Included will be a chart summary, a list of goals from the therapist and myself, as well as details about the treatment plan that was implemented. Teaching techniques that worked and did not work with the patient, and personal areas of challenges and strengths that were reflected on by working with the patient will also be discussed in this paper. Therapist’s Goals and…

Correct posture is essential for correct body movement. Without correct posture, muscle imbalances and non-contact injuries may occur. One of the most used screening tests to find these imbalances within an individual is the Functional Movement System (FMS) according to McCall, Carling, Davison, Nedelec, Le Gall, Berthoin, and Dupont (2015). The Functional Movement System is designed to recognize potential weaknesses and risk of injury (Cook, 2010). Therefore, it will be vital for health…

The indigenous peoples of the James Bay Cree society have encountered numerous tribulations through the course of their lives. Adaptations to the Cree lifestyle have been made for the compromise of the government of Quebec. However, the Cree has fought to keep their way of life, of living off the land’s resources by protesting against projects put in place by Quebec’s government, such as plans to increase profits from the production of hydroelectricity.

Even with medical treatments that are provided to decrease spasticity and inflammation, patients still fail to fully recover post stroke. However, with rehabilitation provided by Physical therapists and their assistants we’re able to decrease the functional deficits that accompany a CVA. My patient is a 41 year old male who had been brought to our acute care hospital due to a…

bottom of C2. Starting at approximately 31 centimetres and disappearing at 39 centimetres depth, C3 had 20 artifacts in this small layer of space. Faunal remains consisted primarily of bone fragments from long bones, with notable artifacts being a scapula fragment (#127) and the distal end of a tibia (#122). Many carpals and tarsals were found in this level. The number of lithic remains was much greater at this level compared to the very slight amount in previous cultural levels. Finds include…

Among human beings are small microscopic life-forms that exist everywhere throughout the world. Those microscopic life forms are known as bacteria. Bacteria can survive in the coldest or hottest temperatures around the earth. Known to be unicellular, bacteria live within human bodies and also in the food we eat. Not only that, they are everywhere. Bacteria plays a major role in the human body. For an example, it is bacteria located in the intestines that help with food digestion. Even though…

Kaylina “Wally” Nies ANT4525L - Killgrove December 3, 2014 Skeletal Report Many of the medical skeletons that are used for analysis in ANT4525L: Human Osteology come from the Middle East region.

B-cells differentiate into plasma cells which are mainly found within the bone marrow. Bone marrow is found in many types of bones including long bones such as the femur and humerus, and flat bones such as the bones of the cranium and the scapula (American Cancer Society, 2014). When plasma cells continue to grow, it can create the disease called an isolated plasmacytoma which means there is only one tumor, but when there are a multitude of these tumors, it is termed multiple myeloma. (American…
