Abstract:
Adolescents with identified orthopedic impairments are often less likely to participate in social activities outside of the school setting. However, the adolescents who are able to participate in activities have higher social skills, more academic successes, and show more satisfaction in their roles as family member or friend. The aim of this study was to look at adolescents with orthopedic impairments and their level of participation in social activities. Also looked at was the adolescent’s report of a higher level of fulfillment in their family or friend role if they participated in social activities. Responses of adolescents from a national school-based survey were used in the study. The results revealed that students with orthopedic impairments were just as happy as their peers when they participated in social activities.

Abstract:
The aim of our study was to identify if the AutoCAD application may be useful for evaluation during active movements of the body segments (lower limb), and how an orthopedic problem influence the normal pathway. The assement of range of motion is still problematic, especially when the body components is moving. Determining changes in the angles of motion dynamic is important in guiding the intervention plan. The evaluation methods are not enough objective all the time and many details could be not observed during different ADL (activities daily living). The AutoCAD (Auto Computer Aid Design) application was a valid instrument in order to realise the biomechanical analyse in case of knee arthritis. The analyze of moving components is possible using video frames and AutoCAD processing.

Abstract:
Introduction The accumulation of glycosaminoglycan (GAGs) in the tissues in Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) can lead to skeletal anomalies (DYSOSTOSIS MULTIPLEX) and to soft tissue impairments (neural or medullar compression, joint stiffness, tenosynovitis). Here is a review of orthopedic issues frequently encountered in patients with MPS. Material and methods Surgery may be justified at different age and according to the type of MPS. Different surgical approaches and their indications are exposed in the article. Results The article exposes indications and techniques for orthopedic issues in MPS children: cervical stenosis, cervical instability, kyphosis, hip dysplasia and hip dislocation, genu valgum. Conclusion Various musculoskeletal anomalies can be found in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses. Neurological impairments are frequently seen due to cervical stenosis or instability and should be early detected with regular MRI of the cervical spine. Well-codified management should lead to favorable functional results and maintain functional and walking abilities.

Abstract:
This study explored the impact of race/ethnicity on three of the four essential characteristics of self-determination—autonomy, self-realization, and psychological empowerment—directly assessed in the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2. Specifically, the impact of race/ethnicity was examined with six disability groups established in previous research: high incidence disabilities (learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, speech language impairments, and other health impairments), sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impairments), cognitive disabilities (autism, multiple disabilities, and deaf-blindness); intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury, and orthopedic impairments. Measurement equivalence was established across groups, but significant differences in the latent means, variances, and covariances were found suggesting a complex pattern of differences based on race/ethnicity within disability groups. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:
Background: Pakistan is experiencing a rise in its elderly population leading to increase burden of orthopedic injuries. With meager resources and a poor understanding of elderly health problems; Pakistan faces many challenges in caring for its elderly population. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to, “Assess the frequency of orthopedic injuries among elderly persons and the associated risk factors at Sheikh Zayed Medical College/ Hospital Rahim Yar Khan”. Study design and duration: This was an analytical observational study conducted among the elderly patients above the age of 60 years, admitted in the Orthopedic Department of Sheikh Zayed Medical College/ Hospital Rahim Yar Khan. Methodology: The data was collected regarding the frequency, causes and pattern of orthopedic injuries in elderly patients admitted in the Orthopedic Department of Sheikh Zayed Hospital / Medical College Rahim Yar Khan. The data regarding age, sex, education, occupation, geographical origin, and mechanism of injury were obtained by questionnaire. The data was analyzed on SPSS version 16. Results: There were total 1589 patients admitted in the Orthopedic Unit during the study period. The elderly persons above the age of 60 years were 291(18.31%). There were 184(63.24%) males and 107(36.76%) females. The average age was 64.52 years in urban residents and 66.34 years in rural residents’ patients. Among the frequency of injuries, the femoral neck and inter-trochanter region were most commonly involved. The proportion of injuries in males it was 44.02% and in females it was higher that was 49.53%. The majority (68.29%) of the elderly persons was dependent and was not satisfied with socio-economic condition and status in the family (p < 0.000). Conclusions: Elderly patients who have experienced trauma are at increased risk of subsequent injury. Interventions to reduce the likelihood of trauma recurrence should focus on those with chronic illnesses and functional impairments.

