OVERVIEW Alyssa: Finding that purpose, that meaning as to why… And I think once together we figure out why it's almost motivation to better that aspect… Tracy: So many things have changed now that they've had their neurological event.. Meet the new routine as opposed to going back the old way because the old way isn't working any longer.. Increasing their awareness of what their body needs now could be very beneficial… Debra: And their [caregivers] lives are different now too… we can't just keep adding things onto a caregiver but making something more meaningful.. And so when is everyone functioning their best Sarah: The whole chemical makeup of the brain is changing constantly.. What is actually happening and there are a few different reasons why post stroke fatigue is happening… EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified: Post-Stroke Fatigue, with occupational therapist and educator Tracy Bentley-Root, and occupational therapy students Alyssa Brockmann and Sarah Battaglia, we talked about: Continuation of journaling to determine patterns contributing to fatigue. Bringing a diary to an occupational therapist or a practitioner to identify triggers and develop a treatment plan to compensate or design a body map to enhance functioning. Introduce new routines, as opposed to old routines as after a neurological event, the past remains in the past and a new beginning is present. Discussion on caregiver responsibility and adapting to new roles and routines. Energy conservation and other interventions are discussed throughout the podcast to target survivors, caregivers, practitioners, researchers, and students. Fatigue is subjective and perceivable, and the effort used to produce movement and involuntary behaviors is seemingly more difficult due to the high threshold of neuron excitability. Sarah addresses the why and how related to post-stroke fatigue from a neurological level and elaborates on how the brain is constantly changing before, during and after a stroke takes place. Research surrounding the excitability of neurons has been emerging and states after a stroke the neurons within the brain have to work much harder to fire. This not only is hard work and utilizes a high amount of energy for the body, but the brain also is working double time to process the receiving input to produce movement, thoughts, and unconscious bodily functions. Summary: The aspect of bringing awareness to how one is feeling and collaboratively developing a treatment plan that includes the survivor and caregiver can be pertinent to recovery. Understanding the why and how from a neurological level may assist in awareness.

What Works II DEB: I wanted to talk about Marijuana PETE: Well. Who doesn't? DEB: Exactly! PETE: You live in New York man, you can do anything you want! Ohio they'll string you up but yeah...so what about pot? DEB: Well first of all I learned that it doesn't cause stroke the way cigarettes do....cigarette smoking...it's really good for treating other effects beyond the spasticity and things like that. It's more like anxiety, anger, sadness, frustration, hopelessness, fear, depression types of feelings which I think is really important because if people are feeling those negative types of emotions then it's harder to participate in your rehabilitation. PETE: I've done some talks in Colorado recently and you know there's often therapists from every different kind of facility and I'm like, hey does anybody here um work in skilled nursing....and yeah, yeah they do... so um, are they allowed to smoke pot, I mean like you know, these are people they're adults... can they smoke pot? They go, yeah, yeah, they can smoke pot. I go, how does that affect rehab? Well they don't want to go. They just say no... DEB: They're too chill? PETE: They say no I'm not going anywhere. That's the downside. EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified, Pete and Deb talk about interventions that do work. In part II we covered: Subconscious mind and stroke recovery Dysarthria Resistance to new ideas, working through it and moving into acceptance The role of research to help us leave our comfort zones Combining interventions to drive neuroplasticity, create home programs and the importance of the therapist/client relationship Letting go of the old you as a means of evolving and progressing through recovery E-stim, functional e-stim and functional improvements along with how to uncomplicate it so therapists use it more Small group of interventions that work and often work better when combined together Acupuncture, acupressure and dry needling along with muscle vibration in stroke recovery Task specific training, the LEAPS Trial, Modified Constraint Induced Therapy, gait and ambulation Mind-Body interventions and Hippo Therapy can improve balance Brain-Computer Interface to improve UE function following stroke Sensory brain areas are neuroplastic and re-training improves joint position sense, light touch, 2-point discrimination, and better Berg Balance scores Physical activity as a cognitive intervention for stroke recovery Marijuana to reduce neurotoxicity and pain as well as decrease depressive and anxiety symptoms You'll hear more clinical reasoning in action in this second episode of what works as Pete and Deb talk about some commonly used interventions and a few that are less common and what the research says.

