Cognitive FX can help your long term concussion sufferers get back to normal daily function. Imagine 8 hours per day for 2 weeks focused on restoring your cognitive function. Explain what Cognitive FX is. Functional MRI FMRI - use the same scanner, the process is different, and the information is different Located in Utah Athletic trainers are integral and 1/15 of the treatment team, a large, multidisciplinary, interconnected team Intense approach to therapy, rather than 1 or 2 appointments, it is an 8-hour appointment for 2 weeks, patients come from all over the world  What role does the Athletic Trainer play in CognitiveFX?   At least 3 ATs on staff. Athletic Trainers have not been easy to find. We have gone to the NATA and other conferences. We need them. CognitiveFX will train the ATs to understand functional MRI and how the brain is connected to the body. Cranial nerves and integration. Use a lot of AT tools with the body mechanism  See patients between 18-40 and they do lots of sports, ex. Skiing, sports, slipping, and falling on ice. They do a lot of specialized training, which is connecting the brain to the body What are you looking for in an Athletic Trainer? Looking for someone that is willing to learn, some right out of school and some 20+ years, someone that is always curious and eager to learn, don't know everything about the brain, cognitive fx is an exciting science, booking for curious and trainable, not focused on experience. Every concussion is not the same What are the statute of limitations…can we “fix” a 4-year-old cognitive deficit from a sports concussion? every one knows 5 people that have had concussions and have lingering symptoms, they are not the same but they look normal so they get ignored, no statute of limitations, have pts from 3 months to 3 decades after injury and still see improvement, younger and closer the better, still have seen huge improvements even decades later I appreciate that the pricing is listed on the website. How often do insurances cover some of the treatments afterwards? Insurance reimbursement is different based on insurance companies, on average, 60-80% coverage depending on your insurance plan. The therphies are ones that people can get everywhere, so no problem with insurance. The scans are when insurance gets iffy, the companies don't understand why we need 4 scans:  2 Brain FMRI and 2 Neck FMRI  Typically, insurance companies don't cover all of the MRI exams, the therapies do get covered The costs are because so much attention is given to the patient for 8 hours a day. 24,700 price for two weeks 13,000 for one week Athletic Trainers stay a long time Insurance isn't timing the therapists, so they can do what they want at the clinic. They can alter plans without having to do insurance approval.  The first clinic was in paternship with Tom Brady and his best friend who is a Trainer, opened TB12 in Foxburrough., treat a lot of professional athletes, everyone gets concussions and they worked with the best of the best athletes, some people seem superhuman because they heal so differently, wants everyone to feel that their brain can change if given the special attention EPIC treatment: is it like a camp where patients stay overnight? Clinic is in utah, people from all over the world, 3 pts from netherlands, 2 from canada, rest from US all over, 2 from utah, 15 pts this week, they are there for 2 solid weeks back to back, this scan is different, using a regular MRI but lying down and doing neuro psy tasks, not looking at structures instead having them do tasks, FMRI picks up changing happening in the brain, that is when they see some parts of the brain are not working well and some are componstating for other parts Each scan looks different, looking at how the brain metabolizes oxygen, intense program built around the patient

This one is a bit of a current events episode. We're diving into two hot topics in Army human performance:First we dig into the ongoing drama around cutting Athletic Trainers from H2F teams, including the efforts to reverse the decision. This touches on everything from contracting policy to the difference between measuring performance and measuring effectiveness. Embedded Athletic Trainers in military settings have some of the best evidence for effectiveness (including saving more money than they cost), but that's not always how decisions get made.Then we break down some of the changes from the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) to the new Army Fitness Test (AFT). Specifically, we take a look at the pros and cons of the Standing Power Throw and the the impact of switching select close combat jobs to sex-neutral fitness standards.We mentioned a few resources/links in the conversation, so here they are:Petition to members of Congress and senior military leaders to retain Athletic Trainers in the H2F programArticle from an infantry OSUT battalion commander highlighting the value of Athletic Trainers within H2FKristen Griest's speech at West Point Founders Day 2021, focused on sex-neutral fitness standards for combat roles

Jeb Davis shares what he loves about Colorado What is your AT Story? Often-injured high school athlete and went to the physician's office for back pain where I worked one-on-one with an AT in a rehab setting Nancy Condit in Missoula, Montana.

2024 was a hall of fame year for Vince Stilger. He was inducted into not just one state Athletic Training Association Hall of Fame but two state Athletic Training Associations Hall of Fame, West Virginia and Indiana. Well deserved honors for this Lanesville, IN native with a 43 year career in the profession. What he has packed into those 43 years is hall of fame worthy at any level. Starting at Lanesville HS as a student athletic trainer and attending a athletic training workshop at Floyd Central HS, hosted by Glen Snow with a hall of fame faculty, he was well on his way for an athletic training career that would be remarkable. After a short stent at IU southeast he attended Indiana State University for both his undergraduate and masters degree. His first stop was at Saint Joseph's College in Rensselaer, IN as the head athletic trainer for four years. Then back to Indiana State as the head athletic trainer. In 1988 he became the program director for the athletic training undergraduate education program as well. This peaked an interest to purse a doctorate degree which he obtained in 1993 from Indiana University, while still volunteering with Football as a clinical athletic trainer. He spent one year at Xavier at the program director and finally landed at West Virginia University as the undergraduate program director and volunteer athletic trainer with football. He spent the next 24 years at WVU in the program director role and a volunteer clinical athletic trainer with football and baseball. He also served in leadership roles for the West Virginia Athletic Trainers' Association being elected President in 2014 to 2016. Since 1988 Vince has been the Head Athletic Trainer and Manager of Medical Services for Special Olympics Indiana in Terre Haute. This has been a special role for him and he has developed volunteer staff that looks forward to the event every year. Vince has been the recipient of the NATA service award in 2017, The West Virginia Special Recognition Award in 2018, Special Olympics Dennis Schmidt Impact Award in 2015, and West Virginia Athletic Trainers' Association 2005 Athletic Training Educator of the Year.Vince is currently the Athletic Trainer for Lanesville High School and he and his wife, Melanie, reside in Lanesville.

