Some of our previous guests have talked about applying the science of behavior analysis to health, fitness, and wellness; creating programs for others, or oneself, to build and improve physical fitness. But sometimes, bodies give out and injuries happen. Then what? Can the science behavior analysis be applied to recovery?
Dr. Brennan Armshaw joins us today to discuss how by expanding our perspective on WHAT IS behavior analysis we can begin to change the HOW of the HOW IS behavior analysis applied. Dr. Armshaw will discuss the landscape of behavioral medicine with a particular focus on how behavior analysis in combination with technology (electromyography and apps) can be applied to improve physical therapy outcomes and re-establish muscular responses which may otherwise be undetectable. He will describe how he has approached collaboration with physical therapists, surgeons, and patients to improve physical therapy outcomes for patients recovering from total knee replacement surgery; the techniques and systems he developed along the way and the balance of translational and applied research when taking a bench to bedside approach.