This week we're taking a break from our normal episodes to talk about something extremely important. The Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the worst nights in American history. The residents of Greenwood were thriving and successful and that was brutally taken away from them. This story is almost never taught in schools,  even in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This weekend is also Juneteenth. In between recording this and today, the Senate unanimously voted to make Juneteenth a national holiday. This is HUGE!! We still have a lot more work to do.

Research for Recovery OVERVIEW: “So here's a little fun fact: In a lot of these articles the contact information for the researchers is made available. And I have been known to reach out to researchers over the course of my career and they do respond to me and oftentimes they're very happy—very happy—to share their information and some of their PowerPoint slides and stuff that will help you in your practice. It goes back to what you were saying in the beginning. Researchers want us using their information.”  EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified gets into research for recovery. We talk about research in terms that everybody can understand. In this episode we talk about: What to look for when starting off on a research path Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses as a good sign that your topic is well investigated The history about how to discern evidence-based practice – good for clinicians who engage in patient-driven care as well as survivors and caregivers for assessing the care received Reasons to be evidence-based...because it's fun and satisfies one's rebellious nature? – Why, YES! Detailed information to guide researchers. NOTE: anyone who wants to know about the evidence is a researcher – survivors, caregivers, students and clinicians... Where to start to your research journey More... To help offset fears and symptoms of research, Pete and Deb discuss their personal investigative styles that make research fun for them! Neither one experiences migraines or nausea whenever engaging in this exciting aspect of their work and don't think you should either...Pete goes into history around evidence-based medicine and speaks from his research background while Deb talks from her clinical and teaching experiences. We hope you find great value in both the conversation and the show notes. HINT: There's more in the notes than we talked about during our time together. Pete and Deb agree that applying evidence to practice is essential for optimal recovery outcomes following stroke and TBI. We understand that knowing where, how and why can be challenging and cause procrastination, which is the reason for covering this much needed topic. We hope this RESEARCH FOR RECOVERY episode helps steer you in a right direction as you take the next step, whatever the reason for investigating stroke and TBI recovery. As always, we want to hear your top takeaways! LINKS TO ARTICLES, BOOKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Evidence Pyramid: There are many available online.

How Repetition Rules Recovery OVERVIEW: "What we all want at the end of the day is better quality, fluid, coordinated movement. But sometimes we don't get there. I would suggest to therapists: Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. We're not trying to make them perfect, we're just trying to get them better. And better is good. So sometimes the beauty is not in the beauty but in the ugliness of the movement. Let it be ugly. Let it be sweaty. Look— if you don't think that this has value, here's what you need to do: Go to a music store and get yourself a viola, and let me know how that doesn't sound like a dozen doing cats for the next six months. ‘Cause it's gonna! Take up golf! It's gonna be— it's not supposed to be beautiful. It's supposed to be ugly. You got to enjoy the stuff." EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified explains the importance of repetition for regaining movement. We talk about: Repetition and where it fits in the trifecta of brain rules What getting better means The number of repetitions required for a person to get better Variables that impact motor recovery, including survivors age, area and size of infarct, medication use, survivor motivation and movement intricacies Survivor and Clinician perceptions on intensity Importance of leadership in supporting new protocol and program development Pete and Deb discuss the real-world motor and physiological effects of stroke and how thoughts impact behaviors. Pete explains research that details the challenges around determining a specific number of repetitions survivors need to perform to get better. He stresses the importance of incorporating meaning into interventions. We found great research that looks at survivor and therapist perceptions around intensity that should help everyone feel more comfortable and confident in developing rehab programs with appropriate intensity levels that facilitate functional change.  As always, we want to hear your top takeaways! LINKS TO ARTICLES, BOOKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: How many repetitions does it take to drive brain changes and movement changes in folks with brain injury/ stroke? Carey et al., subjects with impaired grasp-and-release 1,200 total reps of a finger-tracking exercise and demonstrated significant cortical reorganization and functional improvement compared with control subjects. This study showed that there were similar outcomes under three dosages of repetitive practice... There were four groups: Group A (the control) received 3 hours of traditional therapy consisting of passive movement, therapeutic positioning, and weight bearing on the affected limb. Throughout study the score increased ~3 points for the Fugl-Meyer. Group B: Modified constraint induced therapy consisting of 3 hours of shaping practice per day, and a constraint on 90% of all waking hours. Throughout study the score increased ~17 points for the Fugl-Meyer. Group C: 300: repetitions per day, 5 days per week, increases across all outcomes (FM, MAL, WMFT, etc.) started at 2 weeks and the trajectory continued throughout the study. Throughout study the score increased ~17 points for the Fugl-Meyer. Group D: Same as Group C, but double the number of repetitions. Throughout study the score increased ~19 points for the Fugl-Meyer.

