Negative Effects of ESWT on Bones and Lateral Epicondylitis Gisselle Molina Diaz Keiser University Negative Effects of ESWT on Bones and Lateral Epicondylitis Physical therapy is an essential part of the healing process of the human body. A big scope within physical therapy practice is the use of modalities. The main point of modalities is to transform energy from one form to another and take it as an advantage to heal damage tissue. According to research there is no evidence that encourage therapist and doctors to discontinue the use of this modality. On the other hand, there are some studies that refer to the sides effects on specific treatments and the risk of use it right following a bone fracture. Although the ESWT has reported great applications on tissue healing, the side effects of ESWT in tennis elbow (also known as lateral epicondylitis) and the cause of bone growth and immediate fracture after the acute stage, show that ESWT might not be the appropriate modality to treat those conditions.

overall quality of life of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but there was not as large of a difference compared to the control group as they hypothesized (Lanning et al., 2014).

(2012) did a pilot study to evaluate the effects of equine therapy on self-regulation behaviors, adaptive skills, and motor skills of school age children to adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This study had 42 participants that were split up into groups of three to four to…

I believe that Mr. Rachels would agree with my argument above. In his article titled “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” he explains two scenarios; a case involving a patient with incurable throat cancer, and another involving a baby with Down’s syndrome and a easily treatable intestinal blockage. Though these arguments cover a wide range of cases, they don’t appear to apply to Ms. Reese’s case. Throughout James Rachels’ discussion of the morality of active versus passive euthanasia, he fails to…

doctor, the patient is administered to either surgery or physical therapy depending on which option the patient chooses. Both the options in almost all cases do help improve the pain of the patient, but the question is which option is responsible for the most improvement…

There were a lot that I learned through the sessions. I am not completely sure which theoretical model I will be engaging yet, but the humanistic approach is preferred. I like both existential and person center therapy. Humanistic theories and Carl Roger attracted most of my attention when I learned about them in my undergraduate courses; I knew this would be the theory that I want to pursue. After learning about various humanistic therapies, existential therapy and person center therapy are the…

in several studies to the outcome of therapy sessions. The strong the alliance or relationship between the therapist and client the more successful or positive the results of therapy will be for the client (Falkenstrom, Granstrom, &, Holmqvist, 2013),(Whinston,Rossier, & Baron, 2016)(Sackett & Lawson, 2014). What more important is the client’s perception or measure of the strength of the alliance. If the client perceives or feels less bonded to the goals, tasks, or the therapist then the therapy…

Generally, CBT is considered as culturally adaptable treatment model and in the literature, several studies support this claim. For instance, Pantalone, Iwamasa, Martell (2010), stated that multicultural therapy and CBT are easily adaptable because these two approaches are based on the idea that case conceptualization must be individualized. Also, Hays and Iwamasa (2006), in their book, identified and explained the most significant factors (spirituality, political history, racism, family…
