Scapulothoracic Assessment in Three Simple Steps

Unique Three Dimensional Approach

Scapulothoracic Assessment in Three Simple Steps

Unique Three Dimensional Approach

By: Janet C Delorme

Sometimes, a ‘winging scapula’ reveals a disabling scapulothoracic condition. Sometimes it does not. Often, despite no observable winging, debilitating scapulothoracic conditions go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This “shoulder” problem is poorly understood. Disruption of essential scapular connections within the chest wall results in multiple, seemingly unrelated symptoms, obfuscating the true source of the problem. Scapular dyskinesis can masquerade as a neck problem, a back problem, a chest, head or arm problem. Current musculoskeletal assessments do not identify an isolated scapulothoracic condition unless there is obvious deformity or X-ray evidence of a fracture. In 2012, Janet Delorme, a physiotherapist with over thirty years’ experience in orthopedic assessment and treatment, suffered a peculiar loss of movement and strength in her arm. Only a physiotherapist would puzzle over this problem. Her curiosity and persistence, her specialized knowledge and experience, andher unique opportunity to truly understand this problem from the “inside” has unlocked an entirely new understanding of this complex biomechanical region. This assessment method is presented in an easy-to-use format, and it can be added to an existing assessment protocol. It is designed for any clinician who has the desire to learn how to recognize and manage a condition that may otherwise go undiagnosed.

Presenting Medical Statistics from Proposal to Publication

By: Janet L. Peacock,Sally M. Kerry,Raymond R. Balise

As many medical and healthcare researchers have a love-hate relationship with statistics, the second edition of this practical reference book may make all the difference. Using practical examples, mainly from the authors' own research, the book explains how to make sense of statistics, turn statistical computer output into coherent information, and help decide which pieces of information to report and how to present them. The book takes you through all the stages of the research process, from the initial research proposal, through ethical approval and data analysis, to reporting on and publishing the findings. Helpful tips and information boxes, offer clear guidance throughout, including easily followed instructions on how to: -develop a quantitative research proposal for ethical/institutional approval or research funding -write up the statistical aspects of a paper for publication -choose and perform simple and more advanced statistical analyses -describe the statistical methods and present the results of an analysis. This new edition covers a wider range of statistical programs - SAS, STATA, R, and SPSS, and shows the commands needed to obtain the analyses and how to present it, whichever program you are using. Each specific example is annotated to indicate other scenarios that can be analysed using the same methods, allowing you to easily transpose the knowledge gained from the book to your own research. The principles of good presentation are also covered in detail, from translating relevant results into suitable extracts, through to randomised controlled trials, and how to present a meta-analysis. An added ingredient is the inclusion of code and datasets for all analyses shown in the book on our website (http://medical-statistics.info). Written by three experienced biostatisticians based in the UK and US, this is a step-by-step guide that will be invaluable to researchers and postgraduate students in medicine, those working in the professions allied to medicine, and statisticians in consultancy roles.

A Killdeer Farm Mystery

Praise Quotes for Poetic Justice: "Poetic Justice has it all--a coastal Maine setting, Shakespeare and the Greek gods, characters the reader will want to see much more of--and murder. Get ready to stay up late trying to guess who killed Alfonse Sweetzer--the man so many of his neighbors in idyllic Wyleyville had every reason to hate." - Susan Connelly, author of the Nell Prentice Mystery Series "There's no better setting for a cozy than a library--and librarian Jessie Tyler is an appealing character I hope to read more about. Janet Morgan is a wise and gentle storyteller with the sure hand of an expert angler who hooks readers and keeps them guessing right up to the last chapter of Poetic Justice." - Leslie Meier, author of the Lucy Stone Mystery Series

A Cognitive Neuropsychological Approach to Assessment and Intervention in Aphasia

A clinician's guide

By: Anne Whitworth,Janet Webster,David Howard

This is a second edition of the highly popular volume used by clinicians and students in the assessment and intervention of aphasia. It provides both a theoretical and practical reference to cognitive neuropsychological approaches for speech-language pathologists and therapists working with people with aphasia. Having evolved from the activity of a group of clinicians working with aphasia, it interprets the theoretical literature as it relates to aphasia, identifying available assessments and published intervention studies, and draws together a complex literature for the practicing clinician. The opening section of the book outlines the cognitive neuropsychological approach, and explains how it can be applied to assessment and interpretation of language processing impairments. Part 2 describes the deficits which can arise from impairments at different stages of language processing, and also provides an accessible guide to the use of assessment tools in identifying underlying impairments. The final part of the book provides systematic summaries of therapies reported in the literature, followed by a comprehensive synopsis of the current themes and issues confronting clinicians when drawing on cognitive neuropsychological theory in planning and evaluating intervention. This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the assessment and treatment of verbs as well as nouns, presenting recently published assessments and intervention studies. It also includes a principled discussion on how to conduct robust evaluations of intervention within the clinical and research settings. The book has been written by clinicians with hands-on experience. Like its predecessor, it will remain an invaluable resource for clinicians and students of speech-language pathology and related disciplines, in working with people with aphasia.

