Managing A Creative Practice, Julie C. Barrett
Managing A Creative Practice, Julie C. Barrett
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
Myths and assumptions about creativity often lead us to believe that creativity is innate. Researchers find though, that we develop creative skills like any other ability, through opportunity, encouragement and practice. They also believe that most people fail to reach their creative potential, not because of lack of ability, but lack of opportunity. In this paper, I studied how creativity functions (specifically in terms of my own painting practice) and how it can be applied more flexibly. Certain factors, such as access to strong mentors, freedom to experiment, and readily available resources, help potentially exceptional minds find the passion to …

Assessing Introductory Rural Sociology, Joseph F. Donnermeyer, Benjamin Gray
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
This article reports on the results of an assessment of an introductory rural sociology course offered at two land-grant universities, which are very different in size. These institutions are North Carolina A&T State University and The Ohio State University. The authors use similar assessment tools, including an embedded pre and post test of knowledge gained, students’ written comments to open-ended questions administered at the end of term about the quality of the class and the instructors, and the traditional, standardized Student Evaluation of Instruction, an instrument used across many universities. In addition, at OSU, a small group diagnostic of students …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Intravenous pyelography (IVP) is a common tool for evaluating the upper urinary tract in spinal cord injury patients. To obtain a proper image, bowel preparation is required. Among the regimens for bowel preparation, polyethylene glycol (PEG) electrolyte lavage solution has a good cleansing quality and fewer side effects. Nonetheless, adverse effects of the regimen, though rare, have been reported. We describe a spinal cord injury patient who suffered from acute renal failure as a result of PEG-related toxicity, after taking oral PEG electrolyte lavage solution for bowel preparation. A 57-year-old woman who had sustained spinal cord injury for 11 years …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
A 21-year-old man had progressive weakness and numbness of bilateral lower extremities and sphincter dysfunction after a traffic accident. The image and electrodiagnostic study showed no significant abnormal findings. Conversion paraplegia was suspected due to unusual clinical presentation, which cannot be explained by neuropathologic lesions. After intensive rehabilitation, patient's functional performance improved significantly and he could walk independently without device. But later, a fibrous dysplasia lesion was found at left sphenoid greater wing. He received an operation to remove it. The relationship between his benign brain tumor and conversion disorder is unknown, but the tumor that compressed temporal lobe might …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Wilson disease is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism. The genetic defect, localized to chromosome arm 13q, has been shown to affect the copper-transporting adenosine triphosphatase gene. The major pathology is excessive deposition of copper in the liver, brain, and other tissues. The most common presenting neurological features are tremor, dystonia and ataxia that influence the motor control and gait. The diagnosis is confirmed by measurement of serum ceruloplasmin, urinary copper excretion and hepatic copper content as well as the detection of Kayser-Fleischer rings.The subject in our case study is a 25-year-old, female patient with Wilson disease. …

Assessment Of Individual Activities Of Daily Living And Its Association With Self-Rated Health Status In Elderly People, Yu-Ning Hu, Chin-Ching Li, Chia Lee, Rung-Huei Lin, Gwo-Chi Hu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Health-related quality-of-life in the elderly generally encompasses freedom from disease, good physical and psycho-social well-being, and preventing the loss of function in activities of daily living (ADL). Some indices of ADL, such as basic ADL and instrumental ADL, are considered to be measures of functional status in the elderly. However, in most studies, functional status is evaluated by either the summed ADL score or disability score in one or more ADLs. No studies have investigated the association between an individual's ADL function and self-rated health status. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of functional status (i.e., …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) refers to skeletal muscle pain that follows strenuous and unaccustomed physical activity. The intensity of discomfort peaks at 24 to 48 hours, and subsides within 5 to 7 days post-exercise. It appears that DOMS occurs most frequently following unaccustomed eccentric exercise. However, it is not clear whether sensitivity to pain is uniform over the surface of the muscle, or whether some locations become more sensitive following eccentric exercise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of DOMS at various sites of muscle following a bout of eccentric exercise.A total of 25 subjects …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Muscle spasticity is a common problem that affects patients who have suffered spinal cord injury (SCI). It can affect the motor skills, activities of daily living, and quality of life of these patients. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS) is a widely used clinical rating scale for spasticity, but its validity and reliability have been questioned. Much attention has been devoted to the evaluation of spasticity by using electrophysiological approaches. Increased excitation of motor neurons, exaggerated stretch reflex, decreased presynaptic inhibition, and reduced reciprocal inhibition have been found to be associated with spasticity. In several previous studies, the Hoffmann (H) reflex …
