259: Why Goggles Are Essential And How They Became Accessible In Vestibular Care With Patrick Esmonde 57:05

for 1 day siden57:05

57:05

Vestibular nerds this one is for you! Even if you’re just a regular neuro nerd, you’ll love this episode. Erin Gallardo interviews Patrick Esmonde of Vestibular First. Patrick shares the inspiring story behind the creation of Vestibular First and the company's mission to develop affordable, accessible tools to support clinicians in providing better vestibular care. Since necessity is the mother of invention, Patrick details the process of building the first prototype of Vestibular First goggles in a single night, leveraging his diverse technical skills and material purchased on Amazon. Goggles are essential in vestibular care for a number of reasons, which Patrick discusses as well as how inaccessible they have been until Vestibular First came to be. In addition to having goggles, educational tools that help clinicians explain to patients why they are experiencing dizziness and what is actually going on in their inner ear were lacking. Vestibular First has a strong desire for accuracy and accessibility in their education tools and realistic models so you don’t need to use your imagination to understand what is actually going on. Throughout the conversation, Patrick's passion for the vestibular community shines through. He speaks of the dedication and unique challenges faced by clinicians in this field, and the immense satisfaction of knowing their work is helping patients regain their quality of life. Vestibular First's story is a testament to the power of innovation driven by real-world needs. By prioritizing affordability, ease of use, and educational resources, the company is making a significant impact in the vestibular rehabilitation space, empowering clinicians and improving patient outcomes.

Join this conversation where Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS dives into Sarah King, PT, DPT’s winding career as a mobile practice owner turned online entrepreneur turned Director of Marketing for 5 rehab clinics in TX. Sarah goes way back with NeuroCollaborative to the literal beginnings. We discussed how it came to be and why she decided to step aside when it became official. Sarah then discusses her journey with Invigorate, her own physical therapy and wellness practice specializing in Parkinson's disease. She describes the challenges of providing care within insurance limitations and the decision to become a mobile, cash-based practice then eventually serving in the online space for people with PD. Sarah openly shares the thought process that ultimately led her to shutting down Invigorate physical therapy and wellness. Following her intuition Sarah landed in a position at Spero Rehab, a multi-location practice in TX that offers a mix of neuro and orthopedic services. She highlights Spero's key marketing strategies and provides insights to anyone looking to grow their practice with more reliable tactics than word of mouth. Sarah also discusses Spero's partnerships with nonprofits like the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation, which have provided equipment and resources to better serve their neuro patients. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration and connection in the neurotherapy community and what that looks like as well as the key ingredients responsible for the growth of Spero..

257: How VR Replaced Sensory Organization Testing With Dr. Geoff Wright, PhD 49:51

for 15 dager siden49:51

49:51

In this episode, host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Dr. W. Geoffrey Wright, a professor and director of the neuro motor sciences program at Temple University. Dr. Wright is also the co-founder and principal scientist at UprightVR, a company dedicated to developing virtual reality-based solutions for assessing and improving balance. While some clinicians may have been lucky enough to have the NeuroCom Balance Master, others have been using simple foam to conduct an “objective” measure of sensory organization. Thanks to VR and specifically UprightVR, sensory organization testing is portable, accurate, and full of data. Dr. Wright's journey into VR began in the mid-to-late 90s, when his PhD mentors at Brandeis University introduced him to the technology. Despite the prohibitive cost of VR headsets at the time, Dr. Wright recognized its potential for clinical and research applications. Over the years, the affordability and capabilities of VR have significantly improved, with Oculus's affordable headset in 2010 further democratizing the technology. In addition to his academic research, Dr. Wright has focused on studying conditions such as traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease. He explains the two-pronged aspect of his work - understanding the neuro control system and improving outcomes for patients. Upright VR initially focused on reducing fall risk in older adults, but has since expanded to address a wider range of balance disorders, including concussion treatment. The device is designed to be used by physical therapists for pre and post-treatment measurements, providing objective outcomes. The Upright VR test involves visual vestibular mismatch and sensory reweighting conditions, aiming to identify specific sensory integration problems. Dr. Wright explains the importance of these conditions in assessing balance and the rationale behind the space capsule-like environment. Beyond assessment, Upright VR offers targeted rehab modules in the form of games designed to address specific deficits, such as vestibular or ocular reflex problems. The device also provides recommendations based on test results to guide clinicians in their treatment plans.

