“Never do Kegels” might be the most shareable pelvic floor advice online and it can also be one of the most misleading. We're digging into the anti-Kegel trend and why it frustrates us as clinicians who care about evidence-based pelvic floor physical therapy, especially for pregnant athletes, postpartum moms, and anyone dealing with stress urinary incontinence.We walk through how pelvic floor rehabilitation got so “squeeze” focused in the first place, and why the backlash makes sense emotionally. Then we get specific about what the research actually supports: pelvic floor muscle training has some of the strongest and most consistent data in rehab, and blanket statements like “nobody needs Kegels” erase the reality that many people do improve when training is prescribed well.We also unpack the viral EMG argument. Yes, planks and bracing can light up the pelvic floor as part of the core canister, but activation is not the same thing as an intervention that reliably stops leaking with coughing, sneezing, or jumping. That's where specificity matters: sometimes you need the pelvic floor to work as part of the whole system, and sometimes you need to be able to contract and coordinate it in isolation, on demand, in real life.If you're tired of clickbait rehab and want practical, nuanced pelvic floor guidance you can trust, listen through and join the conversation.

Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans. In this episode he and host Pete Jansons open a real before-and-after case and walk it frame by frame — eyes open and eyes closed, pre-treatment and post-treatment — so you can watch what changed. Going in: fast alpha racing at 11.5 Hz, 23 Hz beta spindling at the vertex driving insomnia, a slow edge of alpha buried in the left temporal lobe pointing at local ischemia and possible old head injury, and right-frontal beta carrying a depressive signature. Coming out: alpha stabilized toward 10 Hz, frontal beta down, left-temporal function dramatically improved. Then the bigger story — the refractory-psychiatry work Jay did with Ron Swatzyna and Nash Boutros, where roughly half of medication failures turned out to have a focal EEG biomarker that no pill could fix. As Jay puts it: you can't give soup to the whole brain.
In this episode, we dive deep into the mind-muscle connection (MMC)—the practice of consciously focusing on the target muscle during lifts to boost activation and growth. We explore landmark studies like Brad Schoenfeld's work on biceps versus quads, recent EMG research on shoulder presses, and other evidence comparing internal versus external focus. You'll learn the pros, cons, limitations, and practical takeaways for whether to “squeeze the muscle” or “move the weight” in your training
Leniwiec uchodzi za symbol ewolucyjnej porażki, ale to zwierzę potrafi utrzymać 100% masy swojego ciała na jednej kończynie przez 10 minut, obrócić głowę o 330 stopni i nosić w futrze grzyby zdolne hamować wzrost komórek raka piersi. Georges Buffon w 1749 roku nazwał je najniższą formą istnienia. Mylił się dokładnie tak bardzo, jak to możliwe.W filmie pokazuję, dlaczego leniwce to nie niedoróbka, tylko majstersztyk minimalizmu. Sprawdzamy, jak ich przodkowie wielkości mamuta rozsiewali awokado, zanim wyginęli z ręki człowieka. Tłumaczę, czemu leniwce złamały żelazną zasadę siedmiu kręgów szyjnych, której trzymają się wszystkie ssaki od myszy po żyrafę, i jak ten "konstrukcyjny fakap" dał im peryskopową głowę. Wchodzimy też w najdziwniejszą hipotezę współczesnej zoologii: czy leniwiec schodzi z drzewa za potrzebą po to, żeby hodować w swoim futrze glony, korzystając z pomocy ciem.Sięgam do katalogu Buffona, badań nad rozwojem embrionalnym kręgosłupa, pomiarów metabolizmu i pracy z 2014 roku, w której z sierści leniwców wyizolowano 84 szczepy grzybów. Część z nich okazała się aktywna przeciwko malarii, chorobie Chagasa i bakteriom lekoopornym.Jak to możliwe, że zwierzę funkcjonujące na oparach paliwa przetrwało 30 milionów lat, kiedy jego potężni krewni nie dali rady? Odpowiedź jest mniej oczywista, niż się wydaje.Źródła:1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TMvd1tI8jk2. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Bicho_pregui%C3%A7a_no_N%C3%BAcleo_Picinguaba.jpg/250px-Bicho_pregui%C3%A7a_no_N%C3%BAcleo_Picinguaba.jpg3. https://www.biolib.cz/IMG/GAL/BIG/394051.jpg4. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10618861/5. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/how-sloths-got-their-long-neck6. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10618861/7. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3120709/8. https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jzo.130419. https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/223/14/jeb218370/224513/Keep-calm-and-hang-on-EMG-activation-in-the10. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4389270/11. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4389270/12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTRUqdH8IqQ&t=1s13. https://www.scielo.sa.cr/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1659-4266202100010001514. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article-abstract/281/1778/20133006/77033/A-syndrome-of-mutualism-reinforces-the-lifestyle?redirectedFrom=fulltext15. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.008454916. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bvDsn17Fz017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLzQk13JBMM

For the final episode of the Texas Series, we sit down with Mike and Zach of Fat Cats at EMG, European Motor Gruppe, in the heart of Houston. What started as pixel cars and forum days in the mid-2000s turned into one of the most recognizable grassroots drift crews in the country. We talk about the early Fat Cats era, the shift to bright team colors, Final Bout memories, surviving Hurricane Harvey on the way to an event, and what it really takes to run a German specialty shop while staying fully invested in drifting. This one feels more like a live hangout than an interview—stories bouncing back and forth, plenty of laughs, and a real look at how long-term friendships keep a scene alive.@fatcats_fatcats@zachtriggs@emg_houstonCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTIONYou will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).@drinkAG1 #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/LIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!