OVERVIEW: "Carr and Shephard are two Aussie physical therapists. They were the first to dovetail modern motor learning with rehab which was a sea change from the neurofacilitation crowd. Janet Carr, one of them, passed away in 2014. But they wrote this great book, I think it's called, “Stroke Rehabilitation.” I think that's what it's called. I wrote a review on Amazon, you can read it, it's just glowing because I just, I adore this book...But they make it very, very clear...There's four situations in which you're most likely to fall. And this is especially for people with brain injury, but also for anybody. Starting to walk, so right when you start the acceleration of walking; when you stop walking...you know...can you come to a full stop and not lose your balance? Turning – a whole bunch of problems with turning because you know, you have to shift your gaze constantly, you have to shift your feet constantly...and then uneven surfaces. So when you're out walking and you're thinking “Wow, I don't want to be afraid of walking, I want to get out and I want to see things and I want to see people and I want to do my life, think about those four situations - When you start walking, when you stop walking, when you're turning and then any sort of uneven surfaces – be really hyper-focused on those four situations." EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is all about not falling...Pete and Deb talk about helping people not to fall. We started and ended with the rabbit hole topic of Deb's anthropology degree and bipedalism – super fun part of the conversation! Climbing out of the hole, Pete and Deb then talked about: The relationship of medications to fall and the Paper Bag Test Risk factors for falls in stroke survivors Downward health spiral that can occur if survivors fall What to do if you see someone fall Home safety tips for fall prevention This meaningful conversation gets into the literature, preventing falls, the negative impact of fear of falling, assessments and home safety. We share tips and tricks from the PT and OT perspectives. We hope survivors, caregivers and clinicians all find value in this conversation. As always, we want to hear your top takeaways!

Super Survivor Kathy Spencer On Successful Recovery OVERVIEW: Kathy - Well, when I got in the arm study, I was like ten or eleven months out and my I could barely— I couldn't move my wrist, my hand, or my fingers. All I could do is clench but that was it. And I thought, if I just believe that I would have given up and I wouldn't be recovered today. So, I always tell people— and Pete's book is outstanding on the plasticity of the brain— but doctors don't tend to tell us that. I went around talking to certain groups around here a while back and people were crying, they said, "You know I believed the doctor" and they gave up on their therapy. I said: You are never done unless you quit. Deb - Something that you said caught my attention...what your OT said to you when you were being discharged. Remind me what she said and I want to know how that made you feel because a lot of what we do in occupational therapy has to do with that rapport that we build with people and I'm just curious to know how that made you feel. It sounds like you knew more about yourself than the therapy team. Kathy:  I loved, loved, loved my OT. We laughed every day...because I would laugh at myself. EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is an ear-gripping conversation with Super Survivor Kathy Spencer. She graciously shares her story of having and recovering from an ischemic stroke. We hope you enjoy listening as much we loved being a part of this time with her. Join in the learning as Kathy: Reminds us that recovery never ends Shares strategies that work to improve hand function Describes how to harness the power of the mind for optimal recovery Explains the importance of self-advocacy and what that looks like Kathy shares her lived experience from when the stroke occurred, her rehab journey and beyond. Strategies that worked for her include evidence-based interventions such as repetitive practice, mental imagery/visualization and journaling for self motivation. Kathy learned how perseverance plus patience equals peace, and tells inside details about this puzzling equation. Lastly, she reminds us that while repetition might be boring, recovery is not! This is a must listen for anyone who works with stroke survivors, knows a survivor or is a survivor. As always, we want to hear your top takeaways!

