We invite you to turn the page to see Why.
MossRehab_ActivityReport_FNL.crw1.indd 3 12/27/13 1:13 AM
In these pages you’ll meet several of the remarkable leaders
at MossRehab. At the helm is our Chief Medical Officer,
Alberto Esquenazi, MD, who is recognized around the world
for his leadership in the field of physiatry. With a deep
commitment to patients and colleagues and a steadfast
determination to improve public understanding of the role
of physical medicine and rehabilitation, he has assumed
prominent positions of leadership in this country and abroad,
while providing superior guidance at MossRehab.
In 2013 Dr. Esquenazi led the American Academy of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) as
president during the celebration of the organization’s 75th
year. He worked tirelessly during his tenure to ensure that
physiatrists have a voice in a wide range of current issues.
During this era of health care reform, he brought attention
to the pressing need for change in health care delivery
and financing, setting an example with model initiatives
at MossRehab. Among these was a remarkable patient
safety project by MossRehab and Einstein Healthcare
Network, which resulted in reducing catheter-associated
urinary tract infections by more than 50% in one year and
eliminating other types of infections, and concluded with the
development of effective training and competency guidelines
applied to the six inpatient locations MossRehab serves.
During his presidency, Dr. Esquenazi forged strong
international relationships, representing nearly 8,000
members of the AAPM&R in the International Society of
Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM), and bringing
Our LEadErs kEEp pOinting thE Way tO Our suCCEss
the voice of the AAPM&R to important global issues. During
the recent disaster in the Philippines he promoted U.S. efforts
to provide financial support and rehabilitation assistance to
facilities in the region that were destroyed by the storm, and
scheduled a follow-up visit to the Philippines in 2014.
Throughout his career, Dr. Esquenazi has participated
in notable national and international dialogues on
rehabilitation, such as the roundtable discussion on military
issues hosted last year by First Lady Michelle Obama. In
2013, he began the final year of his six years of service as a
member of the NIH subcommittee on Function, Integration,
and Rehabilitation Sciences (FIRS). Outside the U.S., he is
a member of the executive committee of the ISPRM, and the
author of numerous international peer-reviewed articles.
At MossRehab, Dr. Esquenazi is the first John Otto Haas
Chair in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a role made
possible by a generous grant from former patient John Otto
Haas and his wife Janet, a former MossRehab physiatrist.
Dr. Esquenazi is responsible for overseeing the endowment,
which has been allocated exclusively for education and
development of rehabilitation.

dEvOtiOn tO Our patiEnts drivEs us tO bE first
in november 2013, mossrehab became
the first rehabilitation facility in the
u.s. to offer the tyromotion
robot collection
We’re excited to be able to offer these devices to our patients
who may benefit from robotic interventions that target the
upper extremities. The four versatile robots that comprise this
collection, named after four famous artists, enable patients to
undergo a series of robot-assisted exercises that deftly address
different segments of the upper body.
At MossRehab we deploy these robots in our clinics, which
are dedicated to specific diagnostic groups. After training on
the Tyromotion systems, our therapists across all neurological
groups (stroke, spinal cord injury and brain injury)
collaborated to determine how these robots would best fit the
needs of our patients.
We use Diego® to assist our patients in arm exercises that are
difficult for patients with neurologic or orthopedic problems.
Equipped with easily adjustable arm slings, this robot trains
and tracks their movements in three-dimensional space.
The Pablo® system allows our patients to engage in a
greater variety of advanced movements, depending on
their level of function and activity.
With the Tymo® system we help our patients improve
balance and postural control, and active exertion in
the upper extremities. Our patients especially enjoy the
therapy modules in the form of games.
We use Amadeo® for our patients with motor dysfunctions
of the hand and wrist. Our therapists select from different
modules based on progress made during therapy and are
able to program passive, assistive or active movements.
mossrehab robots help our
therapists help our patients
Our robots function as therapeutic aids but are not
intended to reduce the human involvement that is so
critical to the rehabilitative process. At MossRehab robots
help our clinicians deliver more precise and repetitive
treatment. With these advanced systems we can proudly
offer unique benefits to both patients and their therapists.
Among high-ranking rehabilitation facilities, we have a reputation for residing at the forefront of technology. We’re known for eagerly adopting leading-edge equipment that has proven its value in sophisticated new clinical applications. Several leading manufacturers have come to regard us as a partner in technological advancement and clinical integration, and as a showcase for innovative rehabilitation equipment.