Nesta mensagem, o Pr. Rafael Lemos, com o texto em Gênesis, capítulo 27, versículos 1 ao 36, nos traz uma reflexão sobre Jacó e quem somos nós.Existe uma pergunta que Deus, a vida e as circunstâncias fazem constantemente ao nosso coração: “Quem é você?”Em Gênesis 27, vemos Jacó entrando na presença de Isaque para receber uma bênção que não era destinada a ele naquele momento. E a primeira pergunta que Isaque faz é:“Quem és tu, meu filho?”Essa pergunta parecia simples, mas revelava algo profundo. Jacó estava diante do pai usando roupas que não eram suas, tentando parecer outra pessoa, falando com uma voz que denunciava sua verdadeira identidade.Quantas vezes fazemos o mesmo?Há pessoas vivendo para agradar expectativas, usando “roupas emocionais” que não representam quem realmente são. Tentam parecer fortes, espirituais, felizes ou resolvidas, enquanto por dentro estão confusas sobre sua verdadeira identidade.Jacó respondeu:“Eu sou Esaú.”O problema não era apenas uma mentira verbal. Era uma crise de identidade.1. Nunca conseguiremos viver plenamente fingindo ser outra pessoaJacó queria a bênção, mas escolheu o caminho da aparência.Ele acreditou que precisava se transformar em outra pessoa para ser aceito.Muita gente pensa assim:“Preciso ser como fulano.”“Preciso agir assim para ser amado.”“Preciso esconder quem sou.”Mas Deus não abençoa personagens. Deus trabalha com verdade.O céu não se impressiona com máscaras. Deus conhece nossa voz, nossos pensamentos e nosso coração.2. A voz revela quem realmente somosIsaque disse: “A voz é de Jacó…”Mesmo usando as roupas de Esaú, Jacó não conseguiu esconder totalmente sua identidade.Porque cedo ou tarde, a essência aparece.Podemos até enganar pessoas por um tempo, mas nossa voz espiritual revela quem somos:nossas atitudes,nossas reações,nossas escolhas,nosso caráter.Deus não está procurando perfeição. Ele procura sinceridade.3. Deus não quer apenas mudar o que fazemos, mas quem somosAnos depois, Jacó teria um encontro verdadeiro com Deus. E naquele encontro, o Senhor mudaria seu nome para Israel.Antes de mudar a história dele, Deus precisou tratar sua identidade.Isso mostra que:bênção sem transformação gera confusão;conquista sem caráter gera peso;aparência sem verdade gera vazio.Deus não quer que você viva preso tentando ser outra pessoa.Ele quer restaurar sua identidade original.4. A grande pergunta continua ecoando hoje“Quem é você?”Não a profissão.Não o título.Não o que esperam de você.Mas quem você é diante de Deus quando ninguém está olhando?Porque o mundo tenta nos dar identidades temporárias, mas somente Deus revela nossa verdadeira identidade.Conclusão: Jacó entrou naquela tenda fingindo ser Esaú, mas saiu carregando consequências emocionais profundas.Porém, a graça de Deus foi tão poderosa que, mesmo um homem confuso em sua identidade, pôde ser transformado.Isso nos ensina que:Deus não trabalha apenas com pessoas prontas;Ele transforma pessoas quebradas;Ele restaura identidades perdidas.Hoje, Deus continua perguntando:“Quem é você?”E talvez a resposta mais poderosa não seja tentar impressioná-Lo, mas simplesmente dizer:“Senhor, eu sou alguém que precisa ser transformado pela Tua graça.”Se esta mensagem edificou a sua vida, curta e compartilhe com mais pessoas.Deus te abençoe!
Sit up straight. Chin in. Ears over shoulders. Fix your forward head posture and your neck pain will improve. Sound familiar? If you've been in ergonomics for any amount of time, you've probably said some version of this — and so has almost everyone else in our field. But two studies published in April 2026 are pushing back on that framework in ways that every ergonomics professional needs to hear.In this episode, Darcie Jaremey unpacks both studies and what they mean for your assessments, your service offerings, and your sales conversations. The first: a cross-sectional study of 92 adults that found no association between forward head posture and chronic neck pain. The second: an EMG case-control study that found text neck patients showed less muscle activity, not more — which flips the standard 'muscle hyperactivity causes pain' model completely on its head. If the problem isn't overactivation but deconditioning, the intervention your clients need isn't a stretch card.Darcie also covers the April 2026 integrated review showing that combined ergonomic and physical activity interventions produce 38% reductions in neck pain and 37% reductions in hand and wrist pain — compared to education-only programs, which are the weakest approach in the evidence base. And she shows you exactly how to use all of this in your next client proposal.What you'll take away:• Why forward head posture is not as reliable a predictor of neck pain as we've been taught — and how to reframe your recommendations• The text neck EMG finding that changes what intervention actually works for screen-heavy workforces• Why stretching-only and education-only programs are the weakest evidence-based approach — and what to offer instead• The 38% neck pain reduction finding and how to use it to justify combined, longer-term program contracts• Three practical takeaways: audit your posture narrative, upgrade your service offering, and turn this research into your contentThis is part of a series of episodes diving into the April 2026 ergonomics literature — research you can use in your practice, your proposals, and your marketing this week.Are you a healthcare professional curious about how office ergonomics assessments could fit into your services? I've got you covered with some valuable (and free!) resources at www.ergonomicshelp.com/free-training.
In a patient with progressive hand weakness, is a good, careful clinical examination enough to make a diagnosis? Should we forget about EMG, ultrasound, and other testing? Maybe, maybe not. Tune in to this episode to hear an expert neuromuscular specialist perspective.
Jay Gunkelman goes in BLIND — no diagnosis, no report, no hints. Just the EEG that Joshua Moore reviewed live with the panel on The Brain Bar the night before. Two recordings, two months apart, unknown treatment in between.Jay's read: low voltage slow, diffuse encephalopathy, salience network packed with delta, right anterior insula involvement, cardio-ballistic screaming Pickwickian sleep apnea. The kicker? When Joshua revealed the case on Brain Bar, the patient HAS a confirmed sleep apnea diagnosis. Jay called it from the waveform alone.The full reveal: live-in-nurse-revoked patient who regained dressing, feeding, and recognition. OSHA reached out asking what they did. Jay's verdict: god awful to terrible. That's the line.

LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA: GÊNESIS 1:1-10 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: 1 SAMUEL 22–24; LUCAS 12:1-31 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Sérgio pegou todos os remédios que encontrou em casa. Criado em uma família disfuncional e cheia de desordem, sua vida era uma bagunça. Sua mãe sofria violência de seu pai, até que este tirou a própria vida. Agora Sérgio queria simples mente “acabar” com a dele. Mas então lhe veio à mente: Para onde irei quandom morrer? Pela graça de Deus, Sérgio não morreu naquele dia. E com o tempo, após estudar a Bíblia com um amigo, ele creu em Jesus como seu Salvador. Parte do que atraiu Sérgio para Deus foi ver a beleza e a ordem na criação. Ele disse: “Vejo coisas que são lindas e perfeitas. Alguém fez tudo isso”. Em Gênesis 1, lemos sobre Deus, que realmente criou todas as coisas. E embora a Terra fosse “sem forma e vazia” (v.2), Ele trouxe ordem à desordem. Ele “separou a luz da escuridão” (v.4), colocou a terra no meio dos mares (v.10) e fez plantas e criaturas de acordo com “sua espécie” (vv.11-12,21,24-25). Como Sérgio veio a entender, Aquele que “criou os céus e a terra e pôs todas as coisas no devido lugar” (ISAÍAS 45:18) traz paz e ordem às vidas entregues a Cristo. A vida pode ser caótica e desafiadora. Louve a Deus porque Ele “não é Deus de desordem, mas de paz” (1 CORÍNTIOS 14:33). Vamos louvá-lo hoje, pedindo que nos ajude a encontrar a beleza e a ordem que somente Ele oferece. Por: TOM FELTEN
Tom opens this week's livestream with two updates:-Registration remains open for the New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June 2026. Tom shares that there are still tickets available and says attendees can expect music, dancing, talks, good food, and the chance to meet new people.-He also shares excitement about the upcoming launch of Circle, our new community platform expected to roll out in early to mid-May, as another way for people to interact with Dr. Cowan's team and with each other.New Biology Experience link here.Highlights from this session include:-Tom comments on reports about the BA.3.2 “highly mutated” COVID variant, arguing that claims about its spread and mutation profile are based on non-specific wastewater sequencing and fear-based speculation rather than proof of a real virus.-He reviews a USA Today article on rising colon cancer cases and criticizes the diet of a featured gastroenterologist, using it as an example of why mainstream doctors should not be trusted for nutrition advice.-Tom makes a satirical aside about Artemis and alien life, joking that NASA has already found photographic evidence of aliens, though not intelligent ones.A thoughtful Q&A on:-Do children who go through so-called childhood illnesses get less chronic disease later, or are they healthier later?-What about scabies and why does it happen? Is it real? And what you should do about it.-Can COVID shots, be transmitted sexually?-Somebody asked about auras without migraines-What about fungal infections, particularly ringworm?-what about an EMG study or ultrasound for a person with issues with their hips or sacroiliac joint and lower back pain?Tom closes by encouraging listeners to stay attentive to the upcoming Circle launch, keep an eye on updates about the New Biology Experience, and continue focusing on real food, careful observation, and practical ways of supporting the body.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
What happens when your instincts tell you something is wrong—but you're dismissed again and again? For many parents, the journey to a diagnosis begins with a gut feeling—and the courage to persist in seeking answers. This week, Katie sits down with Nikki McIntosh, author and advocate, to share the story of her son Miles, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) at just 18 months old. After noticing delays in his ability to stand and bear weight, Nikki followed her instincts despite initial dismissal—ultimately leading to a life-changing diagnosis. Nikki shares what those early days looked like—from navigating testing and procedures to receiving the diagnosis that changed everything. She opens up about the grief, fear, and urgency that followed, and how she quickly stepped into the role of advocate, building a care team and learning how to navigate complex medical systems in real time.. If you've ever questioned your instincts or felt lost navigating a diagnosis, this conversation offers validation, practical guidance, and hope. This episode is sponsored by Gebauer PainEase®.

