Listening to Charlynn and Debbie talk about what they have built and the reason they built it is absolutely amazing. The compassion they both have about the horses and the people they help, touched me deeply. As we…

hot pink. She sat on the end of the table, starring at me and my peers as we walked into the unit to greet everyone, then she would shift her focused and stared at the wall. I can tell that she has Parkinson’s at the first glance, she has unsteady gait, which required the walker to ambulate. I went over and introduced myself and asked if I can sit down next to her. She said, “yes” without any hesitation. Her tone of voice was somewhat trembling but clear at most of the time. Her thoughts were…

theme of take advice from people with experience in different ways. The theme of take advice from people with experience developed in “The Cry of the Wolf” because in the passage it states”the wolves began to move, swiftly but inaudibly, in a loping gait. They were running toward Sinwai! His legs weak and shaky beneath him, Sinwai deliberated: would the leader attack him?

Mackenzie Johnson BIO 220-6 October 14, 2015 Parkinson’s Disease The topic that has been chosen for my research paper is Idiopathic Parkinsonism or Parkinson’s disease (PD). Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that typically will progress slowly (3). It affects the nervous system of mostly elderly people and there is no cure for it. The major symptoms of PD include slowed movement, muscle stiffness, and tremors. “On average, about 1 to 2 out of 1,000 people have Parkinson’s”…

to forty-five degrees and it should be made known the importance of being able to do a straight leg extension as early on in recovery as possible. Going in to the second week, the therapists should be having their athlete or patient begin moderate gait training, mobility, and very minimal aerobics. It is very common for the therapist to preform some type of soft tissue treatment at the end of each appointment to help remove unwanted scar tissue and regenerate the growth of muscles and tendons…

Using these tools can help determine areas for concern and areas that are adequate. After using these tools, a better idea of the patient’s health as a whole can be determined.

while walking we are balancing between the constant input we are receiving from our external environment while at simultaneously maintaining our gait. The more attention demanding the input is while walking, such as texting or talking requires more cortical resources. Overloading cortical resources can result in impairments in either input task itself, gait stability, or both (Malcom et al., 2015). This shows the importance of attention in cognitive function. With ageing there has been research…

All Physical therapy interventions were chosen with the unique nature of this patient’s condition in mind. Interventions were designed to address the patient’s impairments and functional limitations in order to facilitate safe participation in ADL, transfers, and ambulation without pain and mobility limitations. A detailed table can be found in the appendix where innervations and parameters for all seven sessions are listed as well as rationale and patient reports/findings. The overall plan of…