OVERVIEW: “This episode was largely geared towards the survivors at home...once they're at home doing this and some very simple strategies for how to do it and I LOVE the video recording piece. I know some people are shy and afraid to look at themselves on camera but you don't have to show it to anybody...You know...And the people that love you won't care any way. They will be happy to see your progress...” EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is all about ways to measure change along the recovery journey. There are different reasons for measuring from insurance reimbursement to deciding how long a person remains on a skilled therapy program to just wanting to know if what's being done is working. Pete does most of the talking in this episode (and Deb is fine with that – she's an introvert at heart and sometimes, when she's learning, thinking makes her happy).  Keep listening for more great information as we: Explain reasons for taking measurements Discuss the difference between validity and reliability Explain aphasia and dysarthria and ways to measure changes in the motor aspects of speech Talk about the importance of standardizing measurements Review simple ways for survivors to measure change at home, starting with a baseline and maintaining consistency over time. Learn what it means when there's no change in measurements and what to do when that happens. Hint: It's not time to quit! Delve into some interesting history about  Signe Brunnström, and Axl Fugl-Meyer Join us as we start the conversation with reasons for taking measurements. The conversation takes a quick turn as we talk about a simple strategy – using time to establish baseline measurements and progress for walking, while also being mindful of safety. Pete introduces “self selected walking speed” and use of assistive devices and tells us how to be consistent over time. Other activities that can be measured with time include buttoning, zipping and putting a jacket on/taking it off. Quality of movement, fatigue and other factors also need to be taken into consideration when tracking change. It is important to note that it's not time to quit when it looks like there's a plateau as Pete reminds us to think like an athlete or musician when this occurs. We learn about the vast respect Pete has for  Signe Brunnström as he digs deep into history and explains the genius scoring she developed (that was later credited by name to Axl Fugl-Meyer) which has become the gold standard in outcome measures for people who've had stroke.

OVERVIEW: "Antiphase would be right hand forward right hand back, left hand forward left hand back...you get the idea. So, there's a million things that you can do within the...This could be fun! It should be fun! Yeah....Put the “fun” back in function! Exactly! The lower extremity's super easy to do...Here's the thing about the lower extremity – one of the things that messes up in people that have gait problems after a brain injury is the rhythmicity of walking....put in ear plugs one time and walk. It's almost like a shuffle beat (Pete adds sound effects). It has all that beat going on. in. it. And so if you can re-establish the rhythmicity of gait you start to re-establish stride length, kinematics, hip rotation, the amount of knee flexion...it's just something that's not used by clinicians very often and I'm flummoxed as to why. Get a metronome...get it on your phone...use it and see if you can't get people to re-establish their rhythmicity of gait." EPISODE SUMMARY: This third episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is all about bilateral training. We jump right into the massive benefits of this intervention and learn immediately that bilateral training isn't one of the top rehab go-to interventions by PT's and OT's! There's good news for you if you're someone who hasn't used this intervention – you aren't ALONE! Keep listening for more great information as we: Describe bilateral training in depth – including important Google search information that can leave you confused and wondering if you're just getting started with this technique Experience the power of bilateral training with a fun activity Observe what it's like for Deb when she's put on the spot! We're pretty sure it will make some of you feel more at home in your own skin Learn about Bilateral Arm Training with Rhythmic Auditory Cues (BATRAC) and Jill Whithall's research Talk about the Tailwind and how to get one – maybe – FYI...the price is higher than Pete thought Discover good research and rationale supporting the justification of bilateral training (OT's and anyone involved in UE rehab – pay attention – this might be just what you need to enhance your documentation skills) Talk about a common clinical strategy that is NOT appropriate for use in Bilateral Training interventions and why Join us in this engaging and insightful conversation about bilateral training. We encourage listeners to set aside preconditioned notions and beliefs about stroke rehab – this includes letting go of judgment and beliefs about how rehab should be done.  We look at the research around bilateral training and experience first-hand what it feels like – a must for any rehab professional to try. We share important information around Jill Whitall's research with this topic and Pete gives us some real life strategies to try. We're wondering why this intervention isn't used more often in rehab settings. Knowing that it's never too late to change, Deb openly admits lack of clinic use may begin with classroom instruction. She plans to up her intervention instruction game for the fall '21 semester. If you are using bilateral training in the clinic or as a home program, PLEASE share that with us! If you aren't using it and think you might start, we want to hear about that too! Let's start a conversation that improves the rehab and stroke recovery experience.

