Spinal Cord Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group (SCI-ISIG) >>

• Spinal Cord Epidural Stimulation and Recovery of Motor Function After Chronic, Complete Spinal Cord Injury: Details Matter!
  with Enrico Rejc, PhD
  This presentation highlights the latest breakthroughs in using epidural stimulation in facilitating recovery of motor control in persons with SCI. Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to discuss the mechanisms of spinal cord epidural stimulation for motor recovery, and understand the importance of stimulation parameters and activity-based training characteristics. This webinar is brought to you by the SCI-ISIG Functional Electrical Stimulation & Technology Task Force.
• Breast Health Access and Women With Disabilities with Guest Speaker, Roberta Carlin, MS, JD
  AAHD’s work on breast health and women with disabilities will be discussed, focusing on over 10 years of AAHD’s work in this area to include: (1) educating health care providers, (2) mammography accessibility, and (3) self advocacy for women with disabilities.
  
• Implementation of Pressure Injury Prevention Best Practices with Guest Speakers, Carol Scovil, PhD and Dalton Wolfe, PhD
  Knowledge implementation is an important step to incorporate throughout the research process. This webinar will provide learners an opportunity to engage in an interactive presntation from authors of “Scovil et al. Implementation of Pressure Injury Prevention Best Practices Across 6 Canadian Rehabilitation Sites: Results From the Spinal Cord Injury Knowledge Mobilization Network. Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation. 2019 Feb 1;100(2):327-35,” on practical strategies of using active implementation frameworks to implement best practices in rehabilitation setting. Speakers will discuss barriers and facilitators to successful implementations. Indicators for evaluating successful implementation will be presented.
• Integrated Knowledge Translation and Consumer Engagement: A Primer for Rehabilitation Researchers and Clinicians with Guest Speaker, John Chernesky
  Rehabilitation researchers are increasingly encouraged to involve stakeholders in their efforts, to enhance the validity and usefulness of their work.  Too often, however, stakeholders are involved at only a superficial level, providing little opportunity for them to truly influence the quality and relevance of the research in which they are involved.  This presentation will enhance learners’ understanding of the concept and practical application of Integrated Knowledge Translation and Consumer Engagement. The work of the Praxis Spinal Cord Institute (formerly, Rick Hansen Institute)’s Consumer Program will be discussed, as well as the role and activities of the North American Spinal Cord Injury Consortium.  Learners will also be connected with resources they can use for guidance when including people with lived experience of SCI in their work. While the focus of this presentation will be on SCI-related research, the principles described have broad applicability to other disability communities.
• An Overview of Rehabilitation With Powered Exoskeletons for Over Ground Walking Following Spinal Cord Injury with Guest Speakers, Jaynie Yang, PT, PhD and Caitlin Hurd, PT, MSc
  Participants will learn about how exoskeletons can be incorporated into the rehabilitation of people living with SCI.
• Brain-Computer Interface Signaling and Control Webinar with Samuel Clanton, MD, PhD
  Participants will learn about the types of signals that different types of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) record. Dr. Clanton will discuss how neural signals are transformed into machine commands using BCIs and how differences between what is recorded by different BCI interfaces translates into differences in their potential utility.
• Electrical Stimulation From Exercise to Locomotion with Ashraf S. Gorgey, MPT, PhD, FACSM, FACRM

Early Career Networking Group >>

• Dissemination in Action: Communicating Research in a Digital World with Karen Gutzman, MSLS and Patty Smith, MLIS
  Participants will learn how tracking research dissemination and impact has become increasingly important in our digital age. The speakers will provide a solid background on dissemination and demonstrate the practical applications of a variety of tools.
