Re: why is no one writing?

Hi, I am a recent graduate, so although I do not work in your area, I have an
idea of what frames of reference you maybe using.
1.  biomechanical frame of reference - focuses on purposeful activities to
remediate loss of ROM, strength, and endurance.
2.  neurodevelopmental frame of reference - addresses axial control,
automatic reactions, and limb control.  Common techniques are inhibition and
facilitation
3.  rehabilitation frame of reference - focuses on compensation techniques
when underlying deficits cannot be remediated.  Methods include:  adaptive
devices, UE orthotics, environmental modifications, adaptive procedures, and
safety education.

I hope this helps.  These are the basic FOR we focused on in our phys dys
classes.  I too hope the site spends more time discussing more basic
information such as treatment ideas,etc.  As a new therapist that would help
me a lot.  I hope you enjoy your student.  Lisa
