Joey Bagodoughts is seen in your clinic for a motor control problem of the foot and ankle. As you develop a PT program for him and establish a HEP you begin to notice a few other signs: steppage gait pattern, increased lordosis, difficulty climbing stairs, unable to consistently lift his head when supine against gravity, difficulty rising from the floor.  You immediately begin to realize that something else is going on. What are the things you are considering in your differential diagnosis?

What are Psychophysiological Disorders?  How do they differ from most of the disorders discussed in this chapter?

What is the difference between a matching design and a repeated measures design?

Assume: (Use t-table to solve) N = 21; α = .05 (2-tailed test)         What is tcrit___________________? N = 16; α = .01 (1-tailed test)         What is tcrit ___________________? N = 10; α = .05 (1-tailed test)         What is tcrit___________________?

When computing a confidence interval, whether 2-tailed or 1-tailed, always use _____________-_______________ critical value

  A physiologist has conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of Hormone X on aggressive behavior. Ten rats were injected with Hormone X, while ten other rates received a placebo injection. The number of aggressive attacks (fights) were counted over a 45 minute period. The following results were obtained:       Group 1                                           Group 2   Hormone X                                         Placebo                                                              8            7                                                5            8    10          9                                                6            6    12          8                                                3            5    6             7                                                4            4    6            11                                              7            8   Should the physiologist use an independent t-Test or a related samples t-Test? Explain your answer. What are the independent and dependent variables? What are Ho and Ha ? Calculate tobt Using

A researcher investigates whether daily exercise alters long-term stress levels. On a national survey, the mean stress level of those who do not exercise is 56.35. For a sample of 10 participants who exercised daily for two weeks, the researcher obtained the following stress scores: 40          59          48          36          44          43          45          45          32           37 What are the conditions of the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What are Ho and Ha ? What is the value of tobt ? With
