In the 54th episode of the #RehabCast, our host Dr. Bill Niehaus first meets with Jacob J. Sosnoff PhD and Tobia Zanotto PhD to discuss how a simple treadmill, some sponges, and a low-tech virtual reality system might help change frailty in people with multiple sclerosis (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2024.09.010). Dr. Niehaus then welcomes Jacob T. Urbina BS, future physiatrist, to explore how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Gemini may unintentionally carry biases—biases that could impact the very people we aim to serve in the rehabilitation community (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2024.08.014).

In the 53rd episode of RehabCast, we spotlight two revolutionary approaches that are transforming the world of rehabilitation. First, Kristin Nuckols, an occupational therapist and co-founder of Imago Rehab, takes us on a journey through the creation of a wearable soft robotic glove. This groundbreaking device empowers stroke survivors to regain independence by bringing therapy into their homes. Next, we sit down with Dr. Alberto Esquenazi, an internationally renowned expert in spasticity management, who shares insights from his landmark longitudinal study on botulinum toxin. He explains how precision treatments and patient-centered goals are unlocking new possibilities in functional recovery. From robotics to cutting-edge clinical care, these conversations shine a light on how innovation and collaboration are breaking barriers and reshaping rehabilitation for the better. #RehabCast is the PM&R podcast for all of rehabilitation medicine: physiatry, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech language pathology, neuropsychology, rehabilitation nursing, and more.
