Episode 33: From the International Progressive MS Alliance Scientific Congress on Rehabilitation & Symptom Management

Today -- and every day this week -- the RealTalk MS podcast is coming to you live from the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Toronto, Canada, where, tomorrow, the International Progressive MS Alliance kicks off its 3rd Scientific Congress. The theme of the event is Progressive MS -- Making a Difference Through Rehabilitation & Symptom Management, and on today's podcast episode, we're previewing some of what the attendees will be seeing and hearing.      We're also talking about several MS rehabilitation research studies that examine mindfulness meditation and well-being, virtual reality as an effective tool for gait & balance rehabilitation, and how a history of depression might stop people with MS from doing physical exercise. We'll also tell you how you can use social media to share your ideas about next-generation mobility devices.   We have a lot to talk about. And we're talking about it live from the International Progressive MS Alliance Scientific Congress on MS Rehabilitation & Symptom Management, at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto, Canada.   ____________ FDA Files Suit Against 2 Stem Cell Clinics  1:03 Mindfulness Meditation Creates Short-Term Well Being for People Living with MS  3:32 Virtual Reality as Effective as Traditional Rehabilitation for Gait & Balance in MS  5:03 Depression as a Barrier to Physical Exercise for People Living with MS  6:55 #MyMobilityUnlimited Is the Hashtag that Lets You Help Design the Future of Mobility Devices  9:34 International Progressive MS Alliance Scientific Congress: Progressive MS -- Making a Difference Through Rehabilitation & Symptom Management  11:24 ___________ LINKSIf your podcast app doesn't show these links, you'll find them in the show notes at www.RealTalkMS.com Mindfulness Meditation Improves Short-Term Well Being in MS Virtual Reality Effective in Treating Gait & Balance Impairment in MS Lower Aerobic Endurance Linked to History of Depression in MS #MyMobilityUnlimited Seeks Ideas From Wheelchair Users The International Progressive MS Alliance The RealTalk MS Podcast Alexa Skill Give RealTalk MS a Rating & Review ___________ Follow RealTalk MS on Twitter, @RealTalkMS_jon, and subscribe to our newsletter at our website, RealTalkMS.com.