MOssrEhab is thE first rEhabiLitatiOn faCiLity in thE u.s. tO OffEr thE g-EO systEM EvOLutiOn
Clinical care at MossRehab rose to a new level with the
installation of the G-EO System Evolution, a new robot-
assisted gait rehabilitation tool. Our patients benefit
enormously from this robot, which is capable of simulating
three kinds of movement — walking, step climbing and descent.
The G-EO Evolution provides enhanced feedback, giving
training at MossRehab a level of sophistication that helps to
set us apart from other rehabilitation facilities. The robot
actively responds in real time to patient capabilities and the
patient gradually gains the ability to walk with increasing
independence, eventually allowing G-EO-independent motion.
in 2013, We enhanced our patients’
experience by installing the g-eo
system virtual scenario
This new addition allows our patients to enjoy virtual visual
environments while engaging in repetitive walking. Patients
experience simulated scenery that evokes pleasurable activities
such as long walks along winding wooded trails or a city plaza.
Our patients tell us that these virtual scenarios help to lighten
the arduous journey to recovery, making the challenge of
rehabilitation just a little more enjoyable.
We encourage you to view more of our rehabilitation robots at

this year We received the
outstanding special event
aWard® for partnering With the
philadelphia museum of art
This annual award, bestowed by the Pennsylvania Therapeutic Recreation Society, recognizes organizations that sponsor therapeutic events of exceptional benefit to the community. In MossRehab’s Outpatient Art Therapy Program, our special collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art provides a powerful creative outlet for our patients. Specially trained guides lead participants through a selection of the museum’s collection for encounters with inspiring and renowned works of art. In follow-up art therapy sessions, MossRehab patients give artistic form to their own challenges and changing sense of identity as they cope with physical and cognitive limitations. Displays of our patients’ artwork at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at MossRehab reflect the
transformational journeys we are privileged to facilitate.
our focus is alWays on our patients’
potential
So we support unique therapeutic programs that help our patients realize new dreams. For the second year, MossRehab partnered with the Life Rolls On organization for their annual “They Will Surf Again” program, giving veteran and novice surfers with spinal cord injury the opportunity to surf on modified boards. In June 2013, 45 MossRehab therapists
volunteered as part of this boundary-pushing program that gives persons with spinal cord injury a rare opportunity to transcend their limitations. See more at MossRehab.com.
Our extraordinary Camp Independence, an overnight camp for adults with physical disabilities, fills a vital need for patients who have no other opportunity to interact with peers outside of an institutional setting. This week-long camp dramatically expands our patients’ worlds with daytime activities such as swimming, hiking, basketball, archery, decathlon competition, fishing, arts and crafts, and creative writing, and evening events such as a talent show, drama skits, movies, and dancing.
Camp Independence benefits patients with a range of physical abilities. Activities are tailored to accommodate a wide spectrum of physical involvement, and our staff is trained to keep campers safe as they stretch their limits. Some campers have been returning for more than 20 years, and most look forward all year long to this unique opportunity to enjoy nature and develop new friendships.
Our one-of-a-kind All About Art audio tour features ten artists from the MossRehab permanent art collection, whose work in a diverse range of mediums provides vibrant and inspiring examples of fine art within the context of rehabilitation. Open to all patients and visitors of our main MossRehab campus, the audio tour guides viewers through selected artwork with handheld audio equipment or with our new cell phone app. Our collaboration with Q-Media on this superb audio tour of the lives and work of artists with disabilities has culminated in a rich interactive experience that deepens the visitor’s appreciation of the artwork and the artist’s ability.
That’s why we consider them our partners. We walk alongside them on their journeys and watch in awe as they navigate extraordinary situations with courage and endurance. Their confidence in our treatments keeps refueling our commitment. Their passion to give back by encouraging other patients is humbling. For these reasons we are honored to partner with them in a range of unique therapeutic programs and events.

