Zac Wolfe is known for his grit and determination. He is a great example of how you can live a full life with a spinal cord injury and still maintain the fire to push for better outcomes. A few years ago, Zac enrolled in a Department of Defense, SCIRP-funded clinical trial using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) to improve upper limb function. In this conversation we bring on Zac and the principal investigator of the study, Dr. Ela Plow of the Cleveland Clinic, to discuss how TDCS works along with the details of the study and what function Zac recovered. We also talk about the role of belief and determination in study participants, the importance of advocacy, why siloed thinking hinders research progress, how small functional gains become cascades for additional recovery and much more. This is an interesting conversation that I know you'll enjoy, so let's get to it! More info: https://u2fp.org/get-educated/curecast/episode-144.html

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Andrea takes a deep dive into one of the most important — and often overlooked — topics in the swimming pool industry: safety. With summer approaching and pool usage increasing across the country, Andrea discusses the real-world responsibility pool professionals carry when it comes to preventing drownings, suction entrapment incidents, and avoidable tragedies. The episode opens with two heartbreaking Florida drowning stories involving young children — one at a pool party and another at an Airbnb rental property — sparking a broader conversation about accountability, supervision, and the role safety barriers play in aquatic environments. Andrea breaks down the five types of suction entrapment hazards including: Hair entrapment Limb entrapment Body entrapment Mechanical entrapment Evisceration/disembowelment She explains how these incidents occur, why they remain a serious risk even in modern pools, and why educating homeowners and clients about suction safety is critical. The discussion also explores how damaged or missing drain covers, improper flow rates, aging plastics, and poor maintenance practices can create dangerous conditions. The episode includes a detailed explanation of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (VGBA), including: Why VGBA compliance is about the entire hydraulic system — not just drain covers The role of dual drains and unblockable drains Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) Maximum flow ratings Drain cover life expectancy Pump sizing considerations Commercial inspection requirements Andrea also shares the tragic stories behind the legislation, including the deaths of Virginia Graeme Baker and Abigail Taylor, and how those incidents changed federal pool safety standards forever. Other topics include: Why drowning deaths are increasing in the United States The importance of swimming lessons and active supervision Water watcher programs Airbnb and short-term rental pool safety concerns Why cloudy water should never be ignored Why pool pros should document damaged safety equipment immediately Common dangerous pool games and behaviors that should be discouraged Long hair safety around suction outlets Why “touch the drain” games are a terrible idea The importance of keeping gates and barriers closed Andrea also provides listeners with an extensive list of water safety organizations and educational resources including:Pool SafelyNational Drowning Prevention AllianceAbby's HopePHTA Step Into SwimEvery Child A SwimmerCDC Healthy SwimmingThis episode serves as both a refresher and a reminder that pool safety is not a checklist — it's a culture. Whether you service residential pools, commercial facilities, vacation rentals, or aquatic centers, this conversation reinforces why education, awareness, and proactive prevention matter.Follow the Talking Pools Podcast on all major streaming platforms and join the conversation on social media.

