💥Mobility vs Flexibility(附中文)
“Common buzzword”
-
There is this one time a crossfitter friend of mine popped this question to me, what is the difference between flexibility versus mobility, the answer to this is simple
-
When we talk about flexibility, originated from the Latin word, flexibilis, refers to the ability of a muscle to be stretched or lengthened. On the other hand, mobility often refers to joints and the active range of motion necessary to achieve certain movement.
-
A common example will be hamstring flexibility. Through a SLR test, it describes how much the hamstring can be lengthened to an extent. But it did not address the mobility of the same person doing certain tasks that provokes pain, like kicking a ball. That is because mobility involves more than just a muscle.
-
Someone can have very good flexibility but poor mobility at the same time. If we have taken account of both aspects in clinical decision, by not overlooking important clues and details, better outcomes will be yielded to our dear clients

💥活動度 柔軟度
“常見術語”
-
還記得之前一位我的Crossfitter好朋友問我這個問題，到底活動度跟柔軟度差在哪，什麼時候用活動度，什麼時候用柔軟度
-
柔軟度，來指拉丁文flexibilis，指的是肌肉柔軟度，肌肉能被伸展的延長性。那活動度指的是關節的活動度，或身體要完成待定動作，需要的關節活動度。
-
舉例，卧躺直膝提腿測試，是最常被用來檢查腿後肌柔軟度的測試，直膝提腿能達到70º，便能算是正常。可是這個測試並不能告訴我們柔軟度以外，特別是跟疼痛有關的資訊。像是腳往前踢球，儘管有著好的柔軟度，可能會是髖關節活動度不足而起疼痛
-
好的柔軟度跟活動度不足可以同時存在，作為物理治療師，很重要的是兩者都要評估，才能完整找到問題所在

"Self-awareness is like a diamond sparkling differently from every angle" - Laura Huang （"自我意識像是鑽石，不同角度閃爍著不同光芒" - 本書作者）
光是默默努力，埋頭苦幹，是不夠的。這位哈佛大學商學院教授，先是一語道破，許多人從小被教育“只要努力就會成功”，長大後卻發現社會不是這麼運作的挫折感。屬於好讀而且實用的一本書，這個月也出了中文版喔！
身為台裔美籍的女性，用她在美國學術圈（白人男性為主）的經歷，以及她對決策模式的深入研究，發展出她這套隱性優勢的心法，讓你的特質（包括優勢和劣勢）可以淬煉成你獨門的祕密武器。我覺得她拿捏的相當不錯，不流於文青式的做自己，也不會落入功利式迎合期待。
閱讀她的書，我一直想到孫子兵法當中的一句話 "善戰者，求之於勢，不責於人" 。這句話的意思指的是講戰略上如何應用情勢，讓自己站在有利的位置，同時也把人擺在對的位子上，而不是一味的拼命而已。換一個方式思考，其實所謂的“情勢”，首先就是要因地因時而置宜，另外也是和他人相對立場有關。當人工智慧越來越取代重複性以及定義明確的工作時，人類工作發展一定會更加需要人際互動以及跨界的能力。作者非常務實的說道一方面要對自己更加理解，另一方面我們是離不開他人的眼光和標籤的。與其視而不見或是抱怨不公，不如接受這樣的事實，從當中靈巧設定自己的位置，才能夠借力使力把自己所擁有的那一份發揮到最好。
“When you are in the system, you need to take charge of your own outcomes. Yes do what you can to change systems, advocate for better hiring practices, speak up for injustice, and educate others about the reality of bias. But we can't just wait for people to take make fair decisions on our behalf, make the right decisions about our future, or do things the ideal way. Creating an edge enables you to succeed within an imperfect system"
（“當你身處在大環境中，你需要能夠主導你的成果。是的我們都該盡可能地讓整體系統改變進步，支持更好的僱人方式，為不公義的事情發聲，並且教育他人關於偏見和歧視的真實性。但我們不能總是期待他人為我們做出公平的決定，為我們的未來做正確的選擇，或是按照理想行事。為自己創造隱性優勢，可以幫助你在不完美的大環境中取得成功”）
“EDGE" (優勢）一詞的字母也分別代表他的思考框架當中的四個步驟。
Enrich 提升價值
Delight 製造喜悅
Guide 導引定見
Effort 有效努力
書中有許多的例子都相當有趣，有些甚至會讓台灣的讀者非常有感。包括讓雞不打鬥的隱形眼鏡，找到鼎泰豐等級美味但不需排長隊，以及“亞洲瘋狂富豪”導演如何爭取到他心目中最適合的電影主題曲，等等，都讓閱讀這本書格外的有意思。她所謂自我意識像是鑽石般，可以從不同角度看到不同的閃爍，就是鼓勵讀者認知自己的不同面向，當然也包括社會的現況以及一些刻板印象，接受並且擁抱不同的可能。從手上有的那一副牌，玩出自己的一個獨門套路來！

