A The Scope of the Problem:One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.After skin cancer, it is the second most common cancer in men.The average age at diagnosis is 66.It is the second most common cause of cancer death in men behind lung cancer. It is estimated there will be nearly 223,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 27,500 deaths from prostate cancer in 2015.

The ExoskeletonInspires New Hope

TThe purchase of a second exoskeleton was made possible through a specific fund for rehabilitation in the MVH Foundation. “There are two basic types of contributions,” according to Jenny Lewis, MVH Foundation President and CEO. “Unrestricted, or undesignated, gifts are able to be used in the area of greatest need in the hospital. The fund that allowed us to acquire the additional exoskeleton is a restricted fund, meaning contributions to that fund may only be used in that area. We are grateful to donors who made contributions to that fund which allows MVH to provide state-of-the art technology for patients.”

“Patientsareveryexcitedtousetheexoskeleton,”accordingtoKathyStachowski,OTR/L,programmanager,RehabilitationInstituteofOhioatMVH.“Wehavepatientswhosustainedspinalcordinjuriesafewyearsagoandthishasprovidednewhopeforstandingandwalkingintheexoskeleton.