Abstract:
Abstract: One of the most persisting sequelae of closed head injury (CHI) is a general slowing of information processing. With neuropsychological testing, the effect is already apparent in simple reaction time tests. The slowing is more pronounced in complex tasks requiring divided attention. This study aims at explaining impairments in divided attention in terms of reduced speed of information processing, and impaired mental flexibility. Three types of mental flexibility are proposed: Stimulus driven (four choice reaction time and auditory reaction time task), memory driven (Trailmaking B test), and strategy driven flexibility tasks (continuous tracking task and arrow identification task). Divided attention paradigms were studied in 26 subacute CHI patients and 25 orthopedic control subjects. Results demonstrated that a reduced speed of information processing was largely responsible for divided attention impairments. Additional impairments in complex divided attention tasks only emerged in the most complex tasks (that is in the strategy driven flexibility task).

Abstract:
Background and Purpose For many years, ultrasound (US) has been a widely used and well-accepted physical therapy modality for the management of musculoskeletal conditions. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence on its effectiveness. This study examined the opinions of physical therapists with advanced competency in orthopedics about the use and perceived clinical importance of US in managing commonly encountered orthopedic impairments. Subjects Four hundred fifty-seven physical therapists who were orthopaedic certified specialists from the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States were invited to participate. Methods A 77-item survey instrument was developed. After face and content validity were established, the survey instrument was mailed to all subjects. Two hundred seven usable survey questionnaires were returned (response rate=45.3%). Results According to the surveys, the respondents indicated that they were likely to use US to decrease soft tissue inflammation (eg, tendinitis, bursitis) (83.6% of the respondents), increase tissue extensibility (70.9%), enhance scar tissue remodeling (68.8%), increase soft tissue healing (52.5%), decrease pain (49.3%), and decrease soft tissue swelling (eg, edema, joint effusion) (35.1%). The respondents used US to deliver medication (phonophoresis) for soft tissue inflammation (54.1%), pain management (22.2%), and soft tissue swelling (19.8%). The study provides summary data of the most frequently chosen machine parameters for duty cycle, intensity, and frequency. Discussion and Conclusion Ultrasound continues to be a popular adjunctive modality in orthopedic physical therapy. These findings may help researchers prioritize needs for future research on the clinical effectiveness of US.

Abstract:
This review examined the literature on physical activity measurement among individuals with disabilities utilizing Yun and Ulrich’s (2002) view on measurement validity. Specific inclusion criteria were identified. The search produced 115 articles; however, only 28 met all specified criteria. Findings revealed that self-reports and accelerometers were the most common approaches to measuring physical activity, and individuals with orthopedic impairments, those with mental retardation, and those with other health impairments received the most attention. Of the 28 articles, 17 (61%) reported validity and reliability evidence. Among those studies reporting validity, criterion-related evidence was the most common; however, a number of methodological limitations relative to validity were observed. Given the importance of using multiple physical activity measures, only five (18%) studies reported the use of multiple measures. Findings are discussed relative to conducting future physical activity research on persons with disabilities.

Abstract:
Writing is an important skill that is necessary throughout school and life. Many students with physical disabilities, however, have difficulty with writing skills due to disability-specific factors, such as motor coordination problems. Due to the difficulties these individuals have with writing, assistive technology is often utilized. One piece of assistive technology, speech recognition software, may help remove the motor demand of writing and help students become more fluent writers. Past research on the use of speech recognition software, however, reveals little information regarding its impact on individuals with physical disabilities. Therefore, this study involved students of high school age with physical disabilities that affected hand use. Using an alternating treatments design to compare the use of word processing with the use of speech recognition software, this study analyzed first-draft writing samples in the areas of fluency, accuracy, type of word errors, recall of intended meaning, and length. Data on fluency, calculated in words correct per minute (wcpm) indicated that all participants wrote much faster with speech recognition compared to word processing. However, accuracy, calculated as percent correct, was much lower when participants used speech recognition compared to word processing. Word errors and recall of intended meaning were coded based on type and varied across participants. In terms of length, all participants wrote longer drafts when using speech recognition software, primarily because their fluency was higher, and they were able, therefore, to write more words. Although the results of this study indicated that participants wrote more fluently with speech recognition, because their accuracy was low, it is difficult to determine whether or not speech recognition is a viable solution for all individuals with physical disabilities. Therefore, additional research is needed that takes into consideration the editing and error correction time when using speech recognition software.