Taking the Waters in Texas

Springs, Spas, and Fountains of Youth

By: Janet Mace Valenza

This historical study reveals a fascinating yet forgotten aspect of life in nineteenth century Texas—its once-famous mineral spring health spas. Southern Texas once boasted an enviable variety of mineral waters. Though most are closed and nearly forgotten today, Texas spas and resorts once drew thousands of visitors from across the country. They came seeking rejuvenation of body and spirit in the healing mineral waters. This book offers the first comprehensive history of Texas’ healing springs. Janet Valenza tracks the rise, popularity, and decline of the "water cure" from the 1830s to the present day. She follows the development of major spas and resorts, such as Mineral Wells and Indian Hot Springs near El Paso, as well as smaller, family-run springs. Valenza also describes how mineral waters influenced patterns of settlement, transportation routes, commerce, and people’s attitudes toward the land. Period photos and quotes from those seeking cures offer vivid glimpses into the daily life at the springs, which Valenza lists and describes county-by-county in the appendix.

Saint Maggie

By: Janet R. Stafford

It is 1860. Maggie, a widow with two teenage daughters, runs a rooming house smack dab on the town square. This fact alone makes her a social outcast boarding houses are not exactly respectable. And her collection of eclectic boarders a failed aging writer, an undertaker's apprentice, a struggling young lawyer, and an old Irishman only brings her snubs and snide comments, as does her friendship with Emily and Nate, an African-American couple with whom she shares her home and chores. So Maggie is stunned when she is asked to provide a room for Jeremiah Madison, the new Methodist minister. She hopes that he will revive the little church that she attends, as well as provide her boarding house with a badly-needed aura of respectability. Jeremiah is gifted and charismatic. But he has a secret, one that will change Maggie, her friends, and her town forever.

A Bibliography of Female Economic Thought up to 1940

By: Kirsten Madden,Michele Pujol,Janet Seiz

Contributions to female economic thought have come from prolific scholars, leading social reformers, economic journalists and government officials along with many other women who contributed only one or two works to the field. It is perhaps for this reason that a comprehensive bibliographic collection has failed to appear, until now. This innovative book brings together the most comprehensive collection to date of references to women’s economic writing from the 1770s to 1940. It includes thousands of contributions from more than 1,700 women from the UK, the US and many other countries. This bibliography is an important reference work for systematic inquiry into questions of gender and the history of economic thought. This volume is a valuable resource and will interest researchers on women's contributions to economic thought, the sociology of economics, and the lives of female social scientists and activist-authors. With a comprehensive editorial introduction, it fills a long-standing gap and will be greeted warmly by scholars of the history of economic thought and those involved in feminist economics.

Leadership for Sustainability in Higher Education

By: Janet Haddock-Fraser,Peter Rands,Stephen Scoffham

Sustainability is a complex concept, and the challenge of understanding it and applying it to a diverse, multi-agent, organisational setting with its potentially conflicting priorities cannot be underestimated. Leadership for Sustainability in Higher Education provides key learning from the authors' extensive academic, leadership and professional experience in this area, supplemented with reference to key learning from other leaders and institutions. Janet Fraser-Haddock, Peter Rands and Stephen Scoffham bring together the wide range of influences and considerations to succeed, including: · an understanding of the core constructs of leadership theory and sustainability · the range of perspectives through which to view and value sustainability · successful activities and actions undertaken by sustainability leaders in the higher education sector · models and methods to successfully implement sustainability that are new to the sector · influencers on the sustainability agenda, whether policy- or demand-led, external or internal · barriers to and enablers of success for leaders at individual, institutional and sector levels These factors all combine to provide a framework for the reader within which to consider leadership for sustainability, both at an individual level and within the higher education culture and organisational norms. The authors provide a theoretical underpinning of key concepts, supplemented by examples of practice across the sector, both within the UK and internationally. Case studies from the UK, Australia, North America and India all bring to life the key opportunities and challenges of leading the sustainability agenda across a range of higher education institutions.

