 | Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Thank you Gemma for hosting tonight for the first time as part of the @physiotalk team #physiotalk |
 | Jon Ryan @JonRyanCSP RT @physiotalk: |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Joining in tonight from a bright but chilly Edinburgh And interested to see how much the strength message is being shared with our patients! #physiotalk |
 | Susanne syme @SymeSusanne @physiotalk Susanne from Somerset #physiotalk |
 | Brustefa @brustefa @physiotalk Nigeria #physiotalk |
 | Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Justine - joining in from Sunny Hertfordshire. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Yes - it was certainly integrated into my training in the late 80's. And since then some training on strength training with older people as well. #physiotalk |
| Brustefa @brustefa #physiotalk https://t.co/WbMG8OBkYX |
| Susanne syme @SymeSusanne @physiotalk I believe to learn safe techniques i needed in person training which is difficult at the moment #physiotalk |
 | Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk Our undergrad PT program had Exercise therapy and sports modules which equiped us with skills in this. I certainly believe training in this area is paramount #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk It was integrated into the undergrad physio training, some was learning on the job. I also did a gym instructor course before I could get a physiotherapy job in the UK, so that has been useful. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Those in the acute soft tissue injury phase #physiotalk |
 | Ade-Steve @AdebusolaSteve @physiotalk Unconscious patients. #physiotalk |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk I believe every patient needs strength training. Extent of training will certainly vary depending on tolerance levels and underlying pathologies. That's why there are principles to training; Specificity & Individuality. I believe every patient group can benefit #physiotalk |
| Ade-Steve @AdebusolaSteve @physiotalk Adebusola, physiotherapist from Leicester. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk My frailer older patients are surprised to be offered strength based training. They often don't think its 'for them' But once they see the benefits... #physiotalk |
| Susanne syme @SymeSusanne @physiotalk Not being able to see people often enough to coach them in safe techniques and progression and dealing with set backs #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @AnnMarieConlon3 @physiotalk Yes - would certainly agree with this. Is a group where providing assistance for function often more important #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Training in general principles is key because the principles can be applied to different patient populations. It is clear that even within one specific patient population, the exercises have to be tailored to each individual. The one size fits all model does not work. #physiotalk |

| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk For most people, when you talk about strength training, they imagine the gym, with those massive weights, and the body builders lifting them. So, for an older person, all that makes them believe that strength training is not for them. #physiotalk |
| Susanne syme @SymeSusanne @physiotalk Individuals often decide if they feel well enough or able to engage, in an ideal world they could access what they need when they are ready but services are often very focused on management of acute health problems and then finding the right professional is a problem #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @JustineMusiime @physiotalk I know! Need to link in with functional gains rather than bulging biceps... #physiotalk |
 | C&M Integrated Stroke Delivery Network @cm_isdn Great chat tonight about #strengthtraining with #physiotalk . Who’s joining in? |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk For older people - make it functional with lots of body weight resistance And realise what is hard work for them might be very light weights - I had someone today whose 1RM quads was 1.5kg #physiotalk |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk *Patient attitudes Some of my patients with cancer in my setting believe it would do more harm than good so they are very reluctant to carry them out strength. Some are yet to fully understand that exercise is as important to health as the other medical interventions #physiotalk |
| Brustefa @brustefa @physiotalk Difficulty in acquiring materials. #physiotalk |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk @neilfphysio We typically improvise a lot in our setting. Every locally available material counts This often includes turning water bottles into "dumb bells" by filling them with sand. Making Bar bells with cement,Old vehicle spare parts etc😁, especially in the community setting #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk There are lots of factors to consider; Muscle strength, balance, flexibility, pain, endurance, cardiorespiratory function, confidence, availability of resources, general safety, existing comorbidities e.g diabetes, heart failure, etc #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Those with poor balance can hold on for support or do some of the strength training exercises in sitting. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Agree I think that unless it is much later stage rehab an older person needs to either concentrate on balance OR strength but they can't do both at once #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @gvhawtin @physiotalk Confidence plays a key role in strength training, doesn't it? #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Measure Measure Measure Then ask how much effort they are putting in / feeling #physiotalk |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk **load intensity over repetition number to calculate the 1RM as opposed to having the lift maximally. Then use patient feedback and patient reported outcome measures e.g RPE to adjust the intensity accordingly #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 RT @physiotalk: |
| Ade-Steve @AdebusolaSteve @physiotalk Proper education of patients regarding potential benefits, self-reported outcome measures, proper follow-up, and goal directed. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Multitasking generally is difficult for most older people. Even talking while exercising or talking while walking (something that a lot of people take for granted) is difficult for most #olderpeople. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk They need to 'see' the change and benefits With older people that can be linked to function quite easily and self monitoring with something like a 5xSTS #physiotalk |
| Brustefa @brustefa @_HelenAlexander @physiotalk #physiotalk thanks |
| Susanne syme @SymeSusanne @physiotalk any chance of signposting to training?#physiotalk |
 | uCloudify @uCloudify RT @physiotalk: |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @SymeSusanne @physiotalk There's great information on @thecsp #StrongerMyWay page that you might find helpful. #physiotalk https://t.co/x8UILA98hw |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @DrumiMankad @physiotalk Well said🤝 I believe patient/client education really remains a key intervention to ensure long term adherence #physiotalk |
| Prince S. Makupe @MakupePrince @physiotalk @neilfphysio Yea, the idea is to do more with little I even have a barbell at home. Used old vehicle spare parts😅 #physiotalk https://t.co/fS6IVMS1VX |
