Six types of carbon plantar plates were compared, with heels and without heels, with 2 layers, 3 layers, and 4 layers.As a result, the low arch foot showed a low spring constant and a high viscous damping coefficient. In the comparison of 6 types of carbon plantar plates, the one with heel showed high spring constant and viscous damping coefficient. The value closest to the normal arch was the 3-layer carbon plantar plate without heel.It was thought that the low-arch foot had a reduced spring function that absorbs impact. The carbon plantar plate with heel cup clearly shows high values of spring constant and viscous damping coefficient, which means that hard to sink the heel.The reason for this is presumed to be the influence of the soft tissue of the heel is likely to collapse due to the heel couter.The carbon plantar plate used this time was not able to compensate for the impact class function of the normal arch foot, so further examination was necessary. However, this research has a small number of subjects, so it is necessary to increase the number of subjects and investigate again. As a future task, we will consider increasing the number of subjects.","PeriodicalId":413567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Practices and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129594388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Interprofessional Collaborations: Delivering Quality Home Care Services to Patients who are Elderly","authors":"D. Stapleton","doi":"10.33790/jrpr1100128","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33790/jrpr1100128","url":null,"abstract":"This article underscores the importance of inter-professional collaborations when providing home care services to patients who are elderly. The extant research literature illuminates the advantages of inter-professional collaborations in healthcare settings. Benefits such as patient satisfaction, seamless care coordination, and improved health outcomes have long been acknowledged. However, when these care collaborations occur within the home milieu, other patient benefits are evident to include: (a) decreased hospital readmissions; (b) improved daily functioning; (c) reductions in health costs; (d) better informed decision making by providers; and (d) more accurate patient assessments. This review article accentuates inter-professionalism and best practices when caring for persons who are elderly in their home environment.\u0000\u0000Keywords: Inter-professional, Home Care, Home Care for the Elderly Objective: To educate the readership on the benefits of using an inter-professional approach when providing home care to patients who are elderly.\u0000\u0000Method: A systematic review of the literature is presented which examines inter-professional home care practices with patients who are elderly. The author conducted an electronic literature search for peer-reviewed articles published between 2001and 2021 using the following data bases: EBSCO Host, E-Journal, Academic Search Premier, ERIC, Academic Search Complete, and ScienceDirect. Eighty percent of the articles reviewed were published within the last seven years. The delimitation of extending the review to the past 20 years ensures relevance to the population being studied and health system contexts. The search strategy included select key words (inter-professional approach, home care, home care for the elderly), either separately or in combination. The literature selection process resulted in the inclusion of 49 journal articles in this review.\u0000\u0000Results: The extant literature provides a clear rationale for using inter-professional collaboration when serving patients who are elderly in the home setting. More inclusive research is needed in order to better delineate the notions and needs of diverse disciplines (e.g., pharmacy, nutrition, speech pathology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, counselors, psychologists, etc.) and to guide more meaningful collaborations. Lastly, a more inclusive theoretical model capturing the key workings of inter-professional collaboration processes is needed.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: This review article accentuates quality components and best practices for serving elderly persons (inter-professionally) in the home environment. A number of key recommendations are made to more systematically improve team-based care. This article will serve as the foundation for a professional book on inter-professional collaboration. At least 8 disciplines will be invited to contribute a chapter to the book. These contributions will provide a medium for formal inter-professional education.","PeriodicalId":413567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Practices and Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124042249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus was on the role of therapy treatments used in trauma transcendence and the extent to which evidence-based information, theory, and generalizability are—can/ should be—involved. Our methodological analysis and theoretical discussion of extant research evidence focused on (a) models of trauma transcendence, (b) the multivariate, scientific nature of evidence-based therapy treatments/outcomes, (c) the need to have tailor-made trauma treatments that allow for individualized patient variability, (d) therapists’ skill-limitations/strengths, and (e) the need for methodical, systematic approaches