High Hopes for Brain-Injury Rehabilitation
Each year in California there are more than 20,000 brain-injuries and 16,000 strokes. High Hopes is a brain-injury rehabilitation program in Tustin helping people who have suffered brain-injuries, strokes, or who have Multiple Sclerosis, receive appropriate treatment and recover their lives. Mark Desmond, Director of High Hopes, discusses the physical, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of rehab, and how robotics has helped advance treatments. Saxophonist Eric Marienthal also joins the show to share about the Eric Marienthal & Friends Concert that helps raise awareness and funds to assist in the rehabilitation costs for brain injury treatment. Hosted by Karyn Bower and Nicholas Reese.