SURGICAL EDUCATOR'S ACADEMY Advanced Online Surgery Masterclass Upper Limb Ischemia Overview ✔️Upper limb ischemia is significantly less common than lower limb ischemia with a ratio of approximately one to nine due to rich collateral networks and a lower workload. ✔️The vast majority of cases involve small vessel occlusive diseases affecting palmar and digital arteries while only ten percent involve large vessel occlusive disease.✔️ Common etiologies include Raynaud phenomenon and thoracic outlet syndrome plus thromboangiitis obliterans which is also known as Buerger disease. ✔️Diagnosis is primarily based on history and physical examination supported by non invasive imaging such as duplex scans and computed tomography angiography.Raynaud Phenomenon ✔️This is a dynamic vasospastic disorder of the small arteries and arterioles triggered by cold exposure or emotional stress. ✔️It is characterized by a pathognomonic triphasic color change where the digits turn white due to ischemia then blue due to deoxygenated blood and finally red due to reactive hyperemia. ✔️Primary Raynaud or Raynaud disease is idiopathic and symmetric and benign typically affecting young women without causing tissue loss. ✔️Secondary Raynaud or Raynaud syndrome is associated with underlying connective tissue diseases like scleroderma and carries a high risk of digital ulcers or gangrene. ✔️Management focuses on patient education and warmth and smoking cessation with calcium channel blockers like nifedipine as the first line pharmacotherapy for moderate to severe cases.Thoracic Outlet Syndrome ✔️This condition involves the compression of the neurovascular bundle as it exits the chest through the scalene triangle. ✔️It is classified into three types including neurogenic which accounts for ninety five percent of cases and venous and arterial. ✔️Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is rare and often caused by mechanical compression from a cervical rib or an anomalous fibromuscular band. ✔️The most sensitive provocative maneuver is the EAST or Wright test where the patient abducts the arm to ninety degrees with external rotation to check for blanching or radial pulse weakening. ✔️Initial treatment for most patients is physiotherapy to improve posture while surgical decompression via rib resection and scalenectomy is reserved for refractory symptoms or significant arterial compromise.Thromboangiitis Obliterans or Buerger Disease✔️ This is a non atherosclerotic and segmental inflammatory occlusive disease of the small and medium sized arteries in the distal limbs. ✔️It predominantly affects young male smokers under the age of fifty. ✔️Diagnostic criteria include a history of tobacco use and onset before age fifty and distal arterial occlusion in the absence of atherosclerotic risk factors or proximal embolic sources. ✔️Arteriography typically reveals a characteristic corkscrew appearance of collateral vessels around the occlusions. ✔️The only definitive treatment that stops the progression of the disease and prevents amputation is absolute and permanent smoking cessation. ✔️Supportive therapies include intravenous iloprost for ulcer healing and sympathectomy to reduce vasospasm and manage refractory pain.Diagnostic and Management Pathways ✔️The diagnostic pathway begins with functional and non invasive tests such as bilateral segmental arm pressures and digital pulse volume recordings. ✔️Duplex ultrasound is essential for dynamic testing in suspected thoracic outlet syndrome while computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography provides anatomical mapping for surgical planning. ✔️Revascularization is generally successful for large vessel disease whereas small vessel vasospastic diseases are managed with supportive care and risk factor modification. ✔️Selective arteriography remains the gold standard for invasive imaging when planning complex interventions.
Professional indemnity insurance is a fickle market. Conveyancing firms are once again navigating a market that remains challenging, nuanced, and increasingly shaped by risk culture rather than raw numbers.Renewal season is the backdrop to this latest Today's Conveyancer Podcast discussion with Miller Insurance account managers Marianne McWilliams and Phil Limb who lift the lid on what insurers are really looking for and why firms need to rethink how they present themselves.Appetite for conveyancing work has improved say McWilliams and Limb, but insurers are scrutinising firms more closely than ever, particularly around expertise, file supervision and risk management.Limb reiterates the point many insurers have made in recent years; dabbling is dangerous. Firms undertaking only a handful of transactions must demonstrate robust systems, specialist case management and clear referral points. “If you are doing a low amount of conveyancing, it's about proving the expertise… and that you've got referral points at certain critical points” .Technology is now central to that story. Specialist case management systems, automated checkpoints and emerging AI tools can all strengthen a firm's risk profile but only when used intelligently. McWilliams cautions that AI requires rigorous due diligence and human oversight: “if you ask the wrong prompt… you're not going to get the right answer” .Insurers are also watching emerging risks closely, from crypto‑related funds to cyber incidents. The takeaway is clear: firms must articulate their risk culture, not just their compliance. Insurers want clarity, candour and evidence of control. Conveyancers who can demonstrate that story will be the ones securing the best outcomes when it comes round to renewal.The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Stride Robotics Lightweight Power Knee Redefining Movement This episode wrapped up Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month in a powerful way by looking toward the future of mobility, technology, and what it truly means to help people live again after limb loss. After a month full of stories about trauma, cancer, amputation, grief, fear, faith, and resilience, I wanted to end this series by asking a bigger question: once someone survives, how do we help them truly reclaim their life? That is why I invited Revanth, cofounder and CEO of Stride Robotics, onto the BAWarrior podcast. Stride Robotics is working to redefine mobility through lightweight powered prosthetic technology designed to restore