EXPLOSIVE EMOTIONSMEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 172Originally aired Wednesday September 4,2024Featuring Author KALE SUDHOFFABOUT KALE: My name is Kale Sudhoff, and I am currently 19 years old. I am busy attending college to become an Elementary School Teacher and am working as an Enrichment teacher at a local Preschool. I am a typical teenager hanging out with friends, but in my free time I love to write and illustrate children's books. I have written and illustrated three children's books. In the Fall of 2020, when I was a Sophomore in High School, I released my first book, "Danny the Duck Heads South," and in the Spring of 2022, when I was a Junior in High School, I released my second book, "Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping." Throughout my school years, I have seen kids being excluded for being different or having a disability, so I wanted "Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping" to raise awareness for Limb Loss and Limb Difference. My latest book, "Stewart H. Quills and His Explosive Emotions" was released in the Fall of 2023. I am on a mission to inspire children to thrive, regardless of their challenges. I am currently working on my next book, "Born to Stand Out," to raise awareness for Hearing Loss. A portion of every book sale is donated to The Aktion Club, a local organization for people with disabilities. I have recently connected with Allie Gray, Miss Ohio's Teen 2024 and together we have founded Silent Opportunities, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for the hearing loss and deaf community. Our mission is to raise funds for the Ohio School for the Deaf and to award a scholarship to a local high school graduate impacted by hearing loss or disability.Links to watch or listen to all episodes at: https://indiebooksource.com/podcast

STEPHANIE DUDLEY - Amputee Every day more than 500 people in the U.S. lose a limb. By 2050, the Amputee Coalition estimates that the number of people with limb loss will nearly double. The loss of a limb can happen for numerous reasons—everything from an accident to diabetes or even cancer.

In this episode, host Dr. Diana Velazquez-Pimentel interviews Georgia Näder, Vice President of Futuring and Business Transition at Ottobock, a German prosthetics and orthotics company, on the history of the company, their innovation process, and what to look for in the future of Ottobock. --- SHOW NOTES Ottobock was started by Georgia's great grandfather, Otto Bock, in 1919. He began the company after World War I to help people who needed prosthetic limbs after sustaining amputations in war. The company began in Berlin, where they started by making fabrication components. They had to relocate due to social unrest, and their headquarters is now in Duderstadt, Germany. In the 1950s, the company began to work internationally, and opened a subsidiary in Minneapolis. Georgia's father led the business for 30 years, and now it is her turn. After finishing her MBA last year, she took on the position of CEO, and works from France in organizational setup, market research, and prepares the company for generational change. Ottobock has been a world leader in prosthetics since their start. They were the first to make a knee joint with a brake mechanism. They have also created hands that allow grasping, and heavy lifting. More recently, they have created a microprocessor knee, which has software that allows it to locate the knee in space and modify it's position in real time. This allows the user to move more naturally, walk backwards, walk up and down stairs, and climb over objects with ease and safety. Ottobock also makes orthotics and neuroplasticity suits, used by patients with neuromuscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. These suits are personalized to each individual's needs, and need only be worn for one hour per day to provide all day symptom relief. One of Ottobock's most recent innovations came from an idea by one of their engineers in the Research & Development department, who is an amputee himself. It allows the user to change their own prosthetic for different uses within seconds, rather than going to a clinician. This quick change adapter allows people to easily change from their daily use arm or leg to one specialized for sports or other specific activities. Georgia works with the market access team to improve accessibility and reimbursement for patients. She says that Ottobock's future involves developing closer relationships with clinicians, patients and research centers to continue to be a leader in prosthetics and orthotics. --- RESOURCES Ottobock https://www.ottobock.com/en-us/home Instagram: @ottobock

In the near future, birth defects, traumatic injuries, limb loss and perhaps even cancer could be cured through bioelectricity—electrical signals that communicate to our cells how to rebuild themselves. This innovative idea has been tested on flatworms and frogs by biologist Michael Levin, whose research investigates how bioelectricity provides the blueprint for how our bodies are built—and how it could be the future of regenerative medicine. Levin is professor of biology at Tufts University and director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology.

It's been two years, but we're excited to share an update on the National Limb Loss and Preservation Registry. Our guest, Jeffrey Brandt, CPO and member of the Registry's External Collaborative Panel, joins us to discuss how the registry has progressed, goals for the future and how you can get involved.

In today's episode, Adam Miller, president of OPGA, talks with Jeff Brandt, of Brandt Ventures, about the  Limb Loss and Preservation Registry and the progress they've seen in the last year. They discuss the importance of the outcomes program in providing evidence-based care in the O&P profession.

In episode 237, we get curious about prosthetics with the help of Lindsey, a certified prosthetic/orthotic clinician with Hanger Clinic.  We learn what limb loss and limb difference are, how prosthetics help people (and even animals) with limb loss and limb difference, and we learn a bit about the fascinating history of prosthetics.  Visit the Curious Kid Podcast Website - http://www.curiouskidpodcast.com Send Us An E-mail - curiouskidpodcast@gmail.comLeave Us A Voicemail - 856-425-2324Support Us On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/CuriouskidpodcastShop Curious Kid Podcast Merchandise - http://tee.pub/lic/fqXchg3wUVUFollow Us On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/curiouskidpod/Follow Us On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/curiouskidpodcast/Follow Us On Twitter - https://twitter.com/CuriousKidPodCamp No Limits - https://nolimitsfoundation.org

