In this SnapCast we recapped a great day out at the Trillium Spring 5K running alongside our friends from Tufts Medical Center Stroke and Young Adults (SAYA) program and past guest Jenna Muri-Rosenthal from Fit to Function Recovery.
We’re excited to continue our partnership with Vivistim as part of a Know Stroke Podcast spotlight series for May!
Last episode we spoke with Teresa Jacobson Kimberley, PT, PhD, FAPTA she is the Director of the Rehabilitation Science PhD Program School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences MGH Institute of Health Professionals. She is also the Director if their Brain Recovery Lab. She walked us through the science behind vagus nerve stimulation and her research findings with the Vivistim technology.
Dropping next is an interview with Tim Blinten, a young stroke survivor from Massachusetts who will speak to his real world experience with Vivistim.
Thank you again Vivistim for your support in this stroke awareness month spotlight series!
Disclaimer: “The MicroTransponder® Vivistim® Paired VNS™ System is intended to be used to stimulate the vagus nerve during rehabilitation therapy in order to reduce upper extremity motor deficits and improve motor function in chronic ischemic stroke patients with moderate to severe arm impairment. Do not use if you have had a bilateral or left cervical vagotomy. Risks may include, but are not limited to pain after surgery, hoarseness, bruising, swelling, coughing and throat irritation. While not observed in the Vivistim studies, infection leading to explant is a risk associated with any device surgery. For full safety information, please see www.vivistim.com/safety. Individual results may vary.”
Regulatory note: In 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paired vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for patients with moderate-to-severe upper extremity motor impairments following chronic ischemic stroke.
