The Roanoker - February 2014 - 71

"We're going to keep track of who is sick,
how we treat them, and how they respond to
treatment better than ever...The result will be
an understanding of how to treat the whole
population," says charter class student Brown.
"The steady advance of knowledge about the
human genome and the systematic search for
the drugs to treat specific genetic conditions
is leading us to the most personalized medicine in history. These are exciting times."
Fellow charter class student Lindsay Makara thinks "medicine is headed in a more
quality-based direction. Soon physicians
will be held to the standard of the quality,
not the quantity of the care they provide. I
think this promotes continual learning and
critical thinking on the part of every physician throughout their career."
Both students are enthusiastic about Dr.
Sharon Ramey and Dr. Stephanie DeLuca's
success therapies that teach the brain to "rewire" itself and improve quality of life for
children with disabilities.
"The intervention seems affordable and if
successful, very easy to translate into a standard of care," says Makara.
Brown had an aunt who suffered from cerebral palsy due to birth asphyxia and wonders, "how different life would have been for
her if we had known then what we know
now."
The ACQUIREc approach to pediatric
constraint-induced movement therapy (PCIMT) involves placing a constraint on the
child's "better arm and hand." Then the child
is engaged in a set of shaping activities for the
weaker (impaired) arm and hand. One child
cried every time he saw DeLuca: "I was the
one who always put the cast on his stronger
arm, and that always broke my heart. Now,
though, that same child smiles when he sees
me and runs and puts both arms around my
neck..."
These dramatic improvement examples
come from everyday confidence and independence. Picture the toddler learning
to crawl or even sit up independently, the
young man learning to open a bag of chips,
carry a school tray, or tie his shoes or the
teenager learning to apply her makeup using
two hands.
The VTCRI Neuromotor Research Clinic,
already considered a research leader in highintensity therapies, seek partnerships with
practitioners locally and worldwide.
