Abstract:
This article explores why there is a decline in the growth rate of recreational therapy while there are substantial increases in other therapy professions and recreation workers. The growth numbers of the recreational therapy profession are at a normal growth rate of 7 percent for all occupations according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The growth rate from the Occupational Handbook for 2010-2011 projected a growth rate of 15 percent. The growth rates for occupational therapy, “therapists, all others” and recreation workers are higher than recreational therapy projected by BLS at 20 percent or higher. Possible considerations as to causes for this change in growth are proposed.

Abstract:
To provide effective recreational therapy for clients who have collectivistic cultural values and beliefs, recreational therapists need to recognize cultural differences and understand how each cultural background affects a client’s health beliefs and behaviors. The goal of this article is to examine different cultural perspectives to improve cultural competence of recreational therapists to provide more effective recreation programs for clients who have collectivistic cultural values and beliefs. This article represents three basic different frameworks: the meaning of self; cultural meanings of happiness; and the relationship between therapists and clients.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine if a recreational therapy program decreased substance craving scores among youth at a juvenile detention center. Existing data from three male and three female youths’ craving scores, recorded before and after four recreation therapy interventions per week, were used to obtain the results of the two research questions over an 8-week period. This secured substance abuse treatment program utilized the Craving Identification Management (CIM) model. The craving scores identified by the youth prior to and following all of the recreational therapy activities were analyzed through descriptive statistics to determine the effectiveness of recreation therapy (RT). Results of the research project indicated that recreational therapy may be an effective intervention for lowering the craving scores of youth in a secured substance abuse treatment program.

Abstract:
The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the connection between complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and social identity, and describe the implications for recreational therapists. C-PTSD occurs when someone, typically a child, is exposed to multiple and varied traumatic events, or endures chronic exposure to the same traumatic event. This can lead to difficulty forming an individual identity and difficulty with forming attachments, making it challenging to identify with particular social groups. Because recreation and leisure is often a context where identity is formed, recreational therapists are in a position to holistically approach the treatment of C-PTSD using leisure and recreation to strengthen people’s sense of self as well as their sense of belonging to particular groups.

Abstract:
This article explores the work of the American Therapeutic Recreation Association's (ATRA's) Geriatric Treatment Network (GTN). For the past 4 years, the GTN has worked to develop recreational therapy competencies for older adults based on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, which stated that the existing workforce was ill equipped to meet the needs of an aging America. Industry-wide competencies developed by the Association for Gerontology and Higher Education (AGHE) and the Partnership for Health in Aging (PHA) are highlighted as necessary knowledge needed for a trained workforce. To adequately meet the needs of older adults, the recreational therapist is encouraged to find resources and educational opportunities to implement industry-wide and recreational therapy competencies.

Abstract:
Recreational therapists who have developed a level of understanding and awareness of other cultural norms, specifically East Asian cultural norms, will be better prepared to accurately interpret assessment results, to establish a treatment plan, and to implement the therapeutic recreation process within a recreational therapy setting. These therapists are more likely to provide effective healthcare services which will enhance the quality their clients’ lives. In addition, the development of assessment processes that take into consideration the therapist’s own cultural identity as well as the patient’s cultural orientation, primary language, level of acculturation, acculturation stress, level of functioning, family relationships, support systems and concepts, and definitions of health, disease, healthcare utilization, and healing are necessary to foster successful therapeutic relationships and recreational interventions with East Asian clients.

Abstract:
The use of permanent prompts for individuals with severe disabilities has been shown to be effective in acquiring new skills, improving the accuracy and maintenance of existing skills, and in eliminating the need for trainer prompts. However, this technology has not been evaluated for its potential impact in promoting leisure participation. In this study, two men with mental retardation were administered auditory and/or visual prompts to investigate their effect on increasing participation in a leisure activity. In addition, their performance was evaluated to establish whether continuous versus intermittent schedules of the prompts would influence participation. The data were collected using a partial interval observation system and evaluated using a multiple baseline and an alternating treatment design. While both men increased their participation modestly in the leisure activity, there was no substantial difference between the two prompting schedules.

