The Role Of Motivation And Cognition In Adults With Schizophrenia, Jaime Willard, Evangeline Abraham
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
Our work is based around the holistic nature of the field of occupational therapy. This evidence-based project initially began, at the request of our community partner, with the intention of finding one or more assessments that may help identify the cause of a lack of motivation among group home residents at Tri County Mental Health in Lewiston, ME who suffer from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental illness that is now diagnosed as a spectrum disorder. It is characterized by distortions in the perception of reality and impairments in cognition and motivation. Schizophrenia can be categorized into three …

The Experience Of Social Workers Who Utilize Therapy Dogs In Practice, Kathryn Jochems
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
Animal assisted therapy, which incorporates animals into structured therapeutic interventions, and its use within social work has been shown to increase social interactions, communication, and the overall health and safety of clients (Nimer & Lundahl, 2007). However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the professional and personal experiences of individual social workers with incorporating certified therapy dogs into their practice. This study examined the approval process, perceived effects on practice, perceived effects outside of practice, and future implications of using therapy dogs in social work through the analysis of qualitative data from seven in-depth interviews with licensed social …

The Bench Press is said to be the most important of all upper body exercises (Deaton, Ras, 2019). This exercise incorporates several of the muscles in the upper body and is included in training programs for several different sports and activities. The participants of this study were 30 college males, each with at least 1 year of previous training experience and no previous injuries or disabilities that would impair bench press performance. Each of the 30 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of three groups with 10 participants in each group: close grip bench press (100% shoulder width), moderate grip …

Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are extremely prevalent injuries in the collegiate baseball setting. HSIs require plentiful rest and rehabilitation to regain the normal functions of the injured leg meaning athletes will not be able to participate in competition. Time loss from sport has negative effects on the injured athlete and their team. For these reasons, it is important that athletes receive the best possible treatment to get them back on the field as quickly and safely as possible. Eccentric strength training has been shown to be the most effective rehabilitation and injury prevention measure for HSIs. Eccentric training is often …

Carrying loads is essentially learned through nurture and the environment you live in. Humans at one point in their lives utilize this method of carrying loads to achieve a specific task. Military service personnel make use of this method quite often in their daily work environment. Military personnel are accustomed with being injured and the recovery process which follows. All studies reviewed, revealed that there is a correlation between lower extremity problems and load carrying force. This research was done on military service members to find the exact motion that load becomes an issue for basic movement (walking, jogging, and …
