Ep. 91. Recovery from INJURY

On BioTrek Pierre is often improving our electrical systems but in this video electrical stimulation is being used on him! Functional electrical stimulation is a technique to help build muscle strength after injury. Last October 2020 Pierre dislocated his shoulder which caused a nerve injury. Despite intense rehabilitation, he is still missing some strength of his left arm. Our friend on board for a week, Dr. Sukhvinder Kalsi-Ryan shows Pierre how to use electrical stimulation to build muscle strength. WE MAKE OUR VIDEOS PUBLIC TO SHARE OUR ENJOYMENT OF OUR OCEAN WORLD.

About 1 in 500 of us have a silent CCM lesion in our brain. CCMs may unexpectedly bleed and may cause stroke or seizure. People with the genetic form of the disease have multiple lesions. Your contribution will help find a cure. Lisa has dedicated her career to finding cures for neurological diseases and would greatly appreciate any level of support from our BioTrek-sailing audience. 0:00 Intro 0:13 Rodney Bay rainbow 1:22 Non-invasive neuromodulation 1:47 Brachial plexus injury 2:20 The injury 3:55 Identifying the weak muscle 4:38 Function electrical stimulation (FES) 6:50 Peripheral nerve stimulation 8:52 Sunset and rainbow 9:31 What Sukh learned about cruising on a boat MUSIC BY EPIDEMIC SOUND A Bitter Love by Sven Karlsson (Intro music) Be Free with me (Instrumental version) by Siine Memories of Sarah by Daniel Kaede Lost in Atlantis by Smartface (end music)
