Join Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, as he chats with Jennifer Richards, MA, CPO, about her research on cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) treatment for plagiocephaly. Affecting one in five infants, the incidence of plagiocephaly has risen significantly, with CROs being a common treatment. They dive into the success rates based on age and severity at treatment onset, noting severity as the more critical factor. The discussion also highlights data collection challenges and the need for further clinical research despite funding obstacles.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, talks with Dr. Norbert Kang and Mr. Alex Woolard, both plastic surgeons at the Royal Free Hospital in London. They explore the use of targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) in upper-limb amputees, focusing on its impact on pain management and quality of life. While TMR has shown to provide lasting pain relief, they discuss its limited effect on improving functional outcomes for patients.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, sits down with Dr. Linda Resnik, a physical therapist and researcher at the Providence VA Medical Center and professor at Brown University. They delve into Dr. Resnik's recent study on the prevalence and predictors of unmet needs for upper-limb prostheses. The discussion covers the challenges faced by individuals with limb loss, the factors influencing prosthesis use, and the importance of addressing these unmet needs to improve the quality of life and functionality for those with upper limb amputations. Dr. Resnik also highlights the significance of reevaluating prosthesis options in light of technological advancements. Tune in to gain valuable insights into prosthetic rehabilitation and the ongoing efforts to enhance care for individuals with limb differences.
