Accelerometry As An Estimate Of Energy Expenditure In Healthy Children And Children With Cerebral Palsy During Self-Paced Ambulation, Joseph F. Norman Jan 2006

Accelerometry As An Estimate Of Energy Expenditure In Healthy Children And Children With Cerebral Palsy During Self-Paced Ambulation, Joseph F. Norman

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Oxygen consumption (VO2) is the criterion standard for determining energy expenditure during activity. Newer technologies have resulted in the development of portable metabolic gas analyzers capable of measuring VO2 during a wide range of physical activities in the field. Unfortunately, use of these devices is still limited due to the cost, availability and skill level required to utilize this newer technology. However, there is an instrument which may be utilized. Accelerometers are a type of physical activity monitor that provide estimates of energy expenditure and may potentially be of more practical use in the clinical setting. Purpose: This study was …

Impact Of The College Of Allied Health Professions On The Local Economy, Semoon Chang Jan 2006

Impact Of The College Of Allied Health Professions On The Local Economy, Semoon Chang

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Contributions made by allied health programs to the local community extend beyond quality health care. Estimated in this paper are the economic contributions that the College of Allied Health Professions at the University of South Alabama makes to the economy of Mobile County, Alabama, in which the College is located. Economic impact is defined as only those expenditures that are brought to the local economy from outside by the existence of the College, excluding any expenditures that simply change hands in the local economy. Expenditures generated by the existence of the College have the following three groups: expenditures made by …


Cultural Sensitivity Beyond Ethnicity: A Universal Precautions Model, Deborah Dysart Gale Jan 2006

Cultural Sensitivity Beyond Ethnicity: A Universal Precautions Model, Deborah Dysart Gale

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Cross-cultural healthcare research has grown exponentially in recent years, focusing primarily on the healthcare-related needs of ethnic and linguistic minorities. However, by approaching cultural sensitivity from an ethnic/linguistic perspective, the practitioner runs the risk of relying on essentialized or stereotyped accounts of cultural groups, as well as overlooking the needs of other groups (e.g., gays, elderly, physically challenged) that may validly be viewed as cultures and profitably studied with the tools of cross-cultural scholarship. This essay argues that Hofstede’s paradigm of cultural dimensions can serve as a useful foundation for providing culturally sensitive care following the model of Universal Precautions …


Electronic Clinical Records For Physiotherapists, Christine Barry, Mark Jones, Karen Grimmer Jan 2006

Electronic Clinical Records For Physiotherapists, Christine Barry, Mark Jones, Karen Grimmer

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: This pilot study compared traditional (paper-based) and electronic (computerized) clinical physiotherapy records. The content of the records and the software’s user acceptability were considered. Methods: A neuro-musculoskeletal patient scenario involving two encounters (initial and follow-up) was scripted and role-played to each of three experienced physiotherapists (A, B and C). Participants assessed the patient and made traditional clinical records. After basic training in an electronic record system, they repeated the assessments and made electronic records via a laptop computer. Three experienced physiotherapists (A, D and E) each used their usual method to write a clinical report and an electronic record …


The False Wisdom Of Tuition Based Ranking Of Allied Health Programs: Is Your Program Affordable?, Tamara L. Little Jan 2006

The False Wisdom Of Tuition Based Ranking Of Allied Health Programs: Is Your Program Affordable?, Tamara L. Little

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the extent to which the ranking of programs based on total tuition cost changes when housing and program length were added to total tuition. Method: To accomplish this, the cost of tuition at 13 physical therapist education programs was compiled. Programs were ranked from most expensive to least expensive. The costs associated with housing, program length, and lost opportunity to earn wages were then added to total tuition. Programs were again ranked from most expensive to least expensive. Results: Regional differences in the cost of living and the total length of …

The C-C chemokine receptor 5, 32 base-pair deletion (CCR5-Δ32) allele confers strong resistance to infection by the AIDS virus HIV. Previous studies have suggested that CCR5-Δ32 arose within the past 1,000 y and rose to its present high frequency (5%–14%) in Europe as a result of strong positive selection, perhaps by such selective agents as the bubonic plague or smallpox during the Middle Ages. This hypothesis was based on several lines of evidence, including the absence of the allele outside of Europe and long-range linkage disequilibrium at the locus. We reevaluated this evidence with the benefit …