Outstanding rEsEarCh infOrMs Our suCCEss
MossRehab’s renowned research is expertly guided by John Whyte, MD, PhD, director of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI). The recipient of numerous national awards for his exceptional work in research and education, he steers groundbreaking research that places an emphasis on advances in the field of traumatic brain injury.
MRRI operates one of only 16 Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) in the U.S. Directed by Tessa Hart, PhD and co-directed by Dr. Whyte, the TBIMS at MossRehab uses a rich network of collaborations to achieve ambitious goals in research and dissemination, with the ultimate aim of providing advanced treatments for individuals with TBI. With three level-one trauma centers and the nationally recognized Drucker Brain Injury Center, the TBIMS at MossRehab offers a full spectrum of high-quality treatment, including superior emergency, acute trauma, and neurosurgical care.
in 2013, We launched several exciting
neW tbims national module studies
that focus on a Wide range of topics,
including:
The effect of statin drugs on TBI recovery — Lead investigator, Dr. Whyte. To date, neuroprotective drugs have not
demonstrated an improvement on outcomes after brain
injury. This study will expand on findings from several animal
studies and small human trials that suggest statins may have
a beneficial effect on recovery after brain injury. This study
seeks biological evidence that statins offer neuroprotection,
with the hope that subsequent prospective studies may help
determine the impact of early introduction and withdrawal of
statins, and the overall effect of statins on patient outcomes.
The development of a unique tool to gauge hidden gradations of brain injury and recovery — Co–lead investigators, Dr. Whyte and Joseph Giacino, PhD (Spaulding). Inspired in part
by implications of their impressive 2012 NEJM publication
on the effects of emerging treatments on neuroplasticity
and functional recovery, the co-investigators of this study
are examining the complexity with which the pace of
rehabilitative recovery can and must be described. This
critical study examines the inadequacy of current measures of
rehabilitative progress by confronting floor and ceiling effects
to develop an indispensible new yardstick.

Our dedication to our patients and to advanced research has been rewarded by numerous NIH grants, which allow us to explore unique solutions to persistent problems in rehabilitation. In just one of our current clinical trials, lead investigator Tessa Hart, PhD is examining an innovative treatment for anger among patients with post-acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Problematic anger and irritability are common after TBI, and exist across the spectrum of injury severity. Our multi-center clinical trial is designed to test a novel treatment approach called Anger Self-Management Training (ASMT). The ASMT is a promising individual, psycho-educational intervention based on principles of self-monitoring and problem-solving.
We’re elevating the visibility
of rehabilitation psychology
In 2013, Tessa Hart, PhD ably represented MossRehab as
President of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology
(Division 22) within the American Psychological
Association. A leader at home and abroad, Hart was
also invited to deliver a keynote address at the 2013
Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) conference in
the United Kingdom. At BIRT’s 5th international conference
in London, she joined world-renowned speakers on research and
strategies for the treatment and rehabilitation of acquired brain
injury, delivering a keynote address entitled Outcome Measures in Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Challenges and Solutions.

topics of pioneering mossrehab
publications in 2013
Disorders of consciousness. Dr. Whyte and colleague
Risa Nakase-Richardson, PhD edited a special
collection of articles on disorders of consciousness,
published in the October 2013 issue of Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This collection
brings awareness to the discovery that meaningful
recovery proceeds for longer intervals than previously
appreciated, and that many complex comorbidities
require expert management. Together, these findings
suggest the need to redesign the care system for this
population.
Treatment taxonomy. John Whyte, MD, PhD, Tessa
Hart, PhD and other MossRehab researchers, along
with colleagues from Mt. Sinai collaborated on a
special issue of Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation that addresses the critical need for a
detailed taxonomy to classify treatments for improved
interdisciplinary communication in research, practice,
and training. This collection, which examines one of
the most pressing conceptual and practical issues in
rehabilitation, is scheduled for publication in 2014.