In this episode of BFR Radio, we tackle one of the most challenging populations in clinical practice: individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Traditional core stabilization programs are highly effective for reducing pain and improving function, but they often fall short in driving genuine hypertrophy and high-threshold motor unit recruitment due to the necessary low mechanical loads. We break down a recent study demonstrating how adding Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) to the lower limbs during low-load core exercises can trigger massive systemic adaptations. You will learn how BFR drives significant increases in muscle activity and thickness for the Transversus Abdominis, Multifidus, and Gluteus Maximus, and how this translates into drastically reduced disability scores in just four weeks. Reference: "Effect of Blood Flow Restriction Training with Core Stabilization Exercise on Muscle Activity and Muscle Thickness in Subjects with Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain", (2026), Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 39 (1), 97-107. Discussion Points The Limitation of Traditional Core Rehab: Why low-load stabilization works for motor control but leaves genuine hypertrophy and resilience on the table. The Systemic Effect of BFR: How restricting blood flow in the legs creates a hormonal and metabolic environment that promotes muscle growth in the core and trunk. Neuromuscular Adaptations: The preferential recruitment of high-threshold motor units in the trunk and hip muscles during BFR. Clinical Outcomes: A breakdown of the massive EMG and ultrasound imaging differences between BFR plus core stability versus core stability alone. Programming Protocols: Step-by-step breakdown of a 4-week progressive BFR core stabilization program, including 10-second isometric holds. Key Topics Covered Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain Transversus Abdominis, Multifidus, and Gluteus Maximus Function Force Closure and Spinal Stability Systemic Adaptations of Blood Flow Restriction Muscle Thickness and EMG Activation Thanks for listening, and remember to keep the pump!

Line Hilton hosts the Singing Teachers Talk podcast and challenges the continued, vague use of “support” and appoggio in breath management teaching, arguing that research shows no single correct breathing strategy among elite singers and that singers often misidentify what their respiratory muscles are doing. She explains how singing uses much larger lung-volume ranges than speech, often requiring controlled braking against passive recoil rather than pushing more air, and notes that trained singers don't have bigger lungs—just better coordination. Drawing on sources including Miller, McCoy, Titze, Sundberg, and EMG research, she reframes “support” as task-specific breath management shaped by genre, physiology, and performance demands, and offers practical studio strategies such as audiation, mental rehearsal, the Underwood method, SPLAT, physiological sigh, sustained S/counting, straw phonation, gestural calibration, score marking, CO2 tolerance work, and respiratory hygiene.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-19-2026: Dr. Dawn warns that stacking multiple gummy supplements can cause GI distress from sugar alcohols like xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol, with symptoms persisting up to three days after stopping. She recommends limiting sugar alcohol intake to 6mg daily and switching to non-gummy formulations if experiencing bloating, cramping, or diarrhea. An emailer asks about finding treatment for abdominophrenic dyssynergia, a condition causing progressive abdominal distension after meals. Dr. Dawn recommends using AI search to locate physical therapy centers offering EMG-guided biofeedback, and suggests ruling out SIBO and low stomach acid. Researchers at the American Chemical Society have created modified psilocybin variants designed to release the active compound more slowly, potentially reducing hallucinogenic effects while maintaining therapeutic benefits. Dr. Dawn expresses concern that such patentable alternatives could prevent legalization of natural psilocybin for addiction treatment. Japanese researchers used PET imaging to discover that ketamine rapidly relieves treatment-resistant depression by altering the distribution of AMPAR glutamate receptors in the brain. Within two weeks, patients' receptor patterns normalized to resemble healthy controls, with enduring changes tracking symptom improvement. A study found CBD and CBG improved fatty liver disease markers in mice by increasing phosphocreatine energy reserves and reactivating cellular recycling centers. Dr. Dawn notes the compounds were injected directly into the abdominal cavity, making the results impossible to translate to oral consumption, an example of headlines exceeding reality. King's College London research found that root canal treatment for apical periodontitis improved blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation markers over two years. Dr. Dawn advises regular flossing and periodically tapping teeth with a metal instrument to detect painful teeth needing attention. An emailer asks about Crohn's disease and the gut-brain axis. Dr. Dawn explains that the vagus nerve serves as a bidirectional highway between brain and gut, with gut bacteria producing serotonin that affects mood, while stress increases intestinal permeability and worsens inflammation. In medical news of the weird, scientists discovered that malaria parasites contain tiny iron crystals powered by hydrogen peroxide—the same fuel used in rockets. This first-ever biological self-propelled nanoparticle could inspire new approaches to powering medical nanobots.

