Anatomy and Exercise videos for embedding into Physiopedia pages.
At WCPT we were neighboured by the Muscle and Motion stand which provide an online interactive 3D anatomy and strength training learning tool. A lot of work has gone into developing this dynamic visual resource that makes musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology easier to learn, remember and understand. What is great is that they also have a YouTube channel where some demos of their software can be accessed for free. Not only that but it can be embedded into Physiopedia. So, if you are looking for video imagery of muscle anatomy or exercises to include in your Physiopedia article be sure to have a look at Muscle and Motions YouTube channel to see if there is anything that is suitable for you to use.
See this example below..

Evidence in Motion Fellows to start a new project in Physiopedia.
Fellows from Evidence in Motion, one of our Gold Sponsors, have created pages in Physiopedia before as part of their Fellowship programme. This new project is led by Dan Rhon, another of our Gold Sponsors with his apps at Clinically Relevant, and is a more structured approach to creating evidence based articles surrounding a specific topic.
Fellows will be divided into 5 groups of 2-3 people to work together. The expectation for these projects is that they are extensive and a comprehensive review of all available literature on each topic. They will be highly referenced and written at the level and profiency of a clinician at the fellowship level. These are the five topics that the fellows will be working on:
- Mobilization Grades
- SINSS
- Spine Segmental Assessment
- Subjective Exam – Diagnostic Strength
- Visual & Palpatory Alignment Assessment
We hope that the fellows enjoy this project, we will certainly enjoy having them contribute to Physiopedia! Read more about this project here.
