Jeanese Murdock Splint Wearing Reflection Paper Over a period of the first two days I wore my splint for six hours. First in the setting of driving and community mobility which was an hour. While at home I wore it for another 2 hours while doing ADLs and IADLs. Also, I participated in the leisure setting for 3 hours. I was only able to sleep in it for two hours. Saturday morning I wore the splint for three and a half hours deer hunting. I must say that the splint was comfortable, but it…

I slow down my breathing to match the rhythm of the steady chink of my shovel as it enters the dirt, almost reaching a hypnotic state. Anything to keep my mind off what is happening. Chink.

If pain, weakness, or both are present, these tests are thought to be positive. Since pain modifies muscle strength, there is a concern about the reliability of the empty can test.1 This concern arises because of the internal rotation of the humerus results in impingement, therefore potentially decreases the usefulness of the test. With the empty can…

After Joe left the small garret that I shared with Herbert Pocket in London, I decided that I must leave at once to inform Mr. Jaggers of my need to visit Estella back at Ms. Havisham’s house. As I was about to step foot into his office, this young girl wrapped in a scarf with a large floppy hat ran up to me and stopped me in my tracks. She quickly asked me if I wouldn’t mind joining her for tea, and before I had time to reply, she pulled me into a tea shop nearby. As we stepped into the shop,…

The American Chiropractic Association states that as many as 30 million Americans suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. Many of these people live in the Seattle area. Typically, most people with low back pain will make an appointment with their family doctor, which often leads to a prescription of anti-inflammatory drugs. These are known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. These drugs can be helpful short-term, but they also come with a myriad of harmful side…
