Post COVID, post stroke weakness & mobility issues
So this case was going well. I got strength back in her legs and arms and she was holding all progress for a few treatments even within the first few visits. Gait was looking even and lower body exstore was testing well.
Imaging shows she has brain atrophy and also lacunar infarcts though recently so I'm unsure how much more I can do without medication changes or treatment for that. Her doctors also think she may be going through some form of dementia when they ran testing but the patient could not state besides them talking about early dementia.
I am continuing with normal treatment. There is no treatment plan from any of her other doctors besides just run more tests by a new neurologist but nothing yet besides physical therapy. She has had two falls since beginning and the first one she has no memories of.
Do you think I'll continue to get back and forth until they figure out the brain? I think the areas affected can also affect firing of those muscles we are working on.
If you treat patients with plantar fasciitis, this video is worth your time. Anthony breaks it down with key treatment targets you might be missing.

I have a patient, on her 70's, Hx of cancer with chronic knee pain. She states that her knee hurts when she moves. Because of cancer Hx, I am assuming she is considered a chronic systemic patient , correct? She has arthritis on her knee. Do I needle her knee intra-articular with 100 Hx? or 20 hx? Or should I not needle her knee intra-articular?
I am getting a little confused when to use 100hz versus 20 hx in a patient with arthritis and pain in knee.