Intimacy in Emptiness

An Evolution of Embodied Consciousness

By: Janet Adler

A profound inside experience of the transformative potential of the Discipline of Authentic Movement • Offers insights from the author’s 50-year study of the inner witness developing toward compassionate presence, intuitive knowing, and direct experience of the divine • Illuminates how commitment to this mystical practice supports participation in evolving consciousness within groups, grounded in personal healing The Discipline of Authentic Movement, grounded in the relationship between a mover and a witness, connects us directly with the inner wisdom of the body. In the emptiness of the movement space, a mover’s inner experience--feelings, sensations, images, and thoughts--become outer, unchoreographed gestures. Seen by their inner witness in the presence of an outer witness, the mover steps into the intimate mystery of who they are becoming. Sharing vivid examples from founder of the Discipline of Authentic Movement Janet Adler’s 50-year inquiry, Intimacy in Emptiness brings her essential writings, including new and previously unpublished work, to a wider audience, guiding readers through the multiple layers of this experiential and innovative approach to embodied consciousness. Her writings illuminate the path of the developing inner witness, transforming toward compassionate presence, conscious speech, and intuitive knowing. This contemporary mystical practice, a breakthrough in the field of consciousness studies, includes personal healing as an essential base from which direct experience of the numinous can safely emerge, be witnessed, and become integrated into the fullness of the whole person. The emergence of the unique gesture and voice of each individual develops toward participation in consciously embodied groups. A new form of intelligence moves through collective bodies in service of healing in our world.

Looking After Miss Alexander

Care, Mental Capacity, and the Court of Protection in Mid-Twentieth-Century England

By: Janet Weston

In July 1939, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, fifty-nine-year-old Beatrice Alexander was found incapable of managing her own property and affairs. Although Alexander and those living with her insisted that she was perfectly well, the official solicitor took control of her home and money, evicted her “friends,” and hired a live-in companion to watch over her. Alexander remained legally incapable for the next thirty years. In the mid-twentieth century, Alexander was one of about thirty thousand people in England and Wales who were, at any time, legally “incapable” and under the auspices of what is now the Court of Protection. Focusing on the period between the 1920s and the 1960s, Looking After Miss Alexander explains the workings of the court, using Alexander’s unusual case to consider the complexities of this aspect of mental health law. Drawing on Court of Protection archives – some of which were made publicly available for the first time in 2019 – and micro-historical methods, Janet Weston also highlights the role of chance, subjectivity, and uncertainty in shaping how events unfolded then, and the stories we tell about those events today. An engaging and accessible history of mental capacity law, Looking After Miss Alexander examines ideas of citizenship and welfare, gender and vulnerability, care and control, and the role of the state. It also offers reflections on historical research and writing itself.

Poetic Justice

A Killdeer Farm Mystery

By: Janet Morgan

When cantankerous old Alfonse Sweetzer is found murdered in the art room of the Wyleyville Public Library, the list of suspects could include this whole Maine village. His rude and arrogant behavior has made him the least liked man in town. But topping the list of suspects is library director Jessie Tyler. Not only does she have the means and the opportunity, she has a powerful motive. Two years ago her husband was mowed down and killed by Sweetzer while the older man was driving his robin egg blue Cadillac. Sweetzer was given a slap on the wrist by the court, and the man continued his hazardous driving habits, while showing no remorse for his actions. Before the death of her husband, life had been close to perfect for Jessie who lives at Killdeer Farm, her dream house in the country. Inherited from her grandparents, the farm takes her back to better days when she shared it with family. Jessie can't let Sweetzer get the best of her even in his death. With her neighbor Cassie, the two attempt to solve the murder before Jessie or her son is hauled away in handcuffs.

Resident Alien

Feminist Cultural Criticism

By: Janet Wolff,Professor Emerita in the School of Arts Languages and Cultures Janet Wolff

In this book of critical writings, Janet Wolff examines issues of exile, memoir, and movement from the perspective of the female stranger. Wolff, born in Great Britain but now living and working in the United States, discusses the positive consequences of women's travel; the use of dance (another form of mobility) as an image of liberation; whether exile or distance provides a better vantage point for cultural criticism than centrality and stability; the place of personal memoir in academic writing; and much more.