strength, endurance, and freedom for amputees. I also have the honor of serving as an advisor for their company, helping give feedback from the lived experience of an above-knee amputee. In this conversation, Revanth shared his journey from robotics and engineering into the prosthetic world. What stood out to me most was his honesty. He admitted that, early on, he was focused on building something impressive. But through conversations with amputees and prosthetists, he realized that innovation only matters if it solves a real human problem. That shift — from building something cool to building something truly useful — is where the heart of this conversation lived. We talked about the communication gap between engineers, prosthetists, and amputees. All three groups are speaking from different perspectives, and yet all three must work together if prosthetic technology is going to improve real lives. As an amputee, I know firsthand that we do not always describe things in technical terms. We describe how something feels. We talk about trust, effort, fear, exhaustion, balance, and whether a device allows us to live the way we want to live. One of the most powerful parts of this episode was our conversation around “mental load.” True mobility is not just about walking. It is about not having to think through every single step. It is being able to hike and look at the view instead of staring at the ground. It is walking into a room without calculating every movement. It is trusting your body and your prosthesis enough to live fully. Revanth explained how Stride Robotics is working on a powered knee that is lighter, quieter, more affordable, and more functional than many powered options currently available. Their goal is to reduce strain on the hips, back, shoulders, and intact limb while helping amputees move with more confidence and less compensating. We talked about battery life, USB-C charging, fall prevention, waterproof possibilities, loaner programs, clinician support, and even future data feedback that could help prosthetists better understand how their patients are moving in real life. But what I loved most was that this was never just a conversation about a device. It was about dignity. It was about access. It was about making sure technology does not only serve the few who can afford it, but eventually reaches amputees around the world who are desperate for mobility, independence, and hope. This episode is also a call to action. Whether you are an amputee, prosthetist, engineer, student, investor, donor, or simply someone who cares, there is a place for you in this movement. Stride Robotics needs feedback, connection, research, support, and people willing to help move innovation forward. Limb loss awareness cannot end with awareness. It has to move us into action. My hope is that this episode inspires you to get involved, ask better questions, support meaningful change, and become a beacon of hope for those still fighting to reclaim their mobility and their life. Join the Movement. Bring dignity, independence, and mobility to all. Today, that’s YOUR Call to Action, your charge from this month of story telling. Be a part of the change, today!

CLTI- Chronic Limb Threatening IschemiaDefinition and Clinical Presentation ✔️Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia is a clinical diagnosis defined by severe peripheral arterial disease causing ischemic rest pain or tissue loss such as non healing ulcers and gangrene that has persisted for more than two weeks. ✔️The hallmark symptom is nocturnal rest pain which is severe forefoot or toe pain that is worse when lying flat and is uniquely relieved by dangling the foot over the side of the bed. This position of dependency uses gravity to increase hydrostatic pressure and meet basic metabolic demands of the tissues. ✔️Physical examination signs include cool and shiny hairless skin with thick nails plus the presence of punched out distal ulcers or black dry gangrene.Classification and Risk ✔️Assessment Clinical severity is traditionally measured by the Rutherford system where category four indicates rest pain and categories five or six involve varying degrees of tissue loss. ✔️The modern gold standard for predicting amputation risk is the WIfI system which stands for Wound Ischemia and foot Infection. Each category in this system is graded from zero to three to determine the urgency of intervention. Patients with high WIfI scores are at a significantly increased risk of major limb loss within six months and require urgent evaluation.Diagnostic Evaluation ✔️The Ankle Brachial Index is the initial first line test but it is often falsely elevated above one point three zero in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease because of calcified and noncompressible vessels. ✔️In these instances a Toe Brachial Index of less than zero point seven zero or a toe pressure below thirty to forty millimeters of mercury is required to confirm the diagnosis. ✔️Computed Tomography Angiography is considered the gold standard imaging study to map the arterial anatomy and provide the necessary information for planning revascularization.Treatment and Revascularization Strategies ✔️Management of this condition requires urgent revascularization typically within days to weeks. ✔️Treatment options include endovascular techniques like balloon angioplasty and stenting which are less invasive and preferred for focal lesions or frail patients with high surgical risk. ✔️Open surgical bypass is indicated for fit patients with long segment arterial occlusions. The great saphenous vein is the gold standard conduit for bypass and must be preserved for leg salvage rather than being used for other procedures. After surgery a multidisciplinary team is essential for wound healing which can take three to six months.Medical Therapy and Long Term Prognosis ✔️Aggressive medical management is necessary to save the life of the patient even after the limb has been successfully salvaged. ✔️This includes high intensity statins and antiplatelet medications plus strict smoking cessation and diabetes optimization. Without this intensive therapy approximately fifty percent of patients will die from cardiovascular causes such as heart attack or stroke within five years. Additionally up to thirty percent of patients may still require a major amputation within five years highlighting the severe nature of the underlying systemic disease.

