sooo, i do believe there are pt students out there who need to do some research projects or case studies in order to graduate....i have had several inspired hypotheses to test out (and im sure others who use tmr could also contribute to that list)....please contact me jtmorlock@yahoo.com if you are interested...i gots young kids, husband who works ft and work ft myself-so would really like to NOT commit to any more work, but can easily provide suggested hypotheses and methods to anyone gravitating to performing more specific fab 5 research

Ditto for me! Lots of possibilities for pediatrics. How about supine trunk twist) and torticollis? Or how about tracking some aspect of motor control in children w/ CP using TMR vs another traditional method? EG: progress seen on the video clip on the blog.

Jen, Susan, Tom,
I will have a PT student starting in January. I was thinking about having her do a case study, and this may be the perfect idea for her. What specific topics are you thinking about?

i was hoping for a comparison study of 2 grps...back pain-treatment with torso/back stabilization vs tmr
-course you could always pick 1 pt with any issue-use tmr as treatment and then compare outcomes (extent and time to achieve improvement, etc) with other outcomes reported in various research articles which used other treatments for same issue-see if tmr gets better and/or quicker results?
-stretching hamstrings vs tmr to improve hamstring flexiblity (or any muscle-but so many are so focused on hamstrings it seems)
-improving strength with low plank or side plank with direct exercise or tmr
what pt population do you typically see?

Since my patients are small children, I'm looking for someone interested in a pediatric topic. Lots of people are interested in torticollis right now, but a case study with a child with spastic diplegia would be neat to see as well.

I work with pediatrics in a school setting. I do not see kids with torticollis but have 2 preschoolers, both of which present with spastic diplegia. They are actually in the same classroom, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. A study with these would be interesting. I have already initiated using TMR with both of them though. What are you ideas for this?
