ANPT Stroke Special Interest Group Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy

In this episode, host Marissa Moran, PT, DPT is joined by Ariana Jones, PT, DPT, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Women's Health Physical Therapy, and Gillian McLean, PT, DPT, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy, to discuss pelvic health therapy across the continuum of care for the neurologic population, particularly those following a stroke. In this podcast, you may expand your knowledge on the pelvic floor and normal urination/bowel movements. Listen to learn how pelvic health and neurologic physical therapists can collaborate to deliver the effective and holistic care to patients, as well as education you can provide to patients regarding pelvic health concerns/when to see a pelvic health specialist to promote optimal well-being.







When to Refer to Pelvic PT: Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Screening Questions (as referenced in the podcast interview):







* Are you experiencing any urinary incontinence?* Are you able to delay urination if you have the urge? If so, for how long?* Are you experiencing any constipation?* Are you experiencing any fecal incontinence?* Are you experiencing any pain in the pelvic or abdominal region?







Reference for the screening questions: Siracusa C, Gray A. Pelvic Floor Considerations in COVID-19. J Womens Health Phys Therap. 2020;44(4):144-151. doi:10.1097/JWH.0000000000000180

In this episode, host Marissa Moran, PT, DPT is joined by authors Dr. Anjali Sivaramakrishnan and Dr. Sandeep Subramanian to discuss their recent article published in the Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair titled "A Systematic Review on the Effects of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Neurophysiological, Molecular, and Behavioral Measures in Chronic Stroke". The authors share their research, which is a systematic review aimed at examining the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on neuroplasticity measures. They discuss aerobic priming and considerations for the clinic to promote improved motor learning for individuals with chronic stroke.
