    Re: Study Recommends New Protocol for treating Shoulder stiffness - reports APTA journal

    Hi Crystal,

    Sorry, I've got as much as you do on this. I've recently lost my student access as they cut you off once you graduate in Canada. Do you know any students or other linked in PTs who might have access? It does look interesting.

    Re: Study Recommends New Protocol for treating Shoulder stiffness - reports APTA journal

    Hi again Crystal.
    I got to the article in question initially from the APTA website as a member of the APTA. When I was in school 35-40 yrs ago, a student membership (cheaper) was made available to you through the school as part of your "student expenses" the last 2 yrs. Upon graduation, you were given the option of joining as a professional, but actually, you could do it anytime there-after.
    I took the by-line & researchers names (inserted in my last note) & put them in "search" on the computer, & they brought up the reports (you wouldn't need any special memberships) The exercises would be similiar, but adapted to the pt & the pt's home environment to ensure ease of performance & compliance. The key is the scheduled periodic visits w/PT to "Tweek" the Exercise Plan for accuracy & to progress it as the pt becomes ready. If they can be made less "boring", that also would be a plus.
    Of course, I'm speaking as an "in-home therapist" & I'm just glad they'rs doing the research to prove what I've seen & known for years. I just got notice of a similiar study they are doing as a follow up of hip therapy, but won't be able to participate because it's centered 3 hours away.
