Ep47 Expanding the Behavior Analytic Universe-Behavioral Medicine and Technology with Dr. Brennan Armshaw Atypical Behavior Analyst

    • Cours

Some of our previous guests have talked about applying the science of behavior analysis to health, fitness, and wellness; creating programs for others, or oneself, to build and improve physical fitness. But sometimes, bodies give out and injuries happen. Then what? Can the science behavior analysis be applied to recovery?

Dr. Brennan Armshaw joins us today to discuss how by expanding our perspective on WHAT IS behavior analysis we can begin to change the HOW of the HOW IS behavior analysis applied. Dr. Armshaw will discuss the landscape of behavioral medicine with a particular focus on how behavior analysis in combination with technology (electromyography and apps) can be applied to improve physical therapy outcomes and re-establish muscular responses which may otherwise be undetectable. He will describe how he has approached collaboration with physical therapists, surgeons, and patients to improve physical therapy outcomes for patients recovering from total knee replacement surgery; the techniques and systems he developed along the way and the balance of translational and applied research when taking a bench to bedside approach.



Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the scientist-practitioner model when collaborating with physical therapists and other medical professionals.

2. Recognize the critical variables to approaching and collaborating successfully with other professionals.

3. Discuss considerations when expanding ones applied scope while maintain ethical practice and research competency.

4. Recognize the diversity of the behavior analytic unit.



Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms

- Continuing the discussion from Ep 46 with Julie, understanding the science behind behaivor analytic principles can lead to a better understanding and interpretation of other fields’ and professionals’ research. Listening and then putting that information through the behavior analytic lens can help lead to deeper understanding, more effective collaboration, and successful outcomes overall.

- Understanding the science and spending the time listening to other collaborators leads to an easier translation of language and terms to behavior analytic terminology.

- Learn what you know but more specifically what you don’t know and then go find someone who is an expert in that thing!

- A behavioral unit can be as small as a muscle flex or as large as the production of a product or system. One important consideration- is the unit observable, measurable? Then maybe we can start to play.