to trauma transcendence. Our conclusions show that evidence-based approaches are needed, but limits remain in generalizability of findings. We also recognize a need for multipronged approaches to trauma transcendence, from trauma-informed approaches, to reducing the shortage of therapists, increasing methodological-clinical sophistication in the public sphere, and addressing the multivariate nature of trauma. Finally, we suggest that navigating trauma transcendence should be a process that goes beyond the homeostatic state.","PeriodicalId":413567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Practices and Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134647010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rosario, Carley Bowman, Aleena Jose","doi":"10.33790/jrpr1100112","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33790/jrpr1100112","url":null,"abstract":"Neuromuscular timing activity on ankle musculature in young adults during single and dual-motor tasks accompanied with altered sensory conditions. Abstracts Previous literature has extensively analyzed neuromuscular patterns in various neuromuscular populations as well as during complex balance conditions that involve a secondary task. Purpose: This inquiry aims to identify whether challenging the sensory systems in young adults during single and dual-motor tasks can elicit changes in neuromuscular patterns at the gastrocnemius (GA) and tibialis anterior (TA). Methods: Our study consisted of twenty-nine healthy young adults (3 males and 25 females) with an average age of 24.3+/-2.4. Electromyography (EMG) electrodes were utilized to collect EMG data. The variables of interest include the onset of muscle contraction, the decay of muscle contraction, peak muscle activation, and duration of muscle contraction. The distinct balance tests consisted of four single and four dual-motor tasks where participants were instructed to maintain balance on a foam surface while concomitantly altering their sensory input. Results: Overall, no signific ant changes in EMG activity were demonstrated during the different tests, though some substantial alterations in EMG patterns were identified during dual-motor tasks. Fluctuations in EMG patterns during dual-motor tasks were much higher in GA than TA, with higher average onset during eyes open (p=0.01), higher decay of contraction during eyes closed (p=0.01), and longer duration of activity during eyes open with head movements (p=0.001). Conclusion: Though the invariability of EMG patterns during single tasks implies intact sensory and motor systems in young adults, the variability in EMG patterns during dual-motor tasks indicate the presence of dual-task interference, requiring additional postural mechanisms to maintain balance. Future studies should compare EMG response during dual-cognitive and dual-motor tasks and the cortical involvement during dual-motor tasks.","PeriodicalId":413567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Practices and Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114665977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professional associations have expressed concern and taken action in ways to combat high levels of student loan debt. What has not been discussed is the lifetime earnings, debt, and retirement (or loss thereof) which would produce an overall lifetime return on investment (ROI) for the graduate and associate’s degree levels of careers in physical therapy and occupational therapy.\u0000\u0000Method: A literature review on student loan debt in the United States was performed. Specifically, statistics were obtained from various sources relative to the fields of physical and occupational therapy. Salaries and salary projections were obtained for both graduate and associate’s/technical degree levels in physical and occupational therapy. Data was calculated to obtain overall cost of education (tuition plus debt-based interest), lifetime earnings of salary, and available retirement contributions when replacing contributions with potential loan repayment.\u0000\u0000Results: Literature review showed that while value can only be determined subjectively, current career projections and cost of education for obtaining graduate degrees in physical and occupational therapy have an overall negative return on investment in relation to lifetime earnings. By comparison, the associate’s degree level of training provides for a relatively high lifetime earning and high return on investment when factoring in a debt-to-income ratio and lifetime potential retirement earnings.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Value can only be determined by the one pursuing a degree or career goal. However, numeric and financial data shows that the lifetime earnings and overall investment in a graduate career in physical therapy and occupational therapy is negative when compared to the associate’s degree level.\u0000\u0000Limitations: Limitations of this review are the lack of consideration of loan forgiveness, as well as grant funding from research groups, Pell grants, and other methods of loan payment or repayment. Also not taken into account for these calculations are the career burnout rates for physical and occupational therapy professionals.","PeriodicalId":413567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Practices and Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126400352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