256: Overcoming Barriers To Implementing High Intensity Locomotor Training With Dr. Annie Tapp, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS 41:51

for 22 dager siden41:51

41:51

In today’s episode Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS talks with Annie Tapp, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS to discuss her research on the barriers and facilitators to implementing high-intensity gait training for stroke rehabilitation (and beyond). Months ago Annie was recruiting survey respondents for her PhD dissertation study on high intensity gait training in inpatient rehab. NeuroCollaborative allowed her to email and post her survey to our audience and today’s conversation is a follow up to see what she learned. Annie’s research data revealed common facilitators and barriers to implementing high intensity gait training for clinicians. There were some surprises and she shares what they were as well as future research questions. Does it have to only be done with walking? We discussed the core factors that make high intensity training desirable as well as what to do when you don’t have the equipment or an appropriate candidate for treadmill training. You’ll learn creative ways to implement high intensity training as well as the reason behind it. We also discuss what you’ll also need to add in addition to high intensity training because this impairment does not necessarily improve and needs to be addressed separately. Nervous about taking someone with an acute stroke who may have never worked out before into high levels of intensity? We talk about that too!

In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo and Claire McLean interviewed Russell Meyerowitz, the founder of the Parkinson Wellness Fund, a nonprofit with a mission to help PWP (people with Parkinson’s) by providing funds for services and equipment that will make life better right now. The Parkinson Wellness Fund was born out of Russell's desire to provide immediate relief and support to families affected by Parkinson's, in contrast to the heavy focus on research and finding a "cure" in the other nonprofits in the Parkinson's community. Russell emphasized the need to address the realities of living with Parkinson's today, including the significant financial and emotional toll on people and their loved ones. The Parkinson Wellness Fund provides grants averaging $350-$400 to cover a wide range of needs, from fitness classes and home modifications to assistive devices. The organization is committed to removing barriers and making their services accessible to all PWP, regardless of their financial situation or location. Russell shared his perspective on the challenges of the current healthcare system and research landscape around Parkinson's. He questioned the focus on finding a "cure" when the costs of living with Parkinson's are already so high for many families. Instead, he advocated for a greater emphasis on improving quality of life through exercise, nutrition, and accessible support services. Russell shared stories of how the Parkinson Wellness Fund has helped families connect with resources and find hope in the midst of their struggles.

250: Uncovering The Role Of Speech Therapy In FND With Jenn Freeburn, MS, CCC-SLP 50:32

for 9 weeks siden50:32

50:32

In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, host Erin Gallardo interviews speech-language pathologist Jenn Freeburn about her work treating patients with functional neurological disorders (FND). Freeburn, a specialist in acquired motor speech and cognitive communication disorders, provides a fascinating overview of the often overlooked role of speech therapy in this complex condition. Freeburn explains that 30-50% of patients with functional motor symptoms may also experience speech-related issues, ranging from stuttering and functional dysarthria to changes in prosody and vocal quality. SLPs can also work with patients with functional cognitive disorder, a lesser-known aspect of FND that can involve memory problems, word-finding difficulties, and other cognitive challenges. As well as functional swallowing disorders, which often overlap with vocal symptoms and can lead to significant weight loss and deconditioning. In terms of treatment, Freeburn emphasizes the importance of a thorough assessment and a patient-centered, collaborative approach. She shares examples of creative techniques, such as using external cues, distractions, and even mimicry, to help patients regain natural speech patterns. Freeburn also highlights the potential for significant improvement, noting that some patients can achieve near-complete recovery of their symptoms. Throughout the conversation, Freeburn advocates for increased awareness and understanding of the role of speech therapy in FND and a collaborative approach.