In this episode of HSS Presents, Dr. Evelyn Murphy joins Dr. S. Robert Rozbruch to discuss a complex case involving a quadrilateral amputee seeking mobility solutions after post-sepsis limb loss; the case was published in the March 2026 issue of "Grand Rounds from HSS: Management of Complex Cases." The discussion highlights the potential of osseointegration limb replacement for patients struggling with traditional socket fit, short residual limbs, and poor soft tissue envelopes. Dr. Rozbruch details the patient selection process, a multi-phase rehabilitation protocol involving gradual loading, and the improvements in proprioception and daily endurance. Touching on surgical innovations like custom 3D-printed implants and concurrent nerve reconstructions, this episode provides a fascinating look at how bone-anchored prosthetics are redefining independence and quality of life for amputees.

Quel est l'impact de la fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz sur les économies africaines ? Coup de projecteur ce matin sur le Cameroun, qui est un pays producteur de pétrole, mais qui est obligé d'importer le carburant qu'il consomme, car il n'a aucune capacité de raffinage. Hiram Samuel Iyodi est un jeune homme d'affaires de 39 ans, qui a travaillé plusieurs années dans le secteur pétrolier à Douala. Le 12 octobre dernier, avec son parti, le MP3, il était aussi candidat à la présidentielle, où il est arrivé officiellement huitième avec moins de 1% des voix. De passage à Paris, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Quelles sont les répercussions du conflit au Moyen-Orient sur un pays comme le vôtre, le Cameroun ? Hiram Samuel Iyodi : Le détroit d'Ormuz, c'est quand même 16 % des exportations du continent africain. Le Cameroun, en particulier, est un pays producteur de pétrole qui ne le raffine pas son pétrole, qui le commercialise sur les marchés internationaux. Depuis le démarrage de la guerre du côté de l'Iran, c'est un doublement des prix des produits pétroliers sur les marchés internationaux. L'Etat du Cameroun se retrouve donc de nouveau à devoir subventionner partiellement la mise à la consommation des produits pétroliers sur le marché. Il y a un impact qui ne va pas tarder à venir sur les coûts des transports et sur les coûts des produits alimentaires. Alors, depuis plus de deux ans, le Nigeria voisin dispose d'une méga raffinerie construite par le milliardaire Aliko Dangoté, près de Lagos. Vous qui avez travaillé plusieurs années dans le secteur pétrolier chez CAC International, qu'est-ce que vous conseillez ? Aujourd'hui, la réalité de la situation nous impose à peu près un appel de fonds de 1000 milliards de francs CFA pour pouvoir réparer la Sonara. Je pense que ça devrait être la priorité. C'est la raffinerie qui se trouve à Limbé. Et qui a pris feu… Et qui a pris feu en 2020. En plus, il y a la nécessité, avec le déploiement de la zone industrielle du port autonome de Kribi, de construire une deuxième raffinerie à Kribi. C'est vrai que le Nigeria a augmenté ses livraisons de produits pétroliers vers le Cameroun. On est pratiquement à 30 ou 40 % aujourd'hui. C'est notre premier fournisseur actuellement, notamment avec l'investissement de Dangoté. Mais pour une meilleure souveraineté énergétique, le Cameroun gagnerait à la fois à remettre en état la raffinerie de Limbé et à en construire une nouvelle au niveau de la zone industrielle du port de Kribi. Et que faut-il faire ? Globalement, il faut pouvoir mettre en place une stratégie industrielle qui nous permet de transformer nos matières premières localement. Nous continuons d'importer des denrées comme l'huile de palme, comme le sucre, alors que nous avons le territoire et les compétences pour les transformer localement. L'un des secteurs les plus touchés par la crise au Moyen-Orient, c'est aussi le transport aérien. La hausse du prix des billets d'avion, est-ce que c'est inéluctable ? C'est inéluctable. Si le kérosène flambe. Il y a un impact direct. Il y a le transport aérien, vous