You’re not a PT until you move a Barbie’s knee joint and all you hear is advanced knee OA

Great episode here on an important topic by Paul Mintken Amy Wallace McDevitt @aaompt podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/han…

Good picture of someone with brachial neuritis/Parsonage Turner to remember. Rare, but something common enough that you’ll see it in your clinical practice
