The field of neurorehabilitation is burgeoning, explained David Putrino, PhD, assistant professor of rehabilitation medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and director of rehabilitation innovation at the Mount Sinai Health System. He breaks down - from active-engagement to neuromodulation and robotics - everything providers should know when working with patients recovering from neurological damage, and research gaps that still need filling. " There's a brave new world of wearables, of motion-capture devices, of force platforms, of things that don't actually cost all that much money, but can quantify someone's function in a very precise way and actually let us know if we're having an influence on whether or not they're getting better and what their level of function is, and maybe even what level of function they can expect down the track," said Dr. Putrino.
