From Research to Relief

In this episode, we look at innovative research on shockwave therapy for reducing muscle spasticity after spinal cord injury. We hear from study participant Scott Texidor about his experience with this new treatment. Then, we discuss a study on how outdoor spaces can be made more accessible for people who use wheelchairs. These research efforts aim to improve quality of life and promote inclusion through science and community design.
