2024 Apple Award
Congratulations to 2024 Apple Award recipient, Ryan Solinsky, MD. The Apple award was presented during the upcoming Annual Scientific Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dr. Solinsky was nominated for his article: “Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and its Impact on Cardiovascular Autonomic Regulation after Spinal Cord Injury.”
Dr. Solinsky is a spinal cord injury medicine physician-scientist at Mayo Clinic. In addition to caring for patients with SCI on the inpatient and outpatient services, Dr. Solinsky’s research focuses on human autonomic regulation, translating this top patient concern from the clinic to the physiology lab and back to the clinic to ultimately help people with SCI.
The Apple Award for excellence in publishing in spinal cord injury rehabilitation literature is given annually in recognition of the best-published paper by a clinician or researcher in the preceding calendar year. Nominations are accepted for articles that address clinical or basic science research in spinal cord medicine.
The Apple Award is named in honor of David F. Apple, Jr., MD, founding member and past-president of the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA). The award is a collaboration of three entities that were critically important to Dr. Apple during his long career in orthopedic surgery at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, where he served as founding medical director for 30 years.