l'avez dit, il y a également le transport maritime. Donc, c'est un impact majeur sur un continent pour lequel le pouvoir d'achat est déjà relativement bas. On a déjà pratiquement une vingtaine de monnaies africaines qui ont été dépréciées depuis le début de l'année. Nous sommes fortement inquiétés par la situation. Alors vous parlez de ces monnaies nationales dont la valeur est dépréciée. Vous qui êtes hostile au franc CFA, est-ce que, momentanément, cette monnaie adossée à l'euro ne vous protège pas ? Si, elle assure, malheureusement ou heureusement, une certaine stabilité. Avant de pouvoir penser à une transformation ou un cheminement vers une monnaie autonome, africaine ou camerounaise, il faut un minimum de stabilité de l'économie. Et là, nous sommes donc obligés pour le moment de faire avec le franc CFA qui assure un minimum de stabilité pour nos économies. Vous êtes aussi un homme politique camerounais à la tête du Mouvement patriotique pour la prospérité du peuple, le MP3. Vous avez brigué la magistrature suprême le 12 octobre dernier. Au final, vous êtes arrivé huitième avec moins de 1 % des voix officiellement. N'êtes-vous pas déçu par ce score ? Déçu par le résultat. Mais je pense que les citoyens ont estimé que le candidat Issa Tchiroma était celui qui incarnait le mieux la rupture face au régime, ou alors qui avait le plus grand espoir de chance de victoire. Et donc le débat politique en 2025 ne s'est pas vraiment joué sur la qualité des offres politiques, mais sur la capacité à renverser le régime RDPC. En fait, beaucoup de sympathisants de l'opposition ont voté massivement Tchiroma c'est ça ? Absolument. Même dans notre camp. Nous avons des militants qui nous appelaient le matin pour nous prévenir qu'ils allaient voter en faveur du candidat Tchiroma. Pour combattre la fraude électorale dans votre pays, vous proposez une application de suivi du dépouillement des bulletins en temps réel ? C'est ce que nous avons proposé, ce qui nécessitait d'avoir une couverture de l'ensemble des bureaux de vote, avec une remontée instantanée des résultats qui permettrait que le même jour, à 22 h-23 h, on sache quelle est la tendance réelle des votes. Il y a un mois, le Parlement camerounais a révisé la Constitution de votre pays. Paul Biya va être désormais épaulé par un vice-président. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ? Deux choses. La première, c'est que cette loi a été votée par un Parlement dont le mandat est échu théoriquement depuis l'année 2025, qui se retrouve donc en train de voter une nouvelle architecture constitutionnelle d'une part. Et d'autre part, le président Biya n'avait pas présenté cette disposition-là dans le projet qu'il avait défendu devant les Camerounais au moment de la campagne électorale. Donc pour nous, c'est une violation de la légitimité populaire. Alors pour l'instant, personne ne sait qui va être désigné par Paul Biya comme son vice-président, mais certains, dans l'opposition, redoutent un choix dynastique… C'est ce que nous entendons dire. Pour être très précis, il est évoqué le nom du fils actuel du président de la République, qui est un citoyen camerounais comme les autres, donc qui pourra aspirer à une fonction politique. Pour nous, le problème réside dans la qualité nominative de cette vice-présidence. On pourrait donc se retrouver avec un citoyen camerounais à la tête de l'Etat, qui n'a pas été désigné par les électeurs camerounais. Donc si fonction de vice-président il devrait y avoir, cela devrait passer par un vote au cours d'une élection, au cours peut-être de la prochaine élection présidentielle avec un ticket président vice-président qui serait présenté aux citoyens camerounais. Le leader d'opposition Maurice Kamto, qui vous avait reçu pendant la campagne électorale, parle même d'une régression, d'un naufrage constitutionnel et politique… Ce que le président Kamto dit est exact. Nous devons rester mobilisés pour rappeler que ce qui se passe est extrêmement grave pour la démocratie camerounaise.