Keith Shireman leads the Arkansas Athletic Trainers Association and is working on retention What is your AT Story? I learned about AT from a colleague and started noticing motocross needed help. Graduated in 1995 through the internship route I became friends with Lorner Strong and she mentored me through the process My work has all been in the secondary school setting except for the side hustle working with motocross 3rd year at Cabot I was at Bentonville High School for 15 years In Arkansas, your certification qualifies you for licensure.  There is a very small licensing fee. You need a physician statement signing off that you have a license. The AR practice act has not changed since its inception in 1995.  We have met resistance to change from other organizations on changing it. The PT board helped and mentored until ATs got their board established. This created a difficult situation with somewhat a conflict of interest where the PT board was preventing the AT board from advancing the practice of ATs. We had an officer pass away from heat exhaustion at the fire academy and they did not have anyone helping regulate their heat illness   Border states can be a bargaining chip for getting legislature passed. Last year we had 14 MAT students graduate and leave AR and one stay. The population of ATs - 300+ Lots of places to go hiking, mountains, trails outdoors, beautiful seasons, mountain bike trails. What is a big challenge for Athletic Trainers in Arkansas? Practice act is one. Teacher pay was changed to the learns act So everyone was put on the same pay scale. We are meeting with the AT students to encourage them to stay in Arkansas and what are their sticking points. You're recruiting ATs to work in your state…what is your sales pitch? Lots of places to go hiking, mountains, trails outdoors, beautiful seasons, and mountain bike trails. Contact Us: Keith Shireman Jeremy Jackson

What is your AT Story? When did you get introduced to Athletic Training? Where did you go to college? Where was your first job? How long have you been practicing? Typical high school athlete story” Kyle had an ankle injury that was pretty significant, but ended up just walking it off. He later sustained a concussion but kept playing because we didn't have the tools to identify a concussion back then. Kyle talked with a friend who was a football player and one of his friends was an AT student.  That sparked an interest and he began working with Chad Starkey in Ohio He went to WVU for a master's degree.  Part-time he worked with a D3 school and loved getting to work all of the sports. Kyle finally decided he needed to get out of the 3-hour radius he had always lived in. Alabama was the furthest job offer he received from home, so he took that one. What is a unique aspect of Athletic Training in your state? Everything is 3-5 hours away, mountains, beaches, big cities… Spiritually I am free to love others. The people are great. Nobody has a personal agenda, just people looking to do the work. I live by work-life integration so that everything benefits. What is a big challenge for Athletic Trainers in Alabama? Involvement.  They need people to get involved. Alabama had a council of 7 members when Kyle started and now has 17 and most of the positions are full. In 2020 we updated our state practice act and had to redo it in 2021 after COVID We created the advisory council which allows us to have 3 doctors and 3 ATs as the decision-makers. Retention is a big challenge. We have focused our effort on the rural incentive grant to help the 1-3A schools' Athletic Trainers to get up to $7500 working at those smaller schools Alabama is starting a loan reimbursement program for people graduating with an MAT degree who can get $7500 for 5 years.

In 1987 a young Beth Giesman was trying to figure out what she was going to do with the rest of her life. A chance meeting with Mark Goodrich on a campus visit at Vincennes University and learning about a profession that was new to her, turned in to over 30 years working as an athletic trainer. Small University, small classes but big AT experiences are what Vincennes offered as well as young enthusiastic mentor in Goodrich. Beth excelled in this environment.

Dr. Owen McConnell joined Tom Katz on Wake Up Tri-Counties for the first "Here's to Your Health" Hammond-Henry news segment on WKEI radio. Dr. McConnell talks about non-medicinal options for pain, including chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture. In December, Hammond-Henry Hospital in Geneseo expanded its healthcare services by introducing a new chiropractic practice led by Dr. Owen McConnell, DC, ATC, LAT. Dr. McConnell can treat patients from babies to the elderly. Located on the hospital's first floor, the practice will offer appointments and accept walk-ins, enhancing overall patient care by integrating chiropractic services with existing medical and ancillary services. Anyone interested in scheduling an appointment may call the Geneseo Medical Group at 309-944-1275. He will also accept walk-ins. “I chose chiropractic care because I like the hands-on approach to helping people feel better,” said Dr. McConnell, who uses a variety of techniques but also suggests his patients get muscle work to aid in their healing. “I am committed to providing each patient with exceptional care, offering personalized healthcare solutions tailored to each patients' unique needs.” Dr. McConnell is from Erie, where he resides with his wife and three children. He graduated from Erie High School, Central College, and Palmer College of Chiropractic. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training and has a Doctorate in Chiropractic. As a certified Athletic Trainer, Dr. McConnell has a sports injury background and knowledge of diagnosis, initial treatment, and rehab exercises to enhance his patients' recovery.
