Prakash is the Director of Clinical Musculoskeletal Research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago and Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Northwestern University. He is a Clinician Researcher in Sports Medicine.
Dr Jayabalan's clinical practice focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries in people of all ages. He also has specific clinical and research interests in degenerative joint diseases of the older athlete such as knee osteoarthritis and the optimization of physical activity in individuals with disabilities.
As a clinician-researcher, Dr Jayabalan takes clinical problems he sees in his patients and aims to find innovative solutions for them in the research lab. His research uses biomarker analyses (from urine and/or blood) to develop efficacious exercise regimens for people with musculoskeletal injury or disease. This fits into the future concept of individualized and personalized medicine, using someone's biological profile to find an appropriate exercise program for them. He has multiple ongoing National Institutes of Health (NIH) and non-NIH funded research projects with the ultimate goal of optimizing the performance, function and recovery of patients with musculoskeletal disease.
Growing up, Nikki was always passionate about two topics: anything medical and sports. The combination of the two was inevitable. She graduated as a Physiotherapist, cum laude, from UCT in 2002.

She worked for a number of years in a private hospital serving in and out-patient care. Nikki returned to her studies, completing multiple post-graduate courses including OMT1 (2008), dry needling and treatment of the TMJ. It is here that her interest in neck-related injuries sparked, completing her OMT thesis in the study and spinal treatment of Dizziness in Cervicogenic Patients.
A keen long-distance runner herself, having competed in multiple trail and ultra-marathon road events, she enjoys diagnosing and treating runners to return them to the road and trails again.
Nikki enjoys helping others improve their quality of life through exercise and is a stern believer in functional strength training.
Nikki is also the South African Disabled Golf Association’s Eligibility Assessor since 2016. She is involved in the assessment and classification of disabled golfers to classify for World Rankings as per the EDGA (European Disabled Golf Association) guidelines. She was invited as one of two South African delegates to attend the International Eligibility Conference in the UK.
Nikki is her happiest outdoors, on a mountain trail, surrounded by nature. She has a keen interest in photography and design.

He recently retired as Chief Medical Officer of the PGA European Tour and was responsible for their worldwide operation, their advisory board and their research program. He is a member of the Medical Commission of the International Golf Federation (IGF).

He views golf as an ideal sport for those with a wide range of impairments which has led to his interest in helping to develop golf in this area.

As a member of the EDGA board and Medical Committee from 2010, Professor Hans Arendzen has played a very important role in the development of golf for the disabled.
EDGA’s Tony Bennett talks with Hans about his career and some of the important milestones that have been achieved with golf for the disabled and his aspirations for the future.
Professor Hans is Dutch, lives in the Netherlands but his work has taken him to hospitals from the USA to the Dutch Antilles over a long and distinguished medical career. Playing golf as a student, he put the sport aside for 30 years before taking it up again with enthusiasm and becoming a decent club player. A teacher and mentor of his called Professor Wim Eisma has been a leading figure from the early days of EDGA. “Wim was my tutor for 20 years,” explains Hans. “In 2010 he contacted me and said, ‘do you know someone who likes golf and is interested in getting involved with EDGA?’ And I said, ‘Well… maybe… I am!’ ”

Lee-Ann Clarke BSc(Hons), MSc Physio, MCSP, HCPC Physiotherapist
Completed a BSc(Hons) in Sports Medicine, followed by an MSc in Physiotherapy from the University of Glasgow & Glasgow Caledonian University respectively. I have over 20 years experience working across the NHS, elite sport and private practice. I am an advanced practitioner in Trauma & Orthopaedics and have many years experience in rehabilitation following life changing injuries and illness. I have recently held a senior leadership role in a local NHS Trust; leading a team of Allied Health Professionals in a regional inpatient rehabilitation unit.
Additionally, I have taught Pilates for over 10 years and spent time around golf clubs treating golfers with injuries and using Pilates based exercises to enhance Golf performance. It was stark how active & healthy people who played golf regularly appeared to be. Got me thinking about how Golf could be used as a form of rehabilitation for many of the people I would meet in my NHS job. Something I am currently developing in my local community.
I started playing golf for my own physical and mental wellbeing in 2019 and I am hooked! I have recently reduced my handicap into the teens and excited what this season holds!
I am thrilled to be involved with EDGA and Golf Ireland as a National Eligibility Assessor.

For its first episode, "EDUTRUC" receives Professor Mohamed Tricha to address the subject of inclusive education as a citizen action of the Tamkine Foundation. Inclusive education as the show envisions it is the inclusion of people with disabilities in the whole educational process: We are talking about inclusive education and not educational inclusion.
Through all of the functions exercised by Professor Tricha, and through his status as Ambassador of the Foundation and Director of its inclusive education program, and given that he meets dozens of young people in disability, we exchange access to education for these young people, from pedagogical and didactic accessibility to the time of inclusive education via the Tamkine Foundation program, and we are getting closer to the lived experience with disabled people whom Professor Tricha accompanies during sports activities dedicated to them, such as handi-golf and underwater archery.

"When we see a patient, for example, due to a knee complaint, they may not necessarily have a completely clear idea of what kind of examinations and treatment they have already received. Perhaps the knee has already been X-rayed on the public healthcare side," explains Markku Varpela, Specialist in Orthopaedics, Surgery and Traumatology at the Aava Medical Centre.
"When the patient’s treatment information is accessible in the Kanta system, we can avoid unnecessary duplication of work. That way, the quality of care improves considerably."