248: Tackling the Challenges of Treating Ataxia With JJ Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS 39:42

for 11 weeks siden39:42

39:42

As rehab professionals, we often face unique challenges when working with patients who have ataxia. In today’s episode Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, J.J. Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS and Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS have a group discussion about working with people with it. One of the primary challenges is that often there can be slow progress. This can be exacerbated by the diverse underlying causes and presentations of ataxia, making it difficult to develop standardized treatment approaches. In today’s show we’ll discuss a couple of main points the research emphasizes to incorporate in your treatments for people with ataxia. We’ll discuss the question of how to divide up your time in the session, how to uncover what their true capabilities are, and how to balance care partner training into sessions. Some treatment examples include incorporating sensory input, start-stop techniques, resistance training, whole task versus part task training, ocular motor training and visual tracking exercises to address the challenges patients face with balance and stability.

46:50

In this episode occupational therapist Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS joined host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS to discuss 5 principles of neuroplasticity and how they can be applied in neurorehabilitation. Note: In a previous episode a different 5 were discussed (see the link to that episode below). No need to listen to the previous episode to get what you need out of this one though! In this episode, we discuss what the principles are and how to apply them to your neuro caseload: 1. Time Matters - Yes we know this, but what does that look like and what if time isn’t on your side? Learn what to do! 2. Salience Matters - This one is so important, but what if your patient MUST learn a novel task?? (For example, someone with vision impairment who must learn to use equipment or new strategies to navigate the environment). Is there any hope? Turns out there is! 3. Age Matters - Younger brains demonstrate more plasticity, but we work with so many people with aging brains. What should you know? 4. Transference - Skills learned in one area can transfer to similar tasks, which is especially useful in cognitive rehabilitation when teaching strategies. How can you harness this? 5. Interference - Do previous compensatory behaviors interfere with retraining proper movement patterns? What about the argument that kinematics don’t matter, just get someone moving? Why context matters and how and when to use error augmentation vs error-less learning. Listen to episode 197 for our first conversation on the principles of neuroplasticity Listen to our interview on using the Vivistim episode 196 www.joinneurospark.com to learn more about NeuroSpark and get access to Bri’s lecture on Central Vision mentioned in the episode!…

245: Unlocking The Potential Of Virtual Reality In Neurorehabilitation With Ramiro Maldonado, PT, DPT 48:55

for 14 weeks siden48:55

48:55

Curious about how using Virtual reality (VR) could help you with prevention, assessment and treatment of your neuro patients? VR and AR (augmented reality) is emerging as a powerful tool in the world of neurorehabilitation, and Ramiro Maldonado, PT, DPT, a physical therapist with UprightVR, shares the research on the transformative capabilities of this technology. Ramiro highlights how the true power of a good VR system lies in its ability to drive neuroplasticity by creating immersive environments that challenge and retrain sensory systems. By manipulating visual inputs and leveraging principles of motor learning, VR tools can tap into the key principles of neuroplasticity, such as repetition, context specificity, and multimodal sensory integration. One particularly intriguing aspect is the concept of "avatar representation," where VR creates a digital clone of the patient, allowing them to witness and experience their own healthy movement patterns. This innovative approach can significantly enhance motor learning and functional recovery. Ramiro also discusses the potential of VR in balance assessment and training. By expanding on traditional sensory organization testing, VR-based assessments can provide highly accurate and standardized data, enabling clinicians to identify deficits earlier and tailor interventions accordingly. As the field of neurorehabilitation continues to evolve, the integration of virtual reality holds immense promise. By harnessing the power of this technology, clinicians can unlock new avenues for neuroplasticity-driven recovery, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for their patients.