Abstract:
Risk Factors for Low Back Pain in Recreational Distance Runners By Jonathan E. Gallas Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine differences between runners with and without low back pain and a control group of non-runners in demographic, physical/running, and LBP variables. Subjects. This study included 102 subjects in three groups. Subjects, 18 to 55 years old, were from a running store, sports club, and physical therapy clinics in Rockford, IL. Methods. A pilot study of ten runners with LBP was conducted prior to data collection to assess testers’ reliability. One hundred and twelve runners, with or without LBP, who run 20-30km/wk for at least one year were recruited. Runners with LBP are defined as one with a current episode of LBP for 2 weeks but less than 6 months. Subjects completed the informed consent form and demographic and training variable questionnaire prior to data collection. This study utilized demographic and physical/running variable data. Additional data was obtained on lumbar flexion/extension AROM, Biering-Sorensen test, passive lumbar extension test, right and left side bridge, and the Beighton Scale. An ANOVA test was performed to assess for group differences. T-tests, Mann Whitney U, and Chi square tests were conducted to determine differences among running groups. Results. Significant differences were found in the side bridge test between the control group and both running groups, Biering-Sorensen test between the control and runners without LBP, and BMI between the control and runners with LBP. Group differences were found between runners with and without LBP in days/wk, rest days/wk, years run, and marathons run. Group difference were also found in km/wk of running and age among running groups. Discussion. Further research is needed in runners with LBP to determine why they were able to run more miles, take less rest days, run more marathons, and more years. Future studies should address the characteristics of runners that allowed them to demonstrate greater trunk muscle endurance and core muscle stability and be prospective and longitudinal in nature. Key Words. low back pain, recreational distance runner.

Abstract:
Rock climbing has been growing increasingly popular in the United States and around the world. Rock climbers frequently climb in the presence of fear and anxiety. Often climbers make mistakes while climbing that increase the potential for accidents and injuries. One area in which behavioral interventions have targeted sports performance is through the use of acceptance and commit training methods. Research has suggested that components of ACT may improve athletic performance such as present moment awareness, values clarification, and acceptance of challenging thoughts while performing. Studies have looked at the effects of training athletes within various sports such as basketball, powerlifting, swimming and golfing. Common skills that have been targeted include flow, attention to task, and goals/values identification. At this time, there has not been any research examining the impact of ACT on rock climbing performance. The current study examined the effects of ACT on rock climbing performance in two participants who frequently engaged in recreational rock climbing in a multiple baseline design across participants. Participants received ACT lessons prior to climbing and were assessed on falls and errors, speed, and heart rate. Results for both participants demonstrated improvements in decreasing falls and errors and increasing speed. There was no effect seen on heart rate. A second component of feedback on errors was added for participant one to further reduce errors.

Abstract:
A person with tetraplegia has lost the ability to willfully control his/her arms and legs, usually due to a severe spinal cord injury. Existing technologies using head motion or puffs of breath to control device movement promise increased mobility and the possibility of expanding recreational activities in a variety of forms to this population. Lack of access to rehabilitative services and engaging recreational activity fosters inactivity. This often creates an environment that causes individuals with physical disabilities to experience reduced function and mobility beyond the cause of their disability, and further disengages them from society 1. Adaptive sports are increasing in popularity and provide many benefits to participants.

