[Physio Discussed] Strength & conditioning in rehabilitation: key tips for clinicians with Dr Claire Minshull and Lachlan Wilmot

In this episode of Physio Discussed, Sarah Yule interviews Dr. Claire Minshull and Lachlan Wilmot about monitoring and measuring rehabilitation, focusing on strength versus rate of force development. They discuss the importance of understanding what needs to be changed in a client's rehabilitation and using consistent, repeatable, and affordable methods for assessment. The conversation emphasizes the need for intentionality in measurement, the value of pre-injury data, and the significance of overloading appropriately during rehab. They also highlight the importance of considering physiological and anatomical knowledge, early loading, and the distinction between strength and rate of force development in rehab programs, advocating for a balanced approach that considers both maximal force and the rapidity of force production.