Teeth grinding in kids is more than a dental issue — it's a window into the nervous system. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why teeth grinding happens, why common interventions often don't stick, and what the correct sequence of care actually looks like. He explains how nervous system dysregulation and spinal subluxation are the true root cause, why structural fixes like palate expanders and mouth guards can only go so far without addressing the neurospinal system first, and how to know your child is genuinely getting better — not just temporarily improved.-----Links & ResourcesEpisode 71: Mouth Breathing Matters: The Impact of Airway Health on Your Child's Development [Apple/Spotify]-----Key Topics & Timestamps01:00 Sleep as the foundation: why teeth grinding is never just a teeth problem02:30 Nervous system stress as the true root cause of teeth grinding07:00 Why the jaw, palate, and airway are symptoms — not the source08:30 Why myofunctional therapy and cranial work help but often don't last11:00 Tone of the nervous system first, structure second, symptoms third19:30 The three tiers of intervention and the sequence that actually works32:00 Sleep as the #1 sign you're on the right track33:30 Tracking real progress through Insight scans, EMG, and HRV-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into post-injury rehabilitation is transforming recovery paradigms by enabling personalized, adaptive, and efficient rehabilitation pathways tailored to individual patient needs. This podcast reviews the current advances in AI applications that facilitate assessment, monitoring, and optimization of rehabilitation programs following injuries. Through machine learning algorithms, wearable sensors, and predictive analytics, AI enhances the precision of therapy plans, tracks patient progress in real-time, and predicts recovery trajectories. The discussion includes the benefits of AI-driven rehabilitation, including improved functional outcomes, reduced recovery times, and increased patient engagement. It also addresses challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and integration with clinical workflows. 1. Transforming recovery paradigms Traditional post‑injury rehab relies on periodic in‑person assessments, therapist intuition, and standardized protocols that only partially account for individual variability. AI is shifting this model toward: Continuous, data‑driven care: Instead of snapshots in clinic, rehab can be informed by near real‑time streams of kinematic, physiological, and behavioral data from wearables, smart devices, and robot interfaces. Dynamic adaptation: Therapy intensity, task difficulty, and exercise selection can be automatically adjusted based on ongoing performance, fatigue, and recovery trends, rather than fixed schedules. Precision rehabilitation: Algorithms can identify which patients are likely to respond to specific interventions (e.g., constraint‑induced movement therapy vs robotics) and tailor plans accordingly. This moves rehabilitation from a "one‑size‑fits‑many" paradigm toward precision, context‑aware therapy, analogous to precision oncology but focused on function and participation. 2. Assessment, monitoring, and optimization AI for assessment Sensor‑based movement analysis: Machine learning models process accelerometer, IMU, EMG, and pressure data to quantify gait symmetry, joint kinematics, balance, and fine motor control with higher resolution than visual observation alone. Automated scoring: AI can approximate or support standardized scales (e.g., Fugl‑Meyer, Berg Balance Scale) by mapping sensor features or video-derived pose estimates to clinical scores, reducing inter‑rater variability and saving clinician time. Continuous monitoring Home and community tracking: Wearable and ambient sensors enable monitoring of daily steps, walking speed, arm use, posture, and adherence to exercises outside the clinic, feeding rich longitudinal datasets into AI models. Real‑time alerts: Algorithms can detect abnormal patterns—such as increased fall risk, reduced limb use, or signs of over‑exertion—and flag the clinician or adjust digital therapy content automatically. Optimization and decision support Predictive models: Using historical data, AI can forecast functional gains, plateau points, or risk of complications (e.g., falls, readmission), supporting individualized goal‑setting and resource allocation. Reinforcement learning and "digital twins": Emerging work in neurorehabilitation treats rehab as a sequential decision problem, using model‑based reinforcement learning and patient "digital twins" to recommend optimal timing, dosing, and progression of interventions over weeks to months. 3. Technologies: ML, wearables, analytics Machine learning algorithms: Supervised ML classifies movement quality (normal vs compensatory), detects exercise type from sensor streams, and estimates clinical scores. Unsupervised learning clusters patients into phenotypes (e.g., gait patterns after stroke), revealing subgroups that respond differently to certain therapies. Reinforcement learning and contextual bandits explore which therapy adjustments yield the best long‑term functional outcomes for a given individual. Wearable sensors and robotics: Inertial sensors, EMG, pressure insoles, and exoskeleton sensors capture high‑frequency movement and muscle activity data during training. Robotic devices (upper‑limb exoskeletons, gait trainers) coupled with AI can modulate assistance, resistance, or task difficulty in real time based on performance and predicted fatigue. Predictive and prescriptive analytics: Predictive analytics estimate trajectories (e.g., time to independent walking, expected upper‑limb function) to inform shared decisions with patients and families. Prescriptive analytics recommend therapy intensity, modality mix, and scheduling to maximize functional gains under resource constraints. 4. Benefits: outcomes, efficiency, engagement Improved functional outcomes: Studies report better motor recovery, gait quality, and ADL performance when AI‑assisted training is used—especially when robotics and intelligent feedback are involved. Reduced recovery time and resource use: More precise dosing and earlier identification of non‑responders can reduce ineffective sessions, shorten time to key milestones, and support safe earlier discharge with robust remote follow‑up. Increased adherence and engagement: AI‑driven digital rehab platforms use gamification, adaptive difficulty, and personalized feedback to keep patients engaged in home programs, improving adherence compared to static paper instructions. Support for clinicians: Instead of replacing therapists, AI can offload repetitive measurement tasks, highlight concerning trends, and offer data‑driven suggestions, allowing clinicians to focus on relational, motivational, and complex decision‑making aspects of care. 5. Challenges and ethical considerations Data privacy and security: Rehab AI often relies on continuous collection of sensitive motion, physiological, and sometimes audio/video data, raising questions about consent, storage, secondary use, and breach risk. Approaches like federated learning and on‑device processing are being explored to reduce centralization of identifiable data while still enabling model training. Algorithmic bias and fairness: If training data under‑represent older adults, women, certain racial/ethnic groups, or people with severe disability, AI models may misestimate performance or risk for those groups, potentially widening disparities in rehab access and outcomes. Ongoing auditing, diverse datasets, and participatory design with patients and clinicians are needed to ensure equitable performance. Integration with clinical workflows: Many AI tools are developed in research settings and are not yet seamlessly integrated into EHRs, scheduling systems, or therapist documentation workflows. Poorly integrated tools risk adding documentation burden or "alert fatigue," reducing adoption. Successful implementations co‑design interfaces with frontline therapists and physicians. Regulation, liability, and trust: It remains unclear in many jurisdictions how to regulate adaptive rehab algorithms (as medical devices, clinical decision support, or wellness tools) and who is liable when AI‑informed plans cause harm. Transparent, explainable models and clear communication to patients about the role of AI are critical for maintaining trust. 6. Case studies and emerging trends Remote and hybrid digital rehabilitation: AI‑driven platforms providing home‑based stroke, orthopedic, or Parkinson's rehab with clinician dashboards are improving adherence and extending care beyond brick‑and‑mortar clinics. Collaborative AI for precision neurorehabilitation: Frameworks combining patient‑clinician goal setting, digital twins, and reinforcement learning exemplify "collaborative AI" that augments rather than replaces therapists. Multimodal personalization: Integration of movement data, EMG, heart rate, sleep, and self‑reported pain/fatigue is enabling more nuanced adaptation to daily fluctuations in capacity. Conversational AI for education and coaching: Early work is assessing tools like ChatGPT as low‑risk supports for exercise education and motivation, though they are not yet precise enough to replace professional plan design AI is moving rehab toward patient‑centered, continuously adapting, and data‑rich care, but realizing this promise depends on addressing privacy, bias, workflow, and regulatory challenges in partnership with clinicians and patients.
Functional dystonia can closely mimic idiopathic dystonia, and objective physiological markers to support the diagnosis are still limited. In this episode, Dr. Michele Matarazzo speaks with Prof. Roberto Eleopra about a pilot study using poly-EMG during a controlled propofol sedation protocol to help differentiate functional from idiopathic dystonia. They discuss the study's rationale and design, the key findings, and what this approach could (and could not) add to real-world diagnostic workflows in selected complex cases.

