2014 Capital Region Walk to End Alzheimer's

I'm walking to help reclaim the future for millions. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, I'm committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research, care and support. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.

I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's.  For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.

Thank you for joining the movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with you.  

-Brendan Sullivan, PT, CSCS

Multiple Sclerosis & Gait Training Article

I found this great article about MS and Gait training on Lower Extremity Review's website.  The implications for patients with Multiple Sclerosis are significant.  I was glad to see more research is planned to identify who could benefit the most from specific interventions.  Check at the article via the link!