"Finis Origine Pendet” – Enhancing Later Learning And Professional Socialization Through An Introductory Dpt Course, Kyle P. Meyer, Patricia A. Hageman, Robert H. Fuchs, Amy E. Tyler, Gregory M. Karst Oct 2005

"Finis Origine Pendet” – Enhancing Later Learning And Professional Socialization Through An Introductory Dpt Course, Kyle P. Meyer, Patricia A. Hageman, Robert H. Fuchs, Amy E. Tyler, Gregory M. Karst

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background and Purpose: In developing a new Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, the faculty at a mid-west academic health sciences center decided to introduce course content historically placed near the end of the program’s Master of Physical Therapy curriculum at the beginning of the DPT curriculum. The new DPT curriculum was constructed to promote the value of three central themes; 1) evidence-based practice and 2) patient-centered care, both of which contribute to 3) sound clinical decision making. Faculty theorized that by explicitly expressing these themes in a first semester, introductory course, students would acquire a much needed framework for …


A Review Of The Pathophysiology Of Psychological Disorders In Persons With Parkinson’S Disease, Neil Kenney, Efrain Gonzalez Oct 2005

A Review Of The Pathophysiology Of Psychological Disorders In Persons With Parkinson’S Disease, Neil Kenney, Efrain Gonzalez

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

An understanding of the physiological etiologies of psychological disturbance continues to evolve as an essential component of training and practice for healthcare providers. The epidemiology of psychological disorders in persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is reviewed. The anatomy of the basal ganglia, etiology of PD, and pathophysiological bases for depression, anxiety, dementia, apathy, psychosis and delusions in persons with PD are then discussed. In consideration of the strong biological and environmental bases of psychopathology in persons with PD, it is proposed that a biopsychosocial model be considered for optimal delivery of interdisciplinary care to this population.

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

This paper reports on the process of developing a low-cost initiative for therapists to assist in the collection and evaluation of information on outcome of care, using a selection of standard health outcome measures. An episode of care approach has been taken, in which repeated measures of outcome can be collected whenever the patient presents for treatment for a specific condition. The MS Access-based software is available for download free of charge on the website of the Centre for Allied Health Evidence, University of South Australia (CAHE Outcomes Calculator). The calculator currently incorporates common measures of outcome for musculoskeletal problems, …

Description And Evaluation Of An Interactive Jeopardy Game Designed To Foster Self-Assessment, Denise Bender, K.E. Randall

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Basic clinical skill courses require students to progress from early information acquisition toward the ability to synthesize and modify the information for various clinical scenarios. In our program, graduate physical and occupational therapy students obtain practice with this clinical reasoning process during a classroom version of the Jeopardy! game. This interactive game show format offers a low-risk environment that encourages student participation. The students divide into two interdisciplinary teams, and each team elects four persons to formally answer the questions. These spokespersons take turns selecting a category of questions. Since all students are assigned to a team, even those not …


Enhancing Critical Reflection Of Students During A Clinical Internship Using The Self-S.O.A.P. Note, Deanna Dye Oct 2005

Enhancing Critical Reflection Of Students During A Clinical Internship Using The Self-S.O.A.P. Note, Deanna Dye

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background and Purpose: Critical reflection is a skill all physical therapists need to develop to be successful in professional practice. Scholars have defined the varied processes, purposes and outcomes of reflection. Journaling is one technique for encouraging the process of critical reflection. While journaling can take many forms, a structured journal format with clear instructions and ongoing feedback has been found to be most successful in maintaining student engagement. Method Description and Evaluation: A journal structured in a S.O.A.P. note format was implemented as a weekly assignment during a clinical education experience. Students were required to submit the weekly self-S.O.A.P. …


A Review Of The Literature On Evidence-Based Practice In Physical Therapy, Joe Schreiber, Perri Stern Oct 2005

A Review Of The Literature On Evidence-Based Practice In Physical Therapy, Joe Schreiber, Perri Stern

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

The term “evidence-based practice” (EBP) has become ubiquitous in physical therapy practice. Since the mid 1990s, over 70 articles have been published in the physical therapy literature relating to EBP. Many physical therapists agree with the notion that scientific evidence should be utilized to guide practice decisions. However, for physical therapy clinicians, there are numerous barriers to EBP. Also, there appears to be a disconnect between academia and clinical practice in terms of the utilization of research evidence to inform clinical decision making. The purpose of this review of the literature is to begin to elucidate and address some of …