Longitudinal decline in upper-limb range of motion in adults with cerebral palsyErika Cloodt, Jenny Hedberg-Graff, Anna Lindgren, Marianne Arner, Evgenia Manousaki, Katina Pettersson, Elisabet Rodby-BousquetAbstractAim: To analyse longitudinal changes in passive range of motion (ROM) in the upper limb in adults with cerebral palsy (CP).Method: Passive ROM for shoulder abduction and flexion, supination, and elbow and wrist extension was analysed in a longitudinal cohort of adults aged 16 to 76 years from the Swedish CP registry. Individual ROM trajectories and mean ROM curves were calculated using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). A mixed-effects model was used to examine changes over 3 to 13 years 7 months.Results: In total, 1395 adults with CP were analysed (769 males, 626 females; median age 26 years). A continuous decline in shoulder ROM, supination, and wrist extension was observed across all MACS levels. Decline rates differed between MACS levels for shoulder flexion, elbow extension, and wrist extension, with steeper declines at higher MACS levels (levels IV and V). Adults classified in lower MACS levels (I and II) had greater initial ROM and slower declines compared to adults classified in higher MACS levels.Interpretation: Upper-limb ROM continuously declined in adults with CP, particularly at higher MACS levels. The varied decline rates highlight the need for tailored interventions and systematic follow-up to maintain ROM and functional ability, especially among individuals at higher risk.

Send us Fan MailWe talk with Maurice Johnson from Floyd Brace and Limb about what it really takes to scale digital fabrication in a multi-clinic prosthetics and orthotics business without losing quality. We get candid about software friction, printer economics, adjustable socket ethics, and why turnaround time and cash flow often matter as much as the tech. • Floyd Brace and Limb's growth from a one-office shop to a multi-location model • why centralizing fabrication matters when clinicians need to stay patient-facing • the industry's fragmented scanning to CAD to print workflow and why it blocks repeatability • what Floyd prints today and why definitive sockets still often stay carbon fiber or outsourced • real-world cost targets and the volume problem with larger printers • AirFit-style transtibial consistency as a way to reduce heavy CAD dependence • Formlabs size limits, throughput questions, and hybrid print plus outsource strategies • adjustable sockets as both a patient benefit and an ethical billing discussion • material extrusion TPU flexible inners as an alternative to powder-bed fusion variability • early thinking on 3D printed SMOs and by-measurement versus cast-and-scan workflows Special thanks to Advanced 3D for sponsoring this episode.Support the show

What if cancer isn't just a disease… but a split personality inside your own body? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Michael Levin (Professor of Biology at Tufts University, Director of the Allen Discovery Center) drops paradigm-shattering insights that could redefine medicine, consciousness, intelligence...and what it even means to be human. He explains why he calls cancer “dissociative identity disorder of the body” — a breakdown in the body's bioelectrical network — and how this could open the door to treating cancer without drugs or chemotherapy, why “mind blindness” prevents us from recognizing nonhuman intelligence, and how “human” might be defined in a future of tech implants and biological augmentation. Dr. Levin also breaks down: - What does a body think about before there is a brain? - Can we regrow limbs in our lifetime? - Are we closer than we think to communicating with our organs via an app? - What flatworms reveal about how trauma and memory are imprinted in tissue, and whether we might one day overwrite trauma itself - What nonhuman intelligence could actually look like - How you might play tic-tac-toe with an alien - Real dangers of anthropomorphizing AI Dr. Levin also tackles some of humanity's biggest existential questions: - Are we defining consciousness all wrong? - How can ancient traditions and modern biophysics coexist? - Why compassion may be the most advanced technology we have From developmental biophysics to computer science to cognitive science, this conversation explores how intelligence may be woven into life itself — from cells to organs to entire bodies. If what he's saying is right… Medicine will change. AI debates will change. And our understanding of ourselves will change. You will never look at your body the same way again!

This week, Danielle and Kristine learn how to survive the loss of a body part and Macey Isaacs joins us to share the time she lost her front teeth!
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.

Basil Camu is the author of From Wasteland to Wonder and the co-founder of Leaf & Limb, a North Carolina tree care service founded by Basil's father in 1997. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Basil recounts how what began as a traditional blue collar tree removal business transformed- through hard work, research, and dedication- into a tree care and consulting enterprise with a mission to preserve, plant, and promote trees in a way that maximizes positive benefits for members of all ecosystems. By implementing ways to work with natural systems instead of against them, Leaf & Limb has developed a blueprint to increase the health and population of trees, and thus help address pressing environmental issues and begin restoring the balance of life on Earth.