In 2015, Alan Fraser was in the best physical condition of his life.  But then one day after training he went home and realized that something just wasn't right.  Thankfully his (now) husband Tim jumped into action and drove a couple hours to see why Alan had stopped responding when Tim kept checking on him.  Tim found Alan unconscious in his bed, helped revive him and then rushed him to the nearest ER.  They were told later that if he hadn't come in at that time, he wouldn't be with us today.  His condition was so bad that the medical team had to put him in an induced medical coma in order to save his life.  He was "out" for two weeks.  He describes how the induced coma saved his life, but it had other severe consequences that would impact him the rest of his life.His story is real, it's heartfelt and it has meaning and a message for all of us... Listen as he describes the ordeal that he had to endure and he shares what he's learned from this experience.NOTE: This is a re-issue of an earlier episode when my podcast was new.  I'm re-sharing some of the best ones as a Friday feature, since more people will now be able to hear and learn from it.Photo: Copyright Wilkinson/2022Opening and closing music courtesy the very talented Zakhar Valaha via Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- email him at BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

TAA 037: Phantom pain after limb lossPhantom pain is unfortunately something that many amputees know well and experience more or less regularly. And that's why I want to deal a little bit more with this phenomenon today.

TAA 035: What's in my amputee emergency repair kit?I love traveling. Full stop. And while the last two years weren't much in terms of spending time away from the safety and comfort of my home, I used to travel a lot. Often in far flung places, off the beaten track, and far away from any prosthetist. As I never take crutches on oversee trips (and hardly on any of the trips around Europe) my prosthesis is the key to my mobility. If it fails, I am stuffed. So I like to be prepared for a range of situations in which I might have to fix my prosthetic leg or foot or socket myself. At the same time I like to travel light; i.e. everything needs to fit into my backpack.------------For more information, visit The Active Amputee.The music - as always - is Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkaba (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345 Ft: Morusque, Jeris, CSoul, Alex BerozaTo learn more about The Active Amputee, check out the following linksThe Active Amputee BlogThe Active Amputee on InstagramThe Active Amputee on YouTubeThe Active Amputee on TwitterThe Active Amputee on LinkedInThe Active Amputee on Pinterest

TAA 034: Hiking up East Timor's highest mountain to raise funds for people with disabilitiesCombining my passion for the outdoors with a good cause. My work often brings me to countries in the tropics. Sometimes just for a few weeks. Sometimes for years. And while a high-tech knee is a great plus when it comes to being active and mobile, they soon hit their limits when water, sand, mud and rice paddies are involved. A simple backup option is needed. And often this can be done locally. As it was in my case, in Timor Leste back in 2009. Here is my story of how building a new prosthesis led to an amazing fundraising hike, that brought in enough money to support three local charities that support people with disabilities in Timor Leste. ------------For more information, visit The Active Amputee.The music - as always - is Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkaba (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345 Ft: Morusque, Jeris, CSoul, Alex BerozaTo learn more about The Active Amputee, check out the following linksThe Active Amputee BlogThe Active Amputee on InstagramThe Active Amputee on YouTubeThe Active Amputee on TwitterThe Active Amputee on LinkedInThe Active Amputee on Pinterest

TAA 033: Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month Special - Did you know that...April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month. In its eleventh year, this month is a fixed feature in our calendars. A month to celebrate the limb loss and limb difference community, tell the world more about us, further work towards real inclusion and increased participation, and be proud of how far we have come. As Amplitude Magazin put it nicely last year:  "When the Amputee Coalition organized the first Limb Loss Awareness Month in April 2011, Oscar Pistorius hadn't yet made the running blade an instantly recognizable piece of athletic gear.

My goal is to get Roxy and her educational activities into all elementary schools, to start this dialogue early and hopefully mitigate bullying. My call to action is to educate your children EARLY about differences, using inclusive books, to share them in your schools, libraries, and communities, to create a more accepting environment for all kids, especially those living with limb and other differences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marsh-naidoo/message

This is the After Thoughts section for the previous episode. If you missed it, go back!! We discuss Lindsay's story of how she came to have her leg amputated and the freedom and power she has felt since. We also discuss trauma in general, and how all trauma is relative and relevant, and is valid no matter how small you think it is. Thank you Lindsay!Links for Lindsay:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lindsayboudreaucoaching/Website: https://www.lindsayboudreau.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/youramplifiedlifeprogramSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Wtfmupodcast)

Buckle up for this one, its a really amazing, and extraordinary story of courage, will power, and total inspiration. Lindsay had a very rare underlying illness, CMT Disease, that meant she had weakened sensations in her feet, and so she couldn't feel the pain of an infection caused by a nail she had stepped on, one day while walking. Over many weeks, she became very ill, and very weak, and doctors simply couldn't find what was wrong with her until it was too late. Eventually, on realizing the spreading infection could kill her, they took steps to amputate. Lindsay is a beacon of hope for those who are living life after limb loss, and even has a coaching business, helping other limb loss survivors and other medical trauma survivors, by building hope and resilience and practicing mindfulness and wellbeing. Simply amazing!Links for Lindsay:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lindsayboudreaucoaching/Website: https://www.lindsayboudreau.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/youramplifiedlifeprogramSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Wtfmupodcast)

In this episode we take a look at some tips and tricks on how to accept limb loss and limb difference and love ourselves along the way

South Carolina has some of the highest rates of lower extremity limb loss in the country, and many of these cases can be traced back to under-diagnosed or under-treated peripheral vascular or arterial disease, known as PAD. https://muschealth.org/MUSCApps/ProviderDirectory/Genovese-Elizabeth ( Elizabeth Genovese), MD, a vascular surgeon at MUSC Health, aims to change that statistic through innovative new technology that can reduce the risk of amputation for patients with PAD.
