This page just lets you select different foreground and background colors. As someone with vision problems, I found it really helpful to see how my eyes reacted to the different combinations.

This video discusses how manipulating the brain waves can help treat certain diagnosis. I found it to be very interesting!

This is truly inspiring!!! I am just so excited about helping make a difference in a person's life! This video contains true stories of how occupational therapy has impacted lives.

Here is a website that describes the research that is being done to help older drivers continue to drive in a safe manner. We all know that not being able to drive can limit our independence but can also diminish our quality of life.

This gives a step by step guide on how to apply kinesio tape to help a rotator cuff injury.

Sometimes we are thinking consistently about the patient and not so much about the therapist, the body mechanics used, and the ergonomics to help prevent major problems later on!

We talked so much about this in class! This interprofessional team got together to make this house a home by helping them with aging in place!

This website describes a new piece of technology that helps with the recovery of burn victims. Researchers have found a way to use skin from an undamaged area, place it in a tube with an enzyme and spray the solution in the tube over the burn area to heal the site in a way that is much less painful than having a skin graph. this process can be a better option than a traditional skin graph because it takes less time for the patient to heal from, it can cover a larger portion of damaged skin from a smaller portion of undamaged skin, and the solution takes very little time to prepare.

This website describes the precautions set by the CDC to help with infection control. It also has a diagram with pictures to inform you when certain precautions should be taken.

Dream job! I like how this video shows the before and after affects that the riding had on this guy. It explains what is being affected in different parts of the session, so that helps!

Nice visual aid to help with seeing how and why these exercises work to strengthen the muscles of the rotator cuff.

A guide on what to expect after rotator cuff surgery. This includes some tips on things that you may not have been told about.

Another visual learner alert! This is a very detailed image about rotator cuff tears. It really helped me understand it better to see it and I thought out of all the images I looked up this was the best, and more realistic looking one. It also has just about everything labeled which is really great!

Ok, I admit when I watch this special guy on the stress video Teri posted I couldn't help but think about his life and how things clicked for him? I looked a few more of his vidoes and found he was married and is a very sexual little person. So, I wanted to share what I found. :)

That's great!!!!

The world of prosthesis is constantly growing in technology and this video shows just how far technology has come. The bionics are controlled by neural commands rather than nerve impulses, which allows for a more accurate ambulation. In this video Hugh Herr describes how the bionics are made and what the measuring process is for the patient. I think this will help reinforce what we learned this past Friday about amputated limbs. Also, there is a lot of information as to whom these bionics would be good for and how one may get one.
