In this episode, guest host Dr Kimberley Monden explores the world of SCI clinical research and rehabilitation medicine, exploring patient perspectives and life before, during, and after participation in SCI clinical research with Dr Trumbower, an associate professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School and Director of the spinal cord injury division at Spalding Rehab Hospital, and the director of the Inspire Lab at Spaulding Rehab Hospital.

We also have a participant, Arthur Holt, who will share his experience with Dr Trumbower of the ANEUVO Exostim trial that took place at Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital.

Listen as Arthur shares his first-hand account of his journey at Spaulding Rehab Hospital, where he reclaimed vital hand functions, as well as the importance of having the right mindset when it comes to rehabilitation.

Dr. Trumbower concludes their conversation by sharing how much potential this study, and others like it, have for the spinal cord injury community whilst also emphasising how much more work there is to be done.

We hope you enjoy this enlightening episode of the podcast!
