We're following up on our discussion from last week about conservative management of osteochondral lesions to discuss post-operative rehabilitation following osteochondral transplantation. Big takeaways from our conversation: due to the generally a wide range in timelines following these surgeries, size and location of the lesion could be a better prognostic indicator than type of surgical graft.

Mike goes over a recent running gait analysis he did with the Runeasi system. He gives his interpretation for what the data means, shows how gait can change from easy pace to faster paces, discusses follow up exercises, and why it is important to also look at raw data instead of just the means.
This week we discuss periosteal and intra-articular electrical dry needling as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis. We really show our biases in this. We don't like it. Hopefully we put our thoughts together coherently enough to explain all the reasons why we don't like it. The article can be found here: https://spinalmanipulation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/periosteal-and-intraarticular-electrical-dry-needling-boosters-in-patients-with-knee-osteoarthritis-2025.pdf As always, if you enjoy what you hear, be sure to follow us on your favorite podcast platform and on Instagram @readingrehabpod.

Pat walks us through some single leg hop testing that he did with a 14 year old female volleyball player coming back from a severe inversion sprain. We go over key metrics, some confusion we have with duplicate metrics, importance of knowing the units you're referencing, and how this testing impacts clinical decision-making.
This week Mike and Pat break down "Interpreting p values and interval estimates based on practical relevance: guidance for the sports medicine clinician". This is a short but dense article explaining the use and interpretation of p-values in research. Since p-values are so important to research and publication, clinicians need to know what they are telling us about the data and the potential limitations with them. While this paper was meant for clinicians, it can be hard to understand. We do our best to break it down and simplify according to our understanding.
