Rehabilitation of the injured runner.
I have attempted to discuss the preventive aspects of running injuries, the use of orthotic devices and their indications, the use of standard physiotherapeutic techniques, medications, injections, and finally surgery in the prevention of running injuries. Return to running and faulty training techniques have also been mentioned.

Techniques in the evaluation and treatment of the injured runner.
Runners and running injuries may be managed in an office setting by the interested orthopedist. Special equipment, such as videotaping, may be helpful but is not essential. The runner's program must be reviewed and any training errors corrected. The treatment of most injuries requires either a reduction in mileage or the temporary cessation of running. During the time of rest, or relative rest, alternative programs such as "running in water" are helpful for maintaining cardiovascular and general condition. Orthotic devices are often used and can help to compensate for some biomechanical imbalances that cause injury. A program for returning to running after an injury has also been suggested.

Comparison of sensory integration and operant methods for production of vocalization in profoundly retarded adults.
Sensory integration, operant and combined therapies were used with 27 profoundly retarded, marginally vocal clients. The sensory integration and combined methods yielded significant increases in rate of vocalizations. The operant techniques also increased rate of vocalizations but the gains were more variable than for the sensory integration procedure and they were positively and highly correlated with pretest rates of vocalization. It appears that sensory integration methods can be an effective method for elicting vocalizations when such behaviors are too infrequent for operant techniques.

The use of visual feedback in establishing normal vocal intensity in two mildly retarded adults.
A voice-activated relay was used to provide visual feedback of vocal amplitude for two subjects who habitually used very soft voices. The relay system caused a light to go on when vocal intensity was 65 dB SPL or greater. Both subjects demonstrated significant increases in their use of normal vocal intensity. One subject was able to transfer this progress to spontaneous conversational settings. Though some difficulties in generalization and automatization were evident, this system is recommended for use with persons exhibiting functional intensity deficiences.
