Congratulations to Kevin Cowell, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, FAAOMPT — Innovative Practice Award Recipient, 1st Cycle 2026! 🏆

His innovation, The Vector PPS, is a novel direction-specific splinting system designed to improve rehabilitation for finger pulley injuries — the most common injury among rock climbers. Unlike traditional taping or static splinting, it enables controlled, direction-specific load management, allowing clinicians to protect healing structures while progressively reintroducing sport-specific loading.

📰 Featured in the July issue of 𝘖𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦: 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝘀𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁–𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

This case report follows an 18-year-old male with foot drop and lateral calf sensory loss following a knee hyperextension injury. Over 12 PT sessions targeting strength and sensory recovery, findings highlight the importance of thorough neurological screening after knee trauma to catch posterolateral corner injuries early and reduce the risk of long-term nerve dysfunction.

Medicaid reimbursement is frustrating — but here's the good news: unlike Medicare, Medicaid policy is largely decided at the state level, which means physical therapists have real power to change it. 💪

In our latest video, we break down what actually works when it comes to Medicaid advocacy: leading with data, making specific policy asks, building coalitions, and staying engaged with regulators long-term.

If you've ever felt like "Medicaid just doesn't pay enough" advocacy goes nowhere, this one's for you. 🎥👇
