CSM 2022 San Antonio Texas

I finally have time to share some photos and highlights from CSM 2022. I was surprised I had to wear a winter coat, but the tail of the ice storm that hit Columbus also affected Texas.

If you didn’t know… This is where posters come from. 😉

Every time I have to print a poster, it never goes to plan. After about an hour of various attempts, it worked!

Had a sweet hotel and it was nice to catch up with friends and take a break from clinic and school work.

Hopefully this reliability study will be coming to a journal this year. It establishes the reliability of physical therapists using 2D video analysis software to measure the frontal plane projection angle.

 

If you’re in San Antonio, you have to see the Alamo.

However, I would also recommend the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum. During prohibition the Saloon owner had to bring in his collection of animals and make ends meet by charging tickets for the public to view the collection.

Lastly, I’m proud of our OMPT Fellow graduate for his poster on Do Residency/Fellowship Graduates have Difference Career Trajectories Compared to non-Residency/Fellowship graduates?

Impressive work, and hopefully will be featured in a journal soon.

Wrap up post for 2021

After September, it felt like a land slide to the end of year. Went by in a flash and never had time to post. Here are the highlights:

AAOMPT 2021 in Cleveland

The OSU OMPT fellowship represented at the Annual AAOMPT conference in 2021!

 

New publication in Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy

JMMT received a letter to the editor from Dr. Landel of the University of Southern California in regard to our systemic review on the Sharp Purser Test, which showed that the test was unreliable, not valid, and might be unsafe.

Our response to Dr. Landel is in the last edition of JMMT for 2021.

The OPTA Research Committee is presenting two webinars to assist researchers and clinicians learn more about the research process and the grants available through the Research Committee.

The second webinar of this two-part series is presented by Cody Mansfield, PT, DPT, AT, Board Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist and Mitchell Selhorst, PT, DPT, Board Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist. Both presenters are OPTA grant funded clinician scientists.

During their webinar, they will walk you through each step of submitting a grant to the OPTA and share tips applicable to other funding sources.  Grant submissions are tough, and this session will help beginner, novice and even experts learn how to write a completive OPTA research grant application and avoid common pitfalls.

Want to get your research idea funded by the OPTA Research Committee? Then this webinar is one not to miss.

By the end of this webinar, the learner will be able to:

  1. Write each section of your OPTA research grant application to improve your changes of getting your proposal accepted and funded.
  2. Develop your research methodology and generate the critical concepts needed in a proposal.
  3. Understand key statistical principles to include in your grant proposal.