Garrett shares his background as a college hockey player and physics major whose injuries and frustration with traditional PT led him to functional neurology, direct current stimulation, and ultimately creating NEUBIE after years of clinical work in Austin and graduate study in neuroscience. They discuss NEUBIE's "mapping" process to identify guarding, excess tension, inhibition, and hypersensitivity patterns, and how direct current can accelerate neuromuscular reeducation to quickly change function—highlighting examples like improved shoulder range of motion in a single session and the "master reset" vagus nerve stimulation-style protocol for recovery. Garrett explains New Fit's growth to 400–500 U.S. clinics plus international distributors, mentions exposure through athletes like Saquon Barkley and discussions on Joe Rogan's podcast, and outlines research including a 150-patient diabetic peripheral neuropathy study comparing TENS (AC) to NEUBIE (DC), showing significant improvements in pain, sensation, ADLs, EMG amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity with direct current. For gym owners and performance facilities—especially those serving older populations—Garrett covers applications for loading muscles with less joint strain, references bodybuilding use (including Dexter Jackson's reported leg improvements leading to a 4th-place Mr. Olympia finish at age 50), and cites University of South Florida studies showing similar acute responses and 8-week muscle growth compared to traditional resistance training.

In this episode, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews physical therapist Mariah King, PT, DPT from RISE Healthcare Group and Hiroki (Hiro) Kimura from Cyberdyne about the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) robotic exoskeleton and its role in neurologic rehabilitation. They discuss how the HAL system reads patients' intent to move via surface EMG signals and converts those signals into assisted movement to drive neuroplasticity and functional recovery for people with spinal cord injury, stroke, TBI, Parkinson's disease, and progressive neuromuscular disorders such as MS, SMA, and muscular dystrophy. Mariah explains RISE's one-on-one outpatient model, how patients are evaluated for HAL use, typical dosing (2–3x/week over about 2 months), and the outcome measures they track, including 10-Meter Walk, 2-Minute Walk, 30-Second Sit-to-Stand, and TUG. She shares powerful case examples, including a person with MS who relies on a wheelchair for mobility progressing to prolonged standing and assisted gait, and another individual with MS whose falls dropped from several per month to just one across four months. Hiro digs into what makes HAL unique compared to other exoskeletons: its emphasis on intention-based control, the ability for therapists to visualize and shape EMG patterns (for example, reducing co-contraction), and asymmetric or joint-specific assistance tailored to each limb. They also touch on the different HAL configurations (lower limb, single-joint, lumbar), its current status as a clinic-based rehab device (not take-home), billing considerations, the new pediatric version and forthcoming wrist device, as well as opportunities for students, clinicians, and clinic owners to get involved with RISE's HAL programs.

The 90-degree sitting posture has been the default recommendation in ergonomics for decades. But does the science actually support it? In this evidence-packed episode, we examine over 50 years of peer-reviewed research—including intradiscal pressure studies, EMG analysis, and MRI imaging—to answer a question that affects every office assessment you conduct.You'll discover why reclined sitting (95–115 degrees) actually reduces intradiscal pressure by up to 50–60% compared to standing, decreases paraspinal muscle activity by 13–24%, and maintains lumbar lordosis closer to what we see in optimal standing posture.In this episode, you'll learn:• The biomechanical case for reclined sitting (backed by intradiscal pressure data)• Why reclined sitting approximates standing posture better than upright sitting• What EMG research reveals about muscle fatigue and backrest angle• The optimal backrest angle range supported by ergonomic standards• How to address common client objections to reclined sitting• Practical clinical recommendations you can implement immediatelyWhether you're conducting office assessments, recommending chairs, or educating clients about posture, this episode gives you the evidence-based foundation to update your practice.Resources mentioned:• Roman-Liu et al. (2023) – Comprehensive literature review on intradiscal pressure• Wilke et al. (1999) – Landmark in vivo disc pressure study• Zanola et al.

