PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences (Drexel University).
