Falls among older adults are becoming a public health crisis and significant burden on the healthcare system.  More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling. Falls cost the healthcare system about $31 billion dollars annually. In fact, falls are not a normal part of aging and can be prevented with the proper assessment and management.  Rehabilitation professionals are primed to lead this initiative as part of an interdisciplinary team. This podcast will deepen your understanding of the interplay between risk factors associated with falls. Additionally, listeners will learn the most evidence-based examination and evaluative tools available to be able to develop the best individualized plan of care along with skilled justification for treatment.  Finally, the podcast will outline the current best practices and interventions available to healthcare professionals in managing falls and aid in the prevention of future falls.

In this second part of our conversation with Professor Rylee Dionigi, we continue exploring the Masters sport phenomenon from a socio-cultural perspective. Ageing-as-decline discourse is nowadays challenged by active, healthy and successful ageing discourses. What are the opportunities but also potential problems associated with these competing discourses? What are the implications for exercise and health promotion with older adults? We also explore methodologies and methods that have been useful in Prof. Dionigi's research into Masters sport and physical activity. Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast. Interested in exploring further?

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Kenneth Miller onto the show to discuss patient care transitions between physical therapy settings. Dr. Kenneth L. Miller is a physical therapist and educator with more than 20 years of experience working in home care and inpatient rehab settings, as well as more than 7 years in adjunct faculty roles for the University of St Augustine, New York Institute of Technology, University of Michigan–Flint, and Touro College. He is a clinical educator at Catholic Home Care, in Farmingdale, N.Y., has developed a course on clinical pharmacology for GREAT Seminars and has several online courses for MedBridge. Dr. Miller chairs the APTA’s Home Health Section Practice Committee and is a member of the editorial boards of Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, GeriNotes, and is a manuscript reviewer for the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy. In this episode, we discuss: -The current state of information transmission between physical therapy settings -Biomarkers used to evaluate the health status of patients -The real risk of patient fragility and the importance of adequately overloading during treatment -How to enhance home compliance and educate patients through technology -And so much more!   Information sharing between healthcare settings is often not reliable. Instead practitioners should focus on ensuring they have the most salient information. From Dr. Miller’s experience, he states, “It is often difficult to get the information I need. It becomes futile sometimes to try and get that information. Some clinicians have stopped reaching out to hospitals and just try to do the best they can with what they have.”   Effective and literature supported biomarkers such as gait speed and distance are useful tools to assess risk of re-hospitalization and guide plan of care. Dr. Miller stresses to, “Get those biomarkers out there, so that way even if we can’t get all of the information, be very specific with the type of information, and we can reduce readmissions.”   With a growing demographic of home care patients, assessing patient risk level and the need for physical therapy is becoming more important. Dr. Miller notes, “Our patient case loads are going through the roof. I think we need to be able to triage our patients more appropriately for who does need care and who doesn’t and try not to make visits that are not necessary.”   One of the biggest challenges facing physical therapy exercise prescription is effectively loading patients. Dr. Miller shares that, “The only known way to combat frailty at this point is exercise and it has to be appropriately dosed.”   For more information on Dr. Miller: Dr. Kenneth L. Miller is a physical therapist and educator with more than 20 years of experience working in home care and inpatient rehab settings, as well as more than five years in adjunct faculty roles.

More than seven million people in the United States have survived a stroke. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability. How can research help? On Thursday, June 16, 2016, Kessler Foundation held an evening of discovery and discussion with our rehabilitation researchers. Steve Adubato, PhD, our panel moderator along with distinguished research and clinical staff, A.M. Barrett, MD, Karen J. Nolan, PhD, Mooyeon Oh-Park, MD, and Yekyung Kong, MD demonstrated their latest findings and discussed innovative efforts propelling new discoveries with the latest technologies to help stroke survivors of all ages regain independence and return to their homes, their communities, and the workplace. Be sure and check out the online video "The Brain Damage You Don’t Know You Have” with Drs. Sanjay Gupta and A.M. Barrett at http://www.everydayhealth.com/news/brain-damage-you-dont-know-you-have/ For more information about stroke research, go to https://www.kesslerfoundation.org/researchcenter/stroke/index.php Our distinguished research and clinical staff: A.M. Barrett, MD, a cognitive neurologist and clinical researcher, is director of Stroke Rehabilitation Research at Kessler Foundation. She is also chief of Neurorehabilitation Program Innovation and co-leader of the Stroke Rehabilitation Program at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Dr. Barrett focuses on brain-behavior relationships from the perspective of cognitive neurology, cognitive neuroscience, and neurorehabilitation. Her research centers on post-stroke cognitive dysfunction, with an emphasis on hidden disabilities of functional vision—spatial bias and spatial neglect—that hinder recovery. Dr. Barrett is a founder of the Network for Spatial Neglect, an international organization dedicated to awareness, diagnosis, and treatment of this often overlooked complication of stroke. Karen J. Nolan, PhD, an expert in biomechanics and motor rehabilitation, is senior research scientist in Human Performance and Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation, clinical research scientist at Children’s Specialized Hospital, and affiliated faculty at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her research centers on improving outcomes in adults and children with disorders that affect balance, gait, and peripheral motor control. Dr. Nolan investigates the use of robotic exoskeletons in individuals recovering from stroke and traumatic brain injury, as well as the efficacy of a virtual reality intervention for balance deficits caused by brain injury in military, veteran, and civilian populations. Mooyeon Oh-Park, MD, a physiatrist and clinical researcher, is director of Geriatric Rehabilitation at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation and research scientist in Stroke Rehabilitation Research at Kessler Foundation. Dr. Oh-Park’s comprehensive approach to post-stroke rehabilitation addresses cognitive and physical deficits, as well as the impact on caregivers. She applies her expertise in electrophysiology, neuromuscular imaging, and mobility assessment to develop new ways to facilitate recovery after stroke. Dr. Oh-Park studies how under-recognized conditions such as delirium affect recovery, and how advances like telemedicine and exoskeleton-based interventions can be applied to stroke research. Yekyung Kong, MD, a physiatrist and acupuncturist, is director of Outpatient Stroke Services at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Dr. Kong specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients, as well as the treatment of individuals with neurological disorders, gait dysfunction, spinal cord injury, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. She has expertise in pain management, spasticity management, the therapeutic use of orthoses (braces), and acupuncture. Dr. Kong has written numerous articles, publications, and abstracts and has appeared on several news broadcasts as an expert in the field of stroke rehabilitation.
