New research to be presented at the Orthopaedic Symposium in Toronto

4/19/2019

Lyndal Solomons and Lorrie Maffey, two of our senior instructors, will be presenting at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's National Orthopaedic Symposium on June 9th. The presentation will include a general discussion about the Gunn IMS model as well as Lyndal's research regarding the use of Gunn IMS in the management of Achilles tendinopathy.

Management of mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy with exercise and intramuscular dry needling
Rehabilitative exercise remains the gold standard for conservative management of mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (MPAT) but is ineffective in up to 44%. Intramuscular dry needling (IMDN) is being used increasingly often in the management of MSK conditions, including MPAT. A randomised controlled trial comparing exercise plus IMDN based on the Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) model with exercise and sham IMDN for MPAT showed: additional gains in Global Rating of Change at 12 weeks and 12 months for the IMDN group; and a gradual increase in gastrocnemius/soleus length over 12 months in the IMDN group, but a decrease in the sham IMDN group.
