Meet the authors behind the Foot and Ankle section of Current Concepts of Orthopedic Physical Therapy, 6th Edition.

Lindsay A. Carroll, PT, DPT, PhD, OMPT and her co-authors Stephen Paulseth, PT, MS, DPT, ATC; John J. Fraser, PT, DPT, PhD, FACSM; and RobRoy L.

From lateral ankle sprain to less common presentations like turf toe, you will find condition specific intervention ideas organized by movement system category and supported by a comprehensive appendix of orthoses, manual therapy, taping, and exercise interventions.

Clinically oriented and immediately applicable. Built for orthopedic PTs who want to treat foot and ankle patients with greater confidence.

A new Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy CPG looks great on paper — but how does it hold up in real practice?

Kaylan Johnson, clinical faculty at Marshall University and OCS/fellowship-trained clinician, put it to the test — applying the guideline to a somewhat unusual case: a 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆.

A great read for any PT curious about turning a new CPG into real clinical decision-making.

Q&A: Shoulder pain is the 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 for which individuals seek care, and 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗹f of treated shoulder pain cases are 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. 💪

A 21-year-old college volleyball player develops subacute shoulder pain and is diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear. Rather than defaulting to a generic protocol, this case report applies a new multidisciplinary Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), prioritizing motor control and resistance training, with manual therapy to manage pain.

In just 𝟳 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀, he saw 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 in strength symmetry, function, and patient-reported outcomes. The case also surfaces where the new guideline still needs refinement, from diagnostic criteria to loading parameters.

A great read for any PT curious about turning a new CPG into real clinical decision-making.