In this episode of The Healthy Sleep Revolution, we speak with Dr. Robert Kerstein, prosthodontist and leading authority in computerized occlusal analysis, about how bite alignment and jaw function can interfere with sleep quality. We explore how excessive tooth contact and poor disclusion can overactivate swallowing and airway-related muscles, gradually narrowing the airway and contributing to non-restorative sleep, clenching, grinding, headaches, and facial tension. We also discuss why bite-related sleep issues are so often overlooked in standard dental exams and medical evaluations. Dr. Kerstein explains why primary care providers, neurologists, and even many dentists may miss the connection, and how traditional bite assessment tools fail to capture the timing, force, and friction patterns that drive neuromuscular overload and sleep disruption. Finally, we walk through what patients can do if they experience grinding, jaw soreness, morning headaches, or restless sleep. Dr. Kerstein outlines how computerized bite analysis using T-Scan and EMG can identify whether bite alignment is contributing to symptoms, what the Disclusion Time Reduction process looks like, and why working with a properly trained provider is essential for meaningful, lasting results. What You Will Learn How an unhealthy bite or jaw alignment can interfere with airway function and sleep Why headaches, TMJ symptoms, facial tension, and poor sleep often share a common bite-related cause Why bite problems affecting sleep are frequently missed in dental and medical settings What computerized bite analysis reveals that traditional methods cannot The most important first step in determining whether bite alignment is contributing to sleep disruption About Dr. Robert B. Kerstein Dr. Robert B. Kerstein earned his D.M.D. in 1983 and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he later served as a clinical professor of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics for 13 years. Beginning in 1984, he has studied every generation of T-Scan technology, from the original T-Scan I to the current T-Scan 10 Novus, and over the past four decades has become the leading authority in Computerized Occlusal Analysis. Dr. Kerstein has published extensively in leading dental journals and edited nine research volumes on T-Scan applications. A pioneer and academic advocate for digital occlusal technology, he teaches a measured, data-driven approach that improves bite-related treatment outcomes, enhances patient comfort, reduces prosthesis failure and remakes, and shortens overall treatment time.

Are posterior tooth contacts really harmless? Could group function and non-working side interferences be driving muscular TMD, headaches, and facial pain? And can digital occlusal data change how we approach bite adjustment? Dr. Jeremy Bliss joins the podcast to tackle one of the most controversial topics in dentistry: Selective Grinding/Equilibration for TMD but specifically Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR). With a strong focus on restorative technology, lasers, and T-Scan analysis, Jeremy brings a practical and experience-driven perspective to occlusion and bite therapy. This episode breaks DTR down from the very beginning—what it is, how it differs from traditional equilibration, and why reducing posterior tooth contact during excursive movements may help certain susceptible patients. The conversation also explores canine guidance vs group function, macro vs micro occlusion, and where DTR fits within evidence-based dentistry when conservative care has failed. https://youtu.be/TMa11nh7VIU Watch PDP255 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't buy advanced occlusal or motion-tracking tech unless your type of dentistry, training, lab support, and local backup can fully use the data—otherwise it's just a Ferrari stuck in traffic. Key Takeaways: Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) & T-Scan T-Scan: Provides objective data on tooth contact timing and force—impossible to see with the eye or articulating paper. EMG: Tracks temporalis and masseter activity to show how muscles respond to occlusion. Goal of DTR: Reduce posterior tooth contact during excursions, shifting contact to canines to relax muscles. Patient Selection: Best for symptomatic muscular TMD; requires sufficient canine/incisal overlap. Clinical Benefits: Reduces headaches, migraines, muscle tension, parafunctional damage, and progressive tooth wear. Procedure: Conservative enamel adjustments (0.5–0.75 mm), guided by T-Scan; posterior teeth should disclude in
In the final installment of this series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Divyanshu Dubey discuss the latest findings and some non-occupational exposures. Show citation: Hinson SR, Gupta P, Paramasivan NK, et al. Neural synaptic vesicle autoimmunity following aerosolized porcine neural tissue exposure: insights into autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. EBioMedicine. 2025;122:106053. doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.106053 Show transcript: Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Hello, and welcome back. This is Justin Abbatemarco. I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey, discussing his article, Neural Synaptic Vesicle Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insights Into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradiculoneuropathy. Div, maybe we could talk about non-occupational exposures? I think many of us don't see this cohort of patients commonly, but I really think this helps inform care, beyond just this specific occupational exposure. What did you guys find in your work? Dr. Divyanshu Dubey: So, one of the inspirations for this study was driven by the phenotypic characterization of patients who were described in this 2010 paper, which is somewhat similar to some of the patients I currently see in my clinic who don't seem to meet GBS or CIDP criteria. But, based on their MRI findings, based on their CSF studies, the EMG nerve conduction studies, they seem to have this polyradiculoneuropathy presentation, often presenting with asymmetric disease onsets, starting on one leg and then sometimes transitioning to the other side. In some cases, even a non-length dependent pattern with sort of proximal cervical brachial nerve root plexus involvements, which don't really seem to have a blood test, or a biomarker right now. Currently, many of these cases are a diagnosis of exclusion. I was thinking if there's a biomarker that we can identify from this 2006 to 2008 unfortunate event, that might actually help us diagnose these patients. So, once we identified synaptophysin and GAP43 antibodies in the swine abattoir cohort, I went back to our storages of these patients with other inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, and found about 5% of these patients from a large cohort of close to 300 patients, did have these antibody biomarkers. Some of these patients had paraneoplastic trigger, where we had patients with neuroendocrine tumors, or hematological malignancies mounting a response to these antibodies. But a good chunk of these patients we did not truly understand, or know what the triggers were. That might be a potential for future studies, as we expand our cohort of these antibodies, as well as study further the phenotypic characterization of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Yeah, there's just so much there, really helping to inform future clinical care outside of this very specific occupational exposure. And then, as we talked about in the podcast, I think really helping to think through how neurological autoimmune diseases develop. So, just really exciting work. We really appreciate you coming on, sharing this. We're excited for how this evolves over the coming years. Dr. Divyanshu Dubey: Thank you, Justin.