OVERVIEW: There's another important component to us as humans and that is our level of motivation and building habits for recovery...And I think that's an important role that therapists play in the rehab phase for a person...and really talking with them about it, the survivor if they understand. If they're struggling to understand it's time to bring in the caregivers...where is this person going when they leave our level of care...and talking about the importance of establishing whatever this habit, routine is towards recovery and explaining clearly the benefits of getting in the groove now.   EPISODE SUMMARY: This second episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified, emerged as Pete and Deb realized additional clarifications were warranted. Not surprisingly, more insights come about as the conversation unfolded! In this episode we: Share Pete's clarification's which take us on a deeper dive into differences between diseases affecting the brain & acquired brain injury; differences between hemorrhagic & ischemic strokes. Learn of Pete's discovery that not all published research is necessarily the most recent! Uncover the truth about neuroplasticity in subacute and chronic phases. Are reminded that no 2 brain injuries are alike. Ever. This is because all brains are unique! Consider the importance of motivation & habit and how they are underutilized at the subacute level. Let's remember to include the survivor's loved ones at this early stage for max benefit. Answer the first listener question! Join us as we continue to unpack stroke, brain injury and learned non-use. Pete reminds us there is a difference between acquired brain injuries and other diagnoses such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. He dives into further detail about hemorrhagic strokes and the ways they differ from ischemic strokes, referring to a well-known survivor, Jill Bolte-Taylor's experience. Deb's brain went into overdrive a couple times, bringing the conversation a bit deeper into real life recovery and the importance of building good recovery habits at the subacute stage, including how practitioners are uniquely positioned to help move survivors and caregivers in that direction. Pete also discovered that other researchers attempted to stage recovery phases after he did, bringing to light that researchers can miss really important information (Pete's did the work first, in this case!). Perhaps this is a reminder to always do our best to be thorough while also realizing that with the vastness of the world, not all work is original or copied. Even though no 2 brains are alike multiple people can think similarly! We also answered our first listener question from Ingrid Kanics, OTR/L, FAOTA, President of  ­­­­­Kanics Inclusive Design Services. Ingrid asked for more information about what goes on inside the brain regarding dendritic pruning, the penumbra and neuroplasticity. Thanks for asking, Ingrid! Please share your top takeaways!

OVERVIEW: ...So hyper-acute, acute, subacute and chronic, those are the 4 phases...The way that you tell it's time to start is look for subacute, spontaneous recovery and then, once they plateau, after that you're not waiting for this easy ride of the brain coming back online...It's all neuroplastic change after that. You've got to borrow from some other part of the brain that's still intact and so then it becomes real learning.... EPISODE SUMMARY: In this first, full episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified, Pete and Deb discuss the perplexing phenomenon of Learned Non-Use. This engaging conversation will help you understand: How, when and why learned non-use it occurs Common deficits and rehab approaches that contribute to learned non-use An introduction to interventions and strategies to help thwart and reverse it Join us as we start to unpack this fascinating topic. As you'll soon discover, learned non-use and other concepts that occur in and around stroke or acquired brain injury are inter-relational. As Pete eludes to in the podcast, no 2 strokes or brain injuries are the same. Our engaging conversation is a great foundational episode as we define stroke and brain injury, discuss the 4 phases of stroke, the concept of too much too soon and the sweet spot of the subacute phase. There are some interesting implications for everyone – from those who provide care at any level for survivors, occupational and physical therapy practitioners, to the survivor's and more.

NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified: Intro Episode Peter G. Levine and Debra Battistella discuss the heart and soul of this endeavor and you will learn how quickly they go down a rabbit hole! We discuss our passion for filling in gaps and the single, most important goal of this podcast...To simplify everything around stroke and brain injury so that survivors, caregivers and loved ones, therapists, the medical team and students understand the recovery process better. Better understanding can make for a better recovery experience. We look to the future and share our thoughts on next topics to include such as core concepts around optimal recovery and why applying them is sometimes tough. Debra summed it up when she said, “If we can be the agents of change for simplifying things to enable people to have a good rehab experience, to have good continued recovery, then I think we're doing what we set out to do.” CONNECT WITH US: Questions and Comments about the podcast: NogginsAndNeurons@gmail.com DONATE TO NOGGINS & NEURONS: Donate to Noggins And Neurons and get an Allstar Pete Trading Card https://creativeconceptsot.gumroad.com/l/sblgnl Using your PayPal app: RESOURCES: Information about Pete's blog and book, “Stronger After Stroke: Your Roadmap to Recovery” 3rd edition: Blog: blogspot.com Book: Stronger After Stroke, 3rd edition Deb's OT resources The OT's Guide to Mirror Therapy Tri-Fold Mirror (US address only) Occupational Therapy Intervention: Scavenger Hunt Visual Scanning for Adults REQUEST TO BE A GUEST ON NOGGINS & NEURONS.

In this episode we talk about team coaching and discuss the difference between team coaching and team facilitation. We share some stories about how team coaching can help teams be more effective. Examples that may indicate a team needs coaching include things like, a team being dysfunctional, not getting the results needed or finding that decision making is problematic. Peter M. Senge, the author of The Fifth Discipline says “It is amazing how often you come across teams with an average intelligence of over 120, but the team at a collective intelligence of about 60.” So it's rare that you come across a leadership team that won't benefit from coaching. We discuss why team coaching can be so powerful in shifting the performance of an organisation. It has been said that team coaching is the future, and we reflect on how coaching an entire leadership team – getting them really aligned around their purpose and working effectively together – can help shift an organisation more quickly than coaching individuals separately. We touch on some of the norms that it is regularly productive to work on, such as operating rhythm, decision-making and accountability and some simple exercises that any team can adopt. We also explore how HR might identify the need for and justify the investment for team coaching. We also look at the practicalities of team coaching. One or two coaches? Does the team coach work with the individuals in the team? Is there specific training and accreditation?

While it might sound nice to not have a period, the hormones that cause menstruation affect many aspects of health and can lead to infertility if not addressed. Nicola Rinaldi, PhD has done a lot of research on HA, and experienced it herself. She now spends her time spreading the word about the causes and treatments for HA.

In 2016 she published the book "No Period. Now What?", updated March of 2019 to be more Health At Every Size aligned. This book is a comprehensive resource that includes much of the medical and scientific research that underlies our current understanding of the triggers for amenorrhea, what steps to take for recovery, and treatments to use for recovery and pregnancy as needed. In addition, Dr. Rinaldi performed the largest survey to date of women who likewise experienced amenorrhea, and includes results from the survey answering many of the common questions women have, such as "How long will it take to recover?" "Will I be able to get pregnant?" and "Will I resume cycling after pregnancy?". Finally, the book includes Dr. Rinaldi's own story along with those of hundreds of other women, providing hope and reassurance to women following in their footsteps. Since publishing "No Period.

Those values became the basis for the Detox Market as we began creating an educated community of health and beauty experts around offering pure, effective and elegant products.Originally, we planned to be a one hit wonder with a pop-up shop on Abbot Kinney.

So we set up shop in West Hollywood, in Toronto, and here on the magical Internet to support a growing shift in the beauty industry. Beyond all else, we are passionate about educating and serving our community of like-minded and like-hearted individuals who believe in the power of pure products.