Cross-Cultural Practice

Assessment, Treatment, and Training

By: Sharon-Ann Gopaul-McNicol,Janet Brice-Baker

Developed primarily in the consulting rooms and universities of Europe and North America, traditional forms of psychological assessment and treatment are not up to the task of dealing with today's culturally diverse patients. In an increasingly multicultural society, where basic terms such as "normality" and "family" can have radically varying definitions, it is not unusual for well-meaning clinicians to inadvertently misclassify unfamiliar behaviors or beliefs as abnormal or pathological. Ultimately, the solution lies in educational reform. In the meantime, a major first step toward ensuring that ethnically different patients receive quality mental health services is the adoption of culturally sensitive assessment and intervention models such as those described in this pathbreaking book. The culmination of its authors' many years of experience in working with culturally diverse patients, this timely guide arms practitioners with an array of innovative—yet clinically grounded—approaches to psychological assessment, intervention, and training. With the help of numerous case examples drawn from their work with Asian, Caribbean, African American, and Hispanic clients, Drs. Gopaul-McNicol and Brice-Baker illustrate a four-step approach that entails assessing problems within their familial and sociocultural contexts, and then tailoring interventions that take full advantage of the religious, social, educational, familial, and legal institutions that shape an individual's experiences and beliefs. The authors begin with a trenchant critique of traditional mental health training, in which they expose built-in cultural and historical biases that effectively hobble a trainee's ability to think multiculturally. They next explore a range of assessment issues, describe clinically validated techniques for treating culturally diverse children, parents, and couples, and outline best practices in report writing for linguistically and culturally diverse clients. In their discussion of clinical issues that arise when dealing with culturally diverse families, they detail a proven Multicultural/Multimodal/Multisystems (Multi-CMS) approach to intervention. Returning to the topic of education in the final section, they outline the major competencies needed to develop a trainee's multicultural skills, and offer valuable training suggestions for professors and clinical supervisors. Describing a dynamic new approach to cross-cultural assessment and treatment, Cross-Cultural Practice is valuable reading for both professionals and students in mental health. A dynamic new approach to cross-cultural assessment and treatment The Global Village presaged by Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s has arrived with a vengeance. For many mental health professionals this brings with it the daunting challenge of working with patients with a vast array of beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors. This groundbreaking book helps clinicians meet the challenge of assessing and treating diverse clients by arming them with a bold new multicultural approach. Using numerous case examples drawn from their years of practice with Asian, Caribbean, African American, and Hispanic clients, the authors: Describe proven techniques for assessing culturally diverse children, parents, and couples Develop a proven Multicultural/Multimodal/Multi-systems (Multi-CMS) approach to intervention Expose the cultural biases at the core of conventional mental health training Outline the major competencies needed to develop a trainee's multicultural skills and develop alternative approaches to clinical training

Gender in Modern East Asia

By: Barbara Molony, Janet Theiss, Hyaeweol Choi

This comprehensive text covers the history of women and gender in Japan, Korea, and China in the early modern and modern eras by examining the dynamic histories of sexuality; gender ideology, discourse, and legal construction; marriage and the family; and the gendering of work, society, and power. The authors take the unique approach of locating gender history within a society's national history as well as describing its role in an integrated history of East Asia. In addition, this book examines the global context of historical changes in these countries and highlights cross-cultural themes that transcend national boundaries. For example, themes or concepts such as "writing, " "the body, " "feminism, " "immigration and diasporas, " and "Confucianism" are part of an integrated history. The authors capture the flow of ideas, people, materials, and texts throughout these three countries in an easily accessible way for students"--

The Mysterious Winging Scapula

A Recovery Plan for Therapists and their Patients

By: Janet Delorme

This book was written by a physiotherapist who became the patient. From her unique perspective, Janet Delorme recognized and understood a complex problem that might otherwise go undiagnosed. Do these symptoms sound familiar? * Cannot tolerate repetitive/forceful arm movement, especially overhead. * Arm feels “weak” * Fatigue, shortness of breath, sense of arm “disconnect” or a twisted body * Pain in shoulder but also in the back, neck, arm or head. These symptoms suggest instability of the chest wall, the most familiar cause of which is long thoracic nerve palsy. With an unstable chest wall, diagnostic tests of the “shoulder” are often negative and complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath are unsubstantiated from a medical perspective. This complex problem will often require patients and therapists to work together. This book was written for both the therapist and the patient. It provides insightful information about this condition and explains how to modify activities and lifestyle to manage symptoms and restore a “new normal”. The book also teaches key elements necessary for recovery: movement principles and exercise programs. Not all people recover. Many make a full recovery. Both outcomes are addressed with advice for every step of the recovery process.
