Sit-to-stand movement pattern. A kinematic study.

A visual model of the sit-to-stand movement pattern was developed from the film data of 38 women and 17 men as they assumed standing from a seated position. We used the data from these film records to identify a representative initial starting position and displacements of body segments for each of 20 equal intervals throughout the movement cycle. Trajectories of data points on the head, acromion, midiliac crest, hip, and knee also were plotted. These diagrams demonstrate the time-space relationships of various body parts during the task. This normalized model may be used by physical therapists as a standard to which they can compare the movement pattern of a patient.

[Respiratory distress syndrome of the adult in the computer tomograph].

Pulmonary changes due to the adult respiratory distress syndrome, which are visualized in the roentgenogram as spreading from the hilus to the periphery, often show a distribution in dorsocentral direction in the computer tomogram, a phenomenon which occurs especially during the oedema phase under the influence of gravity. In addition, there are ARDS developments involving the expected spread from the root of the lung, particularly so with patients of advanced age and with septic-toxic diseases. The causes and significance of these differences are discussed.

Instructional style preferences: physical therapy faculty members in the United States.

The purpose of this study was to describe the instructional styles of physical therapy faculty in basic professional programs in the United States in the academic year 1977-78. The Instructional Styles Inventory of Canfield and Canfield was used to test 311 respondents (61% of the total basic preparation faculty members contacted). The "typical" faculty member is described and compared to the "typical" student described in an earlier study. Commonalities and discrepancies between student learning styles and faculty instructional styles are discussed. A rather unexpectedly high level of agreement between students and faculty as to preferred modes of teaching and learning was demonstrated.
