   S4 E7 To what extent can research be trusted?

   It is tempting to blindly trust research papers, but how reliable are they in fact? In this episode our ATW students and physiotherapists Janina, Melanie and Jule examine the challenges of designing and undertaking reliable clinical studies. Source: Grenier, J. P., Thiel, A. (2025).

   S4 E6 You rethink pain: Spatial Summation of Pain

   S4 E6 You rethink Pain Pain: we know it – we feel it – but do we truly understand it? Tom Frankenstein, from the University of Lübeck, aims to answer this question. During the research symposium, he spoke about spatial summation of pain, a hitherto unresearched topic. We had the privilege of listening to the session and we'd like to give you a quick overview of this phenomenon. Don’t be shy – Just stop by! If you'd like to do some background reading, here are a few references: 1. Frankenstein, T., Szikszay, T. M., Coghill, R. C., Luedtke, K. & Adamczyk, W. M. (2025).

   S4 E5 New Work in Physiotherapy

   As future physiotherapists, we (Mika, Ilka and Paula) want to actively shape where our profession is heading, especially in terms of working conditions. In today’s episode, you will learn what New Work is, why it is needed in physiotherapy and how it can be implemented effectively. We also refer to the abstract of Nadine Schlesinger’s Master’s thesis, which provides the scientific background for this topic. You can find the abstract here: https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1811289
