Innovating Community Fitness: Building Bridges from Research to Post-Stroke Rehab

Episode 67

Episode 67 - Innovating Community Fitness: Building Bridges from Research to Post-Stroke Rehab.

New National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines in the UK recommend stroke patients receive at least three hours of rehabilitation a day, five days a week. This is a dramatic increase from previous guidance of 45 minutes a day. Currently there are big gaps in service when it comes to supporting people with stroke after they’re discharged from care not only in the UK but worldwide. Often, survivors have nowhere to go to exercise and accessing a conventional gym for most is challenging and for some it’s impossible.

With our continued theme of exercise as the best medicine for stroke recovery, in this episode we are diving deeper into this topic to find solutions for expanding the reach of rehab into the community and highlighting champions innovating for more solutions to make these new rehab guidelines a reality.

Meet Our Guest: Dr Rachel Young PhD MSc, BSc

Rachel is a senior research fellow at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre in Sheffield Hallam University. She is a chartered physiotherapist with expertise in neurological rehabilitation and exercise prescription. Rachel's research interests include the development and evaluation of rehabilitation technologies and accessible exercise solutions.

In our discussion Dr. Young reminded us that the NICE guidelines of three hours are not the first to recommend extensive rehabilitation. The National Clinical Guidance for Stroke launched in March 2023 actually advised six hours of activity a day, which may include activities of daily living, communication and exercise.

We dove into why these guidelines sent a ripple through the stroke community, including how providers don’t have the workforce to meet these new recommendations. We also discussed her research and how she believes technology, in the form of accessible exercise equipment, apps and wearables has to be part of the solution if we’re to have any hope of meeting the guidelines.

Episode 64 - Achieving Balance (Part 1): Food as Medicine to Fuel Stroke Recovery

A comprehensive stroke recovery plan of care often includes a combination of physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with other medical interventions. These therapies are vital for regaining physical and cognitive abilities. Often overlooked, however, in the stroke recovery pathway is the quality of a stroke survivor’s diet. Quality nutrition offers the potential to improve stroke outcomes by promoting healing, providing high performance fuels to support the physical demands of rehabilitation as well as offering key nutrients for boosting brain resilience to reduce the risk of future strokes.

We needed to look no further for an expert than our show co-host David Dansereau for today’s episode on using food as medicine in stroke prevention and recovery. When David had a stroke at 39 from a congenital heart defect, he realized the challenges a stroke presented and took action by setting smart goals to optimize his diet in support of his long term rehabilitation plans. He ultimately achieved his goal of returning to running and completed the Boston Marathon.In this episode

David shares his nutrition playbook and breaks down 3 key nutrition principles (his 3F’s) that can provide a solid foundation for improving your nutrition IQ and complimenting your healing journey along with the help of your own health care team. About David DansereauDavid has a clinical background as an experienced physical therapist as well as a former registered dietitian and nutritionist in private practice. On this episode David will be sharing what inspired him to study nutrition and later write a best selling book (Body in Balance) and how these early experiences in healthcare, corporate wellness and behavioral health research have shaped his career today.David’s mission is to promote the use of nutrition and therapeutic exercise as the best medicine for extending health span and managing all chronic conditions.
This proactive mindset paved the way for David to build several businesses, including private practices and mobile rehab offerings. Most recently, as the founder of both PTC Physical Therapy and SmartMovesPT his continues his focus on patient engagement and using technology to enhance access to care and improve outcomes.

Chime In, Send Us a Text Message!

Episode 62: Justin Oakley, MSOTR/L CAPS of Oakley Home AccessPreparing your home for all of life's changes after a stroke can be overwhelming. In fact, the word discharge can be terrifying for both survivor, caregiver and treating therapists alike to provide access to continued safe mobility solutions. We’ve heard many times from past expert rehabilitation guests on our podcast that they predict ‘the future of stroke recovery will be in the home’. But that home must be safe and accessible first. So, how do we make it the best place to be? For the stroke survivor, this is not a nicety, it is a necessity and adapting for safe home access is one of the largest unseen issues in stroke recovery. In today’s episode we wanted to dive into this topic and offer solutions with a home access expert.[Did you know? Currently, according to AARP statistics, less than 5% of all US homes have features needed to support a safe and accessible (aging in place) home even though up to 90% of older adults surveyed want to stay in their home as long as possible.] About Our Episode 62 GuestWe welcomed our expert guest Justin Oakley, OTR/L Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at Oakley Home Access. Justin is a registered & licensed Occupational Therapist as well an Executive Certified Home Modification Provider. Oakley Home Access can assist a wide array of community members ranging from stroke survivors needing home access accommodations, children with special needs to the elderly striving to age-in-place. Oakley Home Access will provide free home safety assessments and full service home modifications, ranging from removing area rugs to providing a variety of adaptive equipment to assist mobility throughout the home, including complete remodels. Justin and his co-founding partner Mike Vieira (experienced contractor + CAPS certified) provide dual expertise (clinical + construction) that is unmatched and provides a unique educational piece that has become their secret sauce to success and foundation for plans for expansion. In this episode we explore how their education, empathy and energy are the key ingredients that keep their team’s core values aligned to help customers realize their goals for continued safe access and independence in their home.

Episode 36 Interview with Kyle Zebley, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the American Telemedicine Association and Executive Director, ATA Action

In this episode you’ll be hearing from the first policy expert we’ve had on our show and we don’t think we could have brought you a better one!

It is important for us to emphasize this interview would not have been possible without the great coordinated cooperation from Gina Cella Senior VP of Strategic Connections and Ann Mond Johnson CEO of the ATA, so we want to thank them both here as well along with all the great work their team does every day to support this common mission of advancing telehealth.

We’ve learned lessons through the pandemic of telehealth’s ability to bridge care gaps, improve care coordination and fill healthcare workforce shortages. With all that now known, virtual care delivery could still be in danger of heading over the “telehealth cliff” without permanent policy changes and action as Kyle explains it well in this episode.

Mike and I both believe strongly the impact of policy changes will be a critical piece in shaping future delivery of rehabilitative stroke care and recovery into the home with improved outcomes. So let’s dive in, listen and learn more from Kyle!

Meet Our Guest

Kyle Zebley is Vice President of Public Policy at the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) and Executive Director of ATA Action.

For those not familiar with the American Telemedicine Association…The ATA is the only organization completely focused on advancing telehealth, and is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and appropriate care when and where they need it, enabling a wider reach and more access to care for more people.

Kyle’s BioSketch

Previously, Kyle was the Chief of Staff in the Office of Global Affairs (OGA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). He collaborated with senior leadership from HHS, the White House and other cabinet departments to develop, advise, and promote U.S. global health policy, including in such policy areas as drug pricing, medical devices, global health security, and non-communicable diseases.