Abstract:
This paper is a case study that highlights our concern for increasing the quality of life of the child with diabetes, using telemedicine devices. The central objective is to emphasize the efficiency of the Omnipod wireless insulin pump in the case of a child who, together with the diabetes care team, appropriately manages this metabolic disease and whose treatment also includes physical exercise. Our interest is oriented towards proving the effects derived from the practice of physical exercises on decreasing the amount of insulin administered during the days when the child participates in motor activities, through computerized monitoring. The research was conducted at the Bucharest DiabNutriMed Clinic of Diabetes, from September to November 2015. As research methods, we used: bibliographic study, observation, case study. Data were collected using the computerized DEXCOM Platinum G4 continuous glucose monitoring devices, the Omnipod wireless insulin pump and their related software programs, and the Diasend platform for downloading the data. We present the case of a child with diabetes who has been using a wireless insulin pump since June 2015. We mention that this child is included in the target group of the project sponsored by Vodafone, "Telemedicine and the insulin-dependent child", obtained by the DiabNutriMed Clinic,which aims to introduce advanced technology, with sensors for continuous glucose monitoring, 24hours a day, which eliminates the need for daily injections to measure the glucose levels. During our study, the child participated regularly in physical exercise programs, three times a week, outside the school schedule, practicing activities such as swimming and dynamic games. Information about the child's glucose level and its evolution trend was sent to a web platform and visualized in real time by the family and the diabetes physician, who provided guidance on treatment. According to the indications, the family could remotely administer insulin using the wireless insulin pump with remote control, while the child was carrying out educational and recreational activities uninterruptedly. It was found that, during the days of participation in motor activities, the amount of insulin decreased, its administration being even suspended when the child showed a tendency towards persistent hypoglycemia, which is impossible to achieve in the insulin therapy administered with an insulin pen, where, once administered, insulin cannot be stopped any more over its entire duration of action, 4 to 6 hours (for rapid insulin). Recording these beneficial effects of physical exercises on the child with diabetes entitles us to state that the Omnipod wireless insulin pump represents not only an instrument for insulin administration, but also a possibility of individualized management adaptable to the activities of the child from minute to minute, which allows him/her free access to various activities. In conclusion, we consider as efficient the use of telemedicine devices for the child with diabetes, because it facilitates a good control of this disease and brings more hope in his life.

Abstract:
Abstract. In an era of ubiquitous electricity dependence, the need for a reliable and portable power source is increasingly vital. This proposal advocates for the development of a solar-powered portable device capable of harnessing solar energy to charge itself and subsequently supply power to various electronic devices. The envisioned solution aims to address critical scenarios such as emergencies, where access to electricity is crucial, as well as recreational activities like camping, especially in remote locations. The proposed portable power bank will be equipped with solar panels for efficient energy absorption, ensuring self-sufficiency and sustainability. The device will feature both DC and AC outputs, catering to a wide range of electronic gadgets, thereby enhancing its versatility. In the event of a disaster, this innovation could prove invaluable by providing a reliable source of electricity when traditional power infrastructure is compromised. Moreover, in recreational settings, such as desert camping in locations like Saudi Arabia, users can harness the power of the sun to charge their devices in the open, offering convenience and environmental friendliness. This solar-powered portable energy hub embodies a step towards fostering energy independence and resilience in the face of unpredictable circumstances, catering to both emergency preparedness and everyday scenarios.

Detailed and accurate studies require an analysis of the results obtained with at least an average time interval, which was carried out in this study of the environmental situation in the area of the city of the Baltic region. The results obtained can identify the main areas of greater pollution, enabling new planning of communication systems in small towns, as well as avoiding negative effects on the body of residents, thereby improving overall health. The data was obtained using a mobile laboratory and high-precision equipment, based on international standards for parameter measurement techniques. According to the results of the research, trends were found to reduce particulate matter up to 10 microns, depending on the seasons, by more than 10%. The noise level in most of the area remains unchanged, or gradually increases due to large traffic flows. In contrast to the recreational area, the greatest increase in pollution in the residential area found PM10, NO2 and benzene, by 30%, 39% and 72% respectively. In the area adjacent to the road infrastructure, concentrations of benzene, ethylbenzene and toluene were 37–54% higher than in the recreational area. The average concentrations of other pollutants were lower.

