Clinical Savant Series: Dr. Thomas Michaud | Mitigating Fall Risk In Geriatrics

First of all this episode would not have happened without Tom's wife bailing us out!  She saved us with her Mac knowledge!  Tom and I are both nerds that love what we do and get bailed out by our wives regularly! We kicked off discussing Tom's masterpiece Human Locomotion and the value it has added to my clinical practice and learning.   We went into depth of the versatility and evidence behind The ToePro  An interesting study in 2011 motivated me to tinker with Focal Muscle Vibration to assess risk of debilitating lower back pain due to core weakness and how much proprioceptive feedback people get from their calves. The 3 biggest value focuses for runners to avoid injury Blood Flow Restriction training His stance on who is a barefoot running candidate, the barefoot running craze, orthotics and more! He also provides his insight into how to stay motivated and avoid burnout after almost 40 years of being a leader in the medical field.  Tom's Bio:  Since graduating from Western States Chiropractic College in the early 80s, Dr. Tom Michaud has published numerous book chapters and dozens of articles on subjects ranging from biomechanics of the first metatarsalphalangeal joint and shoulder, to the pathomechanics of vertebral artery dissection. In 1993, Williams and Wilkins published Dr. Michaud’s first textbook, Foot Orthoses and Other Forms of Conservative Foot Care, which was eventually translated into four languages. His next book, Human Locomotion: The Conservative Management of Gait-Related Disorders, a textbook published in 2012, is used in physical therapy, chiropractic, pedorthic, and podiatry schools around the world. He has also published a book for recreational runners: Injury-Free Running: How to Build Strength, Improve Form, and Treat/Prevent Injuries.  In addition to lecturing on clinical biomechanics internationally, Dr. Michaud has served on the editorial review boards for Chiropractic Sports Medicine and The Australasian Journal of Podiatric Medicine. Over the past 35 years, Dr. Michaud has maintained a busy private practice in Newton, Massachusetts, where he has treated thousands of elite and recreational runners. Dr. Michaud is not accepting new patients and refers them to his associate, Dr. Marie Buckhout. The products on this website were designed for busy healthcare professionals looking for state-of-the-art examination techniques. The ToePro/Hip Strength dynamometer and medial drift device provide quantifiable measurements with proven reliability. Exercise devices such as the Two-To-One Ankle Rockboard and the ToePro Foot/Ankle Platform are the result of decades of designing various prototypes and evaluating patient responses. We guarantee that all of the products on this website will improve your clinical skills and enhance patient outcomes. Visit Tom's website for free articles! www.humanlocomotion.org
