ANPT – Academy for Neurologic Physical Therapy Podcast

In this episode, we highlight one of the winners of our poster awards at CSM 2022. Lindsay Fitchett talks to Chris Burke about her group’s systematic review of wearable sensors assessing balance and mobility in people with PD. They discuss themes from the review including differentiating PIGD and tremor-dominant subtypes, looking at fall risk, assessing movement strategies/transfers, and sensor-based interventions. They also discuss potential future avenues for sensors in rehab.  The Degenerative Disease Special Interest Group is part of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy – www.neuropt.org 

Dr. Carey was the Anne Shumway Cook Lecture Awardee for CSM 2022. His credentials: PT, PhD, FAPTA. In the interview he talks about the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients post-stroke. He also talks about his role as an educator and the impact we can make internationally.

Dr. Shields was the Anne Shumway Cook Lecture Awardee for CSM 2021. His credentials: PT, PhD, FAPTA. In the interview he talks about his research in individuals with spinal cord injury including the management of hyperinsulinemia and neurogenic osteoporosis. He also shares information on epigenetics and the potential impact it could have on the future of physical therapy practice.  To listen to the full interview with Richard Shields click here.

In this episode, we highlight one of the winners of our poster awards at CSM 2022. Jason Longhurst talks to Katy McGraw about his research on gait characteristics in people with PD. His research looks at data from people without freezing, people with freezing on initiation, and people with non-initiation-type freezing. He discusses the role of gait variability in clinical presentation and expands on how this research might inform PT intervention and make interventions more specific to patients with different presentations in the future.  The Degenerative Disease Special Interest Group is part of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy – www.neuropt.org  Guest information:  Jason Longhurst Ph.D., PT, DPT, NCS  Assistant Professor St. Louis University  Related Articles   Ziegler K, Schroeteler F, Ceballos-Baumann AO, Fietzek UM.

Description: In this episode, we highlight the winners of our platform award at CSM 2022. Lori Quinn talks to Chris Burke about her team’s research on long-term PT follow up to promote exercise in people with HD. They discuss findings related to feasibility, participant engagement, and outcomes related to function, disease progress and physical activity during the year-long study. They also discuss innovative models to provide care for and do research with people with HD, and unique challenges in the HD population. Whether you missed it at CSM or are looking for bonus clinical insights beyond the platform, this is definitely worth a listen!  The Degenerative Disease Special Interest Group is part of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy – www.neuropt.org   Guest Information:   Lori Quinn, PT, EdD  Associate Professor of Movement Science & Kinesiology  Teachers College, Columbia University  Related Information/Links   Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA): https://hdsa.org/  European HD Network: http://www.ehdn.org/   ENGAGE-HD workbook: http://www.ehdn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ENGAGE-HD-Physical-Activity-Workbook-v2-UK.pdf   PT/Exercise Resources: http://www.ehdn.org/physiotherapy-wg/#physioresources   Enroll-HD: https://www.enroll-hd.org/   HD PRO-TRIAD: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3990832/ (Carlozzi NE, Victorson D, Sung V, et al.
