Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Can Physical Activity Improve the Health of Wheelchair Users? (Day 3)
The 2010 census estimated that 3.6 million Americans use a wheeled mobility device, such as a manual wheelchair, motorized wheelchair, or scooter. This number is projected to be four times higher in 2020. Individuals who use wheeled mobility devices often experience distinct health challenges and poor health outcomes and may also encounter barriers to accessing preventive health care and getting sufficient physical activity. Physical activity interventions are likely to have wide-ranging impacts on the overall health of people who use wheeled mobility devices and may improve their workforce participation, independence, and...

NIH HEAL Initiative Workshop on Myofascial Pain (Day 2)
It is estimated that 30 to 85 percent of patients with musculoskeletal pain are affected by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) — pain originating from muscles and/or associated soft tissues such as fascia. Interactions between fascia and muscles remain mostly unknown and there is a strong need to address the contributions of the myofascial tissues to chronic pain. This represents one of the last “ unturned stones ” of all the tissue types involved in musculoskeletal pain. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering are proud to join forc...