Abstract:
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is an umbrella term used to refer to the range of negative outcomes associated with prenatal ethyl-alcohol exposure (PAE). Although the impact of maternal drinking on the pre and postnatal development of children was examined as early as the late 19th century (Sullivan 1899), the teratogenic effects of PAE were not widely recognized until 1973, when Jones and Smith discussed PAE. The fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) they described is now recognized internationally as a permanent birth defect syndrome resulting from PAE. Fetal alcohol syndrome is characterized by growth deficiency, a unique cluster of three minor facial anomalies, and evidence of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. At an estimated prevalence of one to three cases per 1,000 live births, FAS is the leading known preventable cause of developmental and intellectual disabilities (Bailey and Sokol 2008). Because the distinctive FAS facial phenotype provides a specific diagnostic marker of PAE (Astley 2006), FAS is the most readily recognized of the FASD. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders that lack the tell-tale facial phenotype of FAS are more difficult to diagnose, but share a similar range and severity of CNS impairments and social costs. Other FASDs are many times more prevalent than FAS (Bailey and Sokol 2008) and may occur in as many as 1% of all children. Along with CNS, craniofacial, and growth impairments, FASD may also include ophthalmologic, cardiac, renal, and orthopedic abnormalities. Although heavier PAE, particularly binge drinking, leads to increased risk of FASD, no safe exposure level has been established. It is apparent that risk is substantially increased if the mother is older, has a history of alcoholism, has a family history of FASD, or is living in poverty. However, no clear set of risk or protective factors has been determined for any FASD that would allow for evidence-based advice to a particular mother on the relative risk that a particular level of drinking might have on her child’s development (Bailey and Sokol 2008; Jacobson et al. 2004; Maier and West 2001; Nulman et al. 2004; see also Disney et al. 2008).

Abstract:
A number of pathologies impact on the way a patient can either move or control the movements of the body. Traumas, articulation arthritis or generic orthopedic disease affect the way a person can walk or perform everyday movements; brain or spine issues can lead to a complete or partial impairment, affecting both muscular response and sensitivity. Each of these disorder shares the need of assessing patient’s condition while doing specific tests and exercises or accomplishing everyday life tasks. Moreover, also high-level sport activity may be worth using digital tools to acquire physical performances to be improved. The assessment can be done for several purpose, such as creating a custom physical rehabilitation plan, monitoring improvements or worsening over time, correcting wrong postures or bad habits and, in the sportive domain to optimize effectiveness of gestures or related energy consumption. The paper shows the use of low-cost motion capture techniques to acquire human motion, the transfer of motion data to a digital human model and the extraction of desired information according to each specific medical or sportive purpose. We adopted the well-known and widespread Mocap technology implemented by Microsoft Kinect devices and we used iPisoft tools to perform acquisition and the preliminary data elaboration on the virtual skeleton of the patient. The focus of the paper is on the working method that can be generalized to be adopted in any medical, rehabilitative or sportive condition in which the analysis of the motion is crucial. The acquisition scene can be optimized in terms of size and shape of the working volume and in the number and positioning of sensors. However, the most important and decisive phase consist in the knowledge acquisition and management. For each application and even for each single exercise or tasks a set of evaluation rules and thresholds must be extracted from literature or, more often, directly form experienced personnel. This operation is generally time consuming and require further iterations to be refined, but it is the core to generate an effective metric and to correctly assess patients and athletes performances. Once rules are defined, proper algorithms are defined and implemented to automatically extract only the relevant data in specific time frames to calculate performance indexes. At last, a report is generated according to final user requests and skills.
