While the DARI Motion Health System was initially used to measure performance capabilities of NFL players, other high-performance athletes and U.S. military members, Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital in El Dorado has integrated the technology into its new motion health service line to provide pre-employment screenings and assess overall employee wellness. In our cover story, learn how the DARI Motion Health System provides customized readings of motion health. We also take a closer look at The Exercise Coach, a Wichita franchise that provides people who are short on time but high on motivation with efficient and intense workouts in 20-minute sessions. In our feature from Grene Vision Group, we explore strabismus surgery — a procedure being offered locally by board-certified neuro-ophthalmologist Michele Riggins, MD. We also learn more about how hyperbaric therapy can be a treatment option for some men who develop specific complications following radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Our national stories for this issue focus on men's and women's health: We learn how certain men with prostate cancer gain a survival benefit from undergoing radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy as compared with radiation therapy and androgen deprivation therapy, and we review how the growing body of evidence that women age 75 or older benefit from mammography raises questions about current screening recommendations.
