Another very brief episode before we jump back to long-form in future episodes. This episode is to briefly explain what graded assistance robotics is, and how it is used in the field of neurorehab. Also connecting graded assistance to how it relates to my journey with my recent career change. As always, thank you for listening!

1-minute update: I have made a career change, but still in the neurorehab space. Excited to continue to discuss best practice with you all!

You all are in for some great content with this episode. Joining the podcast is Isha Vora, OT & PhD candidate at MGH Institute of Health Professions, along with Heidi Brewer, regional therapy development manager at Vivistim. On this episode we discuss the science of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), while paired with therapy (Paired VNS). The podcast guests discuss the excellent research behind this technology, how it is integrated in to practice, and what the future holds for Paired VNS!

Liam Carroll is back for a deeper dive discussion in to Vestibular rehab. This time he is joined by his friend and colleague, Josh Campanella. They are both practicing at the Gloria Drummond Rehabilitation Institute in Boca Raton, FL, as part of the Baptist Health system. You will enjoy their discussion of their passion for vestibular research, as well as their approach to evaluation, technology, and VRT in this patient population.

Han Nguyen, PT, DPT, is back with us, and this time with NCS behind her name! She joins the podcast for Part 2 of a discussion on High Intensity Gait Training (HIGT). This time with focus on her recent case study, acute vs. chronic HIGT research, and error augmentation.
