PETE: When I first got involved in clinical research, I remember there was this statistic that the lag time between bench and bedside and rehabilitation was 15-20 years and the idea was you know that in oncology you couldn’t have that much lag time because people die of cancer whereas typically nobody dies of bad therapy. Do you think that the translation is still that long? What would you estimate is the, or is it impossible to estimate, it depends on the therapist kind of deal?
TEASELL: It depends on the treatment and it depends on the kind of support that the treatments got. A lot of it’s cultural as well but I would say that 15-20 years...you know from moving into the research into regular clinical practice would be considered to be a very early adoption. That would be considered to be rapid. It’s more than 15-20 years. In some cases, I think it’s a couple generations. You know, when we sit down with our therapists and ask them, you know, ‘do you use the adjunct therapies?’ the answer is usually not a lot and why? Well there’s a number of reasons-timing, but it’s just like it’s not part of the culture. Like it’s just not part of the culture. You know...And you ask them, ‘would you like to do it?’ ‘Of course, we would, I mean, why wouldn’t we? Right. I wouldn’t mind trying something new or trying this new technology or this new treatment but I don’t know where to start; it’s not what we’ve traditionally done; it’s not what we tend to do; I’m busy enough as it is’ and so these treatments don’t get incorporated or added. So, you know, the reasons are legit, they’re fine, but I mean, if we’re looking at ways that we might be able to further improve recovery and the next big step...cuz you know, one of the things that you get a feeling in stroke rehab is people just not sure where we’re gonna go next. It strikes me that this is a lost opportunity that we could take advantage of.