At MossRehab, we don’t stop with groundbreaking research, we transmit paradigm-changing ideas to others through our unparalleled educational programs. We have a deep appreciation for education, and take seriously our calling to share knowledge with professionals and members of the rehabilitation community around the world.
mossrehab takes pride
in thought leadership
In 2013, we joined colleagues in establishing a new
educational vehicle for sharing expertise in the management
of complex conditions. At the 75th Annual Assembly of the
American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation,
MossRehab physiatrists Thomas Watanabe, MD, Clinical
Director of the MossRehab Drucker Brain Injury Center and
Michael Marino, MD, Attending Physician at the Center,
participated in the inaugural Thought Leader Presentations.
They presented on managing behavioral problems after acute
traumatic brain injury.
at mossrehab, We value
innovative forms of communication
In 2013, we proudly launched Medcast, the educational
podcast series for professionals. These podcasts offer clinical
information in key areas, including emerging diagnostics,
treatment interventions, and rehabilitation research. This
library of presentations by renowned physiatrists and
scientists is available on the MossRehab website. We invite
our colleagues to download the podcasts for free on iTunes.
Among the most popular of these has been the Medcast
session entitled Ulnar Nerve Electrodiagnostic Techniques to Localize Entrapment Site.
We’ve also developed podcasts for patients and caregivers.
Our Living Beyond Disabilities podcasts demonstrate how
we partner with our patients to tackle challenges in their
lives. Current topics include Understanding the Psychology
of Recovery, Returning to an Active Lifestyle, and Rescuing
Digital Outcasts.

The Temple/MossRehab Residency Training Program, our long
standing collaboration with Temple University, is fertile ground
for residents to develop critical thinking and become leaders in
clinical rehabilitation, research, and education. In this program,
residents have the opportunity to learn from mentors who are
publishing seminal works and use revolutionary equipment. The
program gives residents the confidence to manage complicated
situations and become future leaders in rehabilitation. Dr.
Esquenazi and eight other MossRehab resident and staff alumni
have served as presidents of the AAPM&R or provided leadership
to the Association of Academic Physiatrists.
Our residents gain invaluable experience by translating training
into practical, high-impact protocols. In 2013, MossRehab
developed new catheter-associated urinary tract infections
(CAUTI) prevention protocols for medical staff and residents,
which led to a marked reduction in hospital-acquired
CAUTI rates.
In 2013, one of our recent residency program alumni, Daniel
Moon, MD, began his 12-month fellowship in neurorehabilitation
with an emphasis on spasticity, gait analysis, and movement
analysis. After rotating through the two functional assessment
laboratories (Sheerr Gait and Motion Analysis Laboratory
and Motor Control Analysis Laboratory) and the intrathecal
pharmacology program, he will complete a clinical research
project and draft a paper to publish his findings.
We host visionary professional
conferences
MossRehab has a rich history of sharing its expertise with
rehabilitation professionals at large through educational
programs and conferences. We gather audiences every month
to explore topics such as clinical care advances, rehabilitative
technology, and research in spinal cord injury, stroke, TBI,
and amputation. In 2013, we hosted two major conferences
on spinal cord injury and brain injury rehabilitation.
Information on upcoming educational programs is available at
MossRehabConference.com.
Mossrehab is proud to be an
international Model for education
and training
Each year, our pioneering training and education program
attracts many international visitors. In 2013, 20 professionals
from 14 different countries traveled to MossRehab to glean
ideas and acquire clinical training to share with their colleagues.
Two groups from Korea and China spent several days studying
our methods, systems, and processes to develop new private
and governmental programs of rehabilitation. Funds from the
John Otto Haas grant allow MossRehab professionals to engage
in learning abroad as well as host national and international
programs at home.