Send us a textTingling toes. A strange electric buzz that won't let you sleep. We sat down with Dr. John Morren, Director of the Neuromuscular Center at Cleveland Clinic, to unpack what truly drives peripheral neuropathy, how to read the early signs, and which treatments actually help you function and rest again.We trace the most common causes—diabetes and the broader metabolic syndrome—while surfacing underrecognized risks like rapid weight loss, malabsorption after bariatric surgery, chemotherapy, infections, alcohol, and hidden vitamin pitfalls. B12 deficiency takes center stage as a treatable driver; we talk real thresholds, why neurologists aim above 400, and how methylmalonic acid exposes low B12 even when standard labs look “normal.”Looking ahead, we explore AI as augmented intelligence: tools that flag high-risk patients in primary care, prompt simple screening steps, and sharpen EMG and nerve conduction studies to detect nerve damage earlier. It's not man versus machine; it's smarter care through synergy, personalizing treatment and expanding access without losing the human touch.Support the show

Send us a textIn episode #168 we talked with Dr. Steven O'Bryan aboutAge and sex hormone impacts on female neuromuscular function and performanceHow muscle contractions and force can change over timePostmenopausal hormonal changes and muscle strength and contractilityDr Steven O'Bryan is an internationally recognised neuromuscular physiologist whose research explores how sex-specific ageing, age-related disease, acute exercise, and long-term training adaptations influence the integration between the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle. His work aims to develop innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance physical function and performance across the lifespan. Dr O'Bryan is an expert in a range of advanced neurophysiological techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and assessments of skeletal muscle force and power. His research bridges mechanistic physiology with real-world applications in clinical, athletic, and ageing populations.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Dr. O'Bryan: The contribution of age and sex hormones to female neuromuscular function across the adult lifespan: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1113/JP287496Web: researchers.vu.edu.au/3351-steven-o'bryanLinkedIn: au.linkedin.com/in/steven-o-bryan-438916b3x.com/steven_obryanMentioned:Dr. Janet Taylor: scholar.google.com/citations?user=jIc8ErwAAAAJ&hl=enDr. Danielle Hiam: scholar.google.com/citations?user=dEpl2NsAAAAJ&hl=enAnnabel Critchlow: orcid.org/0000-0002-2039-9528Brooke Alvar: instagram.com/brooke_alvar_Female Athlete Conference: femaleathleteconference.com/ American Physiological Society conferenceMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 50% off your 1st Trifecta Nutrition order with code NR50: https://trifectanutrition.llbyf9.net/qnNk05 Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution If you're interested in sponsoring Nutritional Revolution Podcast, shoot us an email at nutritionalrev@gmail.com.
In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom, both Doctors of Physical Therapy, discuss the best exercises for strength and growth of the glutes, focusing on recent research comparing EMG muscle activation with actual peak muscle force. They explain why force production is more relevant than EMG for building glute strength and highlight the top exercises for targeting the glutes (gluteus maximus and gluteus medius). The hosts emphasize tailoring exercise selection to individual needs and goals, and share practical tips for both training and rehabilitation from injury of the glutes, including their Jen Health hip program for improving glute mobility and strength. The practical considerations can be so vital for rehabilitation from injuries including knee pain and low back pain.VivoBarefoot Discount:Support your feet and ankles with VivoBarefoot shoes—with perfect styles for any occasion!

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel exposes a commonly missed barrier to neurological healing in children: mold toxicity. He explains how mold acts as a neurotoxin that can stall progress, even when families are doing everything “right” with chiropractic care, nutrition, and lifestyle support. Dr. Tony shows how mold-related stress appears on INSiGHT scans and shares a real-life case where uncovering hidden mold led to major healing breakthroughs. This is a must-listen for parents whose child isn't improving as expected and want to uncover hidden interference in the nervous system.-----Links & ResourcesFree Resource: The 3 Hidden Roadblocks Slowing Your Child's Neurological Healing----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:03:00) - When Scans Won't Improve: Red Flags for Mold Toxicity(00:05:00) - Reframing Mold as a Neurological Stressor(00:09:00) - Breaking Down the INSiGHT Scans: What They Reveal(00:14:00) - How Mold Shows Up on Thermal, EMG & HRV Scans(00:21:00) - Real Case Study: The Hidden Washer Leak Discovery(00:26:00) - Checklist: Signs Your Child May Have Mold Toxicity(00:28:00) - The Good News: Healing After Mold Remediation-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
