1.     You are working with Jane, a CVA patient that presents with Stage 4 Brunnstrom spasticity throughout their LUE.  Patient has severe cognitive deficits. You are educating the primary caregiver on how to perform an UE PROM program to maintain ROM. Your education would include:

You are completing a mat evaluation for your patient with a traumatic brain injury on the Rehabilitation Unit. The patient is maximal assistance for transfers. Sitting balance is poor.  Patient has Stage III pressure ulcer on the sacrum. Patient is found to be in a posterior pelvic tilt, thoracic kyhphosis and convexity to the left in the trunk.   The misalignments in trunk and pelvis are found to be flexible during the mat evaluation.  Your recommendations for seating include:

Which of the following is not a unit that angular velocity can be measured in?

b) How long have the second student and her boyfriend Artyom been toghether?

The ____________ is the property of a body that determines its resistance to rotate (angular motion).

Part 2 – Using the data from the table on page 2, solve the problems below using the first central difference method. (20 points)   Hip kinematics. The horizontal velocity of the right hip at frame 6 The vertical velocity of the right hip at frame 6 The horizontal acceleration of the right hip at frame 6 The vertical acceleration of the right hip at frame 6 Knee kinematics. The horizontal velocity of the right knee at frame 6 The vertical velocity of the right knee at frame 6 The horizontal acceleration of the right knee at frame 6 The vertical acceleration of the right knee at frame 6     Discussion What phase of gait is this? (e.g., If swing, what aspect of swing) Justify your answer using the data from your results.  

Name two facts that are interesting about the life style of men in the fifth category (according to paragraph 5).

Moment of inertia about a specified joint is a fixed non-variable quantity.

An OT is working in a dedicated brain injury unit with a client who sustained a traumatic brain injury and is currently functioning at a Rancho level III.  This client has begun to reach towards familiar objects with maximal tactile cueing from the therapist.  Which piece of equipment would be best to incorporate into sensory stimulation for this client?

Part 1 – Using the proportions from the table on page 2. (20 points)   Calculate the shank mass of a person who weighs 65 kg. Calculate the center of gravity of the shank, given that the proximal end (the knee) of the shank has the coordinates (7.30, 46.8) cm and the distal end (the ankle) has the coordinates (-8.00, 9.00) cm. Calculate the knee’s moment of inertia about its center of gravity for an 65kg person using table from slide 45. Given that the proximal end (the hip) of the thigh has the coordinates (-12.80, 83.3) cm and the distal end (the knee) has the coordinates (7.30, 46.8) cm. Determine the moment of inertia about the proximal end of the segment using the parallel axis theory. Determine the moment of inertia about the distal end of the segment using the parallel axis theory.
