<description><![CDATA[Sargent experts across disciplines discuss how recent technology advances are reshaping rehabilitation. Hosted by Professor Swathi Kiran from the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences, this panel discussion includes topics such as implications for brain plasticity, health care costs, patient reported outcomes, and the future of rehabilitation.

Specific topics include:
â€¢ Using computational modeling to better understand how the damaged brain functions and how it recovers. Also, how brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) help restore speech communication to individuals suffering from severe brain damage (Professor Frank Guenther, Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences)
â€¢ How recent advances in EMG and robotics are helping patients with stroke and other movement disorders (Kevin Berner, Department of Occupational Therapy)
â€¢ A software application that allows patients receiving physical therapy to perform exercises in their homes while clinicians can remotely monitor their progress (Terry Ellis, Department of Physical Therapy & Athletic Training)

Hosted by Boston University College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College, this presentation was a part of an online, virtual conference, â€œHealth Mattersâ€, which took place on September 17, 2015.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The research in Parkinson disease, across both animal models and in humans, reveals the importance of exercise for the treatment of this condition.  Exercise has been shown to reduce disability in Parkinson disease and may have a mitigating effect on disease progression.   
The Sargent College Center for Neurorehabilitation (CNR) examined the natural history of walking behavior at the â€œmacro levelâ€ in persons with PD and found at 12% reduction in the amount of walking that occurred over a 1-year period.  They also found that walking related behaviors seemed to decline faster in comparison to other areas.  In response, they developed an exercise program (i.e., strengthening exercises plus walking) focusing on improving walking behavior in order to reduce disability. They use mobile health technology in the form of an exercise application (â€œappâ€) so persons with Parkinson can perform the exercises, on a tablet or smartphone, in the convenience of their own homes.  Users also wear an activity tracker to monitor steps walked over the course of a day, week, month or year â€“ this data syncs with the â€œappâ€.  CNRâ€™s team of physical therapists can monitor the data via the â€œappâ€ and can remotely change the walking goals or the strengthening exercises to make the program more or less challenging or to increase variety to improve motivation.  Now persons with PD can access a goal-oriented, individualized exercise program and stay connected to a physical therapist to help foster engagement in exercise over the long-term.  
Presented by Terry Ellis.

<description><![CDATA[Imagine if music could help people with Parkinson’s walk better — safer, faster, longer, and more freely. At Boston University’s Center for Neurorehabilitation, professor Terry Ellis is investigating the benefits of a wearable system that uses foot sensors to track walking and trigger rhythmic music in real time. Ellis' hope is that this kind of accessible, home-based therapy could transform mobility and independence for millions living with Parkinson’s.]]></description>
