New York City, New York Oct 9, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Wallace Ward holds the role of Supervisor of Rehabilitation Technicians & Support Services at the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury (ICSCI) situated within the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. 

ICSCI is dedicated to assisting both children and adults who have experienced spinal cord injuries and paralysis due to various causes, including accidents, strokes, tumors, birth defects, and more. Their treatment approach is centered on enhancing overall health and promoting the optimal recovery of neurological and daily functions through the application of Activity Based Restorative Therapy (ABRT).

Dr. Wallace Ward is among a legacy of leaders within ICSCI who have committed their careers to providing the most comprehensive care and innovative therapies available for patients dealing with spinal cord injuries and paralysis. This commitment is evident in their interdisciplinary team, which collaborates closely to deliver comprehensive care. In addition to the innovation and technology that are key components to the advanced treatment and rehabilitation programs at ICSCI, each patient benefits from the expertise of a physician certified in spinal cord injury and physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Reflecting her dedication to her field and her ongoing pursuit of excellence in the realm of spinal cord injury rehabilitation, Dr. Wallace Ward is an engaged member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the National Association of Black Physical Therapists (NABPT).

As a physical therapist specializing in neurological rehabilitation at ICSCI, Dr. Wallace Ward is very knowledgeable on the practices and principles of Activity Based Restorative Therapy (ABRT). ABRT works toward the goal of increasing the mobility of a patient by activating the nervous system above and below the level of injury. This practice can provide input to the brain and nervous system, stimulating new connections and functions that can enhance a patient's quality of life, even long after the onset of their injury. ABRT focuses therapies within five principles, including: functional electrical stimulation, task specific practice, massed practice, weight bearing, and locomotor training.  

In support of these principles, Dr. Wallace Ward has advanced training in aquatic therapy, locomotor training, and robotic-assisted gait training.

NU, Letran dispute solo lead in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Five-peat-seeking National University braces for Letran’s tough resistance when the two unbeaten teams clash for the solo lead in Pool A of the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Friday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.    Lady Bulldogs head coach Norman Miguel sees the reigning NCAA champion Lady Knights as one of the biggest threats to their reign. Miguel knows that even with NU’s advantage in depth and firepower, Letran is not a team to be taken lightly when they meet at 3 p.m. as action in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea resumes after an 11-day break.     “Letran, being the NCAA champion, has gained so much experience and we know magagamit nila sa game ‘yun. Kaya walang reason para maging complacent kami sa game,” Miguel said. The Lady Bulldogs had a dominating start in their title-retention bid, sweeping past San Beda University, 25-14, 25-19, 25-18, last September 26. Arah Panique, who scored nine points in the previous match, will again lead NU’s charge alongside veterans Vange Alinsug, Alexa Mata, Chams Maaya, Celine Marsh, Harlyn Serneche and Sam Cantada. The Lady Knights, meanwhile, are coming off a huge opening-day win after tripping Arellano University, 25-19, 18-25, 25-18, 25-18, last September 27. Letran coach Aleksi Lahteenmaki is pinning his hopes on Judiel Nitura, Carlyn Tizon, Sheena Sarie and Kaizah Huyno to pull off an upset over NU. Meanwhile, Far Eastern University and San Sebastian College-Recoletos square off at 1 p.m. to open the triple-header playdate of the tournament, supported by Smart, PusoP.com DICT, Executive Optical, Milo and Summit Natural Drinking Water, with the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners.  The Lady Tamaraws and Lady Stags are tied on top of Pool C. FEU hurdled Ateneo De Manila University, 25-20, 25-13, 25-12, in its first game while SSC-R outlasted Emilio Aguinaldo College in a come-from-behind, 16-25, 18-25, 27-25, 25-23, 15-6, thriller. In the other pairing, University of the Philippines debuts against rebound-seeking University of the East at 5 p.m. in their Pool D showdown. The Lady Warriors seek to bounce back from a 22-25, 26-24, 26-24, 12-25, 13-15, defeat to Lyceum of the Philippines University. All games are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports. TMT
