October is American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Physical Therapy Month, and this year’s focus is on fall prevention—a crucial topic for us at Mission Gait, where our commitment to gait rehabilitation makes fall prevention a top priority. ?? If you have peripheral neuropathy or decreased feeling in your feet that affects how you walk, PTs specializing in balance and gait can help lower your risk of falling. Balance training may even improve position sensation in some people with peripheral neuropathy. If you're interested in the research behind physical therapy for neuropathy, an excellent article is PMID: 2744506. ?? #missiongait #choosept #fallprevention #peripheralneuropathy #physicaltherapy

We had an amazing time at this year’s Birdies for Charity 5k! Thank you to everyone who participated on the Mission Gait team for helping us win FIRST PLACE for having the largest group! ??

We’re proud of our very own Bethany Russell PT, DPT, GRS, for presenting at the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Considerations event! ?? With a mix of experienced physical therapists and eager PT students in attendance, Bethany shared her insights on this prevalent disorder, explaining how evidence-based physical therapy interventions can improve gait, balance, and quality of life for people with peripheral neuropathy. It was an engaging and thoughtful discussion, with attendees asking great questions and sharing their experiences. ?? A huge thank you to APTA Virginia for the honor of presenting and their continued dedication to educating our local PT community. Together, we’re advancing care for those impacted by peripheral neuropathy. ?? #MissionGait #APTA #PeripheralNeuropathy #PTCommunity #GaitTraining #APTAVirginia #PhysicalTherapy #MobilityMatters

Our Prosthetic Training Series on YouTube provides a comprehensive look at amputee gait rehabilitation, covering everything from basic chair transfers to running. When discussing stair navigation, we are often asked how a bilateral amputee should approach it. In this episode of our "You Asked" Series, David Lawrence, MSPT, ATC-ret answers that very question, demonstrating stair navigation techniques for bilateral above-the-knee and below-the-knee amputees. ??
