Human takes on robotic exoskeletons; Introducing the Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure

The April 2021 edition of the Archives of PM&R’s RehabCast features Linda Ehlich-Jones of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab who takes a close look at the realistic side of robotic exoskeleton technology as it exists in 2021 in the clinic and in the world, minus the hype. Then we talk with John Whyte, founding director of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, who presents the work behind developing the Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure (BI-FOM) and what this new measurement tool could mean for tracking ABI recoveries and interventions in the future. #RehabCast is the PM&R podcast for all of rehabilitation medicine: physiatry, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech language pathology, neuropsychology, rehabilitation nursing and more.