今早為Asian Medical Students Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK)的新一屆執行委員會就職典禮作致詞分享嘉賓，題目為「疫情中的健康不公平」。
感謝他們的熱情款待以及為整段致詞拍了影片。以下我附上致詞的英文原稿：
It's been my honor to be invited to give the closing remarks for the Inauguration Ceremony for the incoming executive committee of the Asian Medical Students' Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK) this morning. A video has been taken for the remarks I made regarding health inequalities during the COVID-19 pandemic (big thanks to the student who withstood the soreness of her arm for holding the camera up for 15 minutes straight), and here's the transcript of the main body of the speech that goes with this video:
//The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, continues to be rampant around the world since early 2020, resulting in more than 55 million cases and 1.3 million deaths worldwide as of today. (So no! It’s not a hoax for those conspiracy theorists out there!) A higher rate of incidence and deaths, as well as worse health-related quality of life have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, including people of lower socioeconomic position, older persons, migrants, ethnic minority and communities of color, etc. While epidemiologists and scientists around the world are dedicated in gathering scientific evidence on the specific causes and determinants of the health inequalities observed in different countries and regions, we can apply the Social Determinants of Health Conceptual Framework developed by the World Health Organization team led by the eminent Prof Sir Michael Marmot, world’s leading social epidemiologist, to understand and delineate these social determinants of health inequalities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to this framework, social determinants of health can be largely categorized into two types – 1) the lower stream, intermediary determinants, and 2) the upper stream, structural and macro-environmental determinants. For the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized that the lower stream factors may include material circumstances, such as people’s living and working conditions. For instance, the nature of the occupations of these people of lower socioeconomic position tends to require them to travel outside to work, i.e., they cannot work from home, which is a luxury for people who can afford to do it. This lack of choice in the location of occupation may expose them to greater risk of infection through more transportation and interactions with strangers. We have also seen infection clusters among crowded places like elderly homes, public housing estates, and boarding houses for foreign domestic helpers. Moreover, these socially disadvantaged people tend to have lower financial and social capital – it can be observed that they were more likely to be deprived of personal protective equipment like face masks and hand sanitizers, especially during the earlier days of the pandemic. On the other hand, the upper stream, structural determinants of health may include policies related to public health, education, macroeconomics, social protection and welfare, as well as our governance… and last, but not least, our culture and values. If the socioeconomic and political contexts are not favorable to the socially disadvantaged, their health and well-being will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Therefore, if we, as a society, espouse to address and reduce the problem of health inequalities, social determinants of health cannot be overlooked in devising and designing any public health-related strategies, measures and policies.
Although a higher rate of incidence and deaths have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, especially in countries with severe COVID-19 outbreaks, this phenomenon seems to be less discussed and less covered by media in Hong Kong, where the disease incidence is relatively low when compared with other countries around the world. Before the resurgence of local cases in early July, local spread of COVID-19 was sporadic and most cases were imported. In the earlier days of the pandemic, most cases were primarily imported by travelers and return-students studying overseas, leading to a minor surge between mid-March and mid-April of 874 new cases. Most of these cases during Spring were people who could afford to travel and study abroad, and thus tended to be more well-off. Therefore, some would say the expected social gradient in health impact did not seem to exist in Hong Kong, but may I remind you that, it is only the case when we focus on COVID-19-specific incidence and mortality alone. But can we really deduce from this that COVID-19-related health inequality does not exist in Hong Kong? According to the Social Determinants of Health Framework mentioned earlier, the obvious answer is “No, of course not.” And here’s why…
In addition to the direct disease burden, the COVID-19 outbreak and its associated containment measures (such as economic lockdown, mandatory social distancing, and change of work arrangements) could have unequal wider socioeconomic impacts on the general population, especially in regions with pervasive existing social inequalities. Given the limited resources and capacity of the socioeconomically disadvantaged to respond to emergency and adverse events, their general health and well-being are likely to be unduly and inordinately affected by the abrupt changes in their daily economic and social conditions, like job loss and insecurity, brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak and the corresponding containment and mitigation measures of which the main purpose was supposedly disease prevention and health protection at the first place. As such, focusing only on COVID-19 incidence or mortality as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities may leave out important aspects of life that contributes significantly to people’s health. Recently, my research team and I collaborated with Sir Michael Marmot in a Hong Kong study, and found that the poor people in Hong Kong fared worse in every aspects of life than their richer counterparts in terms of economic activity, personal protective equipment, personal hygiene practice, as well as well-being and health after the COVID-19 outbreak. We also found that part of the observed health inequality can be attributed to the pandemic and its related containment measures via people’s concerns over their own and their families’ livelihood and economic activity. In other words, health inequalities were contributed by the pandemic even in a city where incidence is relatively low through other social determinants of health that directly concerned the livelihood and economic activity of the people. So in this study, we confirmed that focusing only on the incident and death cases as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities is like a story half-told, and would severely truncate and distort the reality.
Truth be told, health inequality does not only appear after the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, it is a pre-existing condition in countries and regions around the world, including Hong Kong. My research over the years have consistently shown that people in lower socioeconomic position tend to have worse physical and mental health status. Nevertheless, precisely because health inequality is nothing new, there are always voices in our society trying to dismiss the problem, arguing that it is only natural to have wealth inequality in any capitalistic society. However, in reckoning with health inequalities, we need to go beyond just figuring out the disparities or differences in health status between the poor and the rich, and we need to raise an ethically relevant question: are these inequalities, disparities and differences remediable? Can they be fixed? Can we do something about them? If they are remediable, and we can do something about them but we haven’t, then we’d say these inequalities are ultimately unjust and unfair. In other words, a society that prides itself in pursuing justice must, and I say must, strive to address and reduce these unfair health inequalities. Borrowing the words from famed sociologist Judith Butler, “the virus alone does not discriminate,” but “social and economic inequality will make sure that it does.” With COVID-19, we learn that it is not only the individuals who are sick, but our society. And it’s time we do something about it.
Thank you very much!//
Please join me in congratulating the incoming executive committee of AMSAHK and giving them the best wishes for their future endeavor!

【Like they did in 2016?】#中英對照
As November 3 approaches, many pollsters are showing polls to convey that former Vice President Joe Biden has a commanding lead and on pace to win the presidency much like what they said about Hillary Clinton's chances in 2016.
Just as in 2016, there are tea leaves indicating that President Trump is potentially on pace to make this race very close and perhaps repeat the result of 2016.