Abstract:
A torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the more frequently occurring knee injuries plaguing both athletes and the general population [1]. This injury typically results in severe knee instability thereby limiting the activities the injured is able to perform. Currently, surgical reconstruction is the most common option to restore knee stability and allow the injured subject to return to full functionality (i.e. participation in athletic and recreational activities as desired). However, small populations of individuals who rupture their ACL forego surgery yet still remain fully functional [2]. We hypothesize that these subjects, referred to as “copers”, alter the control strategy of the muscles crossing the knee joint to compensate for their ACL-deficient knee.

Abstract:
The primary goal of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-cost reverse engineering system to recreate a physical, three-dimensional model of a human hand. In order to achieve the goal of this research, three key objectives were fulfilled: (1) the first objective was to recreate the physical model of the human hand using a low-cost experimental setup (<$5000), (2) the second objective was to assess the ability of the reverse engineered hand to perform common tasks of everyday life, and (3) the third objective was to investigate the potential biomedical applications of the reverse engineered human hand. A chosen test subject had his or her hand molded and cast into a plaster three-dimensional model that could be held steady and scanned very precisely by a NextEngine Desktop 3D Scanner. Other methods could have been employed to achieve the scanned model, but given the experimental setup and timeline a casted model was assumed to be the most appropriate method to achieve the best results. The plaster casting of the subject’s hand was scanned several times using different orientations of the model relative to the stationary 3D scanner. From these scans, a computer CAD model of the human hand was generated, modified, and 3D printed using a Makerbot Replicator 2. The printed model was evaluated by its ability to perform common every-day tasks such as picking up a cup/bottle, holding a pen/pencil, or opening/closing around an object. Several iterations of the printed human hand were evaluated in order to determine the best design for the fingers’ joints and cable-driven motion system. The first iteration of the printed hand featured a snap-in joint system. This joint design suffered from requiring a large number of individual pieces and poor tolerances of the Makerbot printer. The second iteration featured a press fit style joint system. This system was hindered by tolerances similar to the first iteration as well as plastic deformation of the printed material due to inadequate elasticity. The third and final iteration of the joint system featured a single printed assembly for which the entire prosthetic could be printed at one time. It was expected that the hand would be able to translate the rotational movement of an individual’s wrist to tension the cables of the motion system thereby closing the fingers into a first. This movement will allow the user to close the prosthetic hand around everyday objects and pick them up with relative ease. Although the possibilities of reverse engineering and 3D printing systems have greatly expanded as a result of greater affordability and increased accuracy, their applications in the biomedical field have yet to be fully explored.

Abstract:
Abstract The impact of geometric variation of compressor airfoils due to manufacturing scatter and operational effects on the aerodynamic performance is a well-addressed topic in the research field of turbomachinery. Thereby, the airfoils’ leading edge (LE) shapes are highly relevant to their aerodynamic behavior, potentially causing increased losses and separation. In previous probabilistic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses, the LEs were usually modeled as semi-circles or semi-ellipses, whereas their noticeable deviation from these simplified shapes is given comparatively little attention. The study at hand aims to fill this gap by introducing a parametric model for the quantification and parametric recreation of the variability of high pressure compressor (HPC) LE shapes. A set of digitized mid stage HPC rotor blades originating from several jet engines with differing fields of operation are used for the demonstration of the introduced approach. The individual LE 2D-contours are extracted on multiple sections over the blade’s height and compared to a symmetric reference shape. This yields characteristic difference curves enabling the detailed quantification of the variability with a minimum amount of parameters. The derived parametric model allows the statistical reproduction of the measured variability, which is geometrically and aerodynamically validated in the following. The approach’s capabilities in regard to probabilistic CFD analyses are demonstrated by conducting and evaluating two- and three-dimensional flow simulations. Furthermore, the observed geometric variability is linked to the rotor row’s aerodynamic behavior highlighting its importance for the performance variance of HPC rotors.
