Kenyon, Lisa K., and Mary T. Blackinton. "Apply Motor-Control Theory to Physical Therapy Practice: A Case Report." Http://ehis.ebscohost.com.librarylink.uncc.edu. University of Toronto Press, 1 July 2011. Web. 28 Feb. 2012. This scholarly journal entry is written by two authors and was published through the Press of the University of Toronto and I found the article through a research data base in the J. Murrey Atkins Library. The two authors of this journal, article begin to tell how in the past therapist, doctors, etc. did not know that physical therapy can also help with motor-skills. It would be in more use to children with cerebral palsy and other desies alike. But it would allow for therapist to coordinate certain body parts with the motorskills that the child also needs help to improve with. They base this off of the three elements of motor control which are the task, the environment, and the individual. (pg.347). The two authors said they observed this at an elementary school play ground on the slide approximately 20 minutes from the physical therapy office (pg.347). They would break this task of a child climbing up a latter in order to get to the top of the slide into which extreminities the child would use, either upper or lower of the body. They would then show how they all work together to get the child up the slide while he or she was also focusing on the other children around them too. It helped the patient to learn how to work his body along with his motor-skills to be able to allow them to get up the slide. This article would most deffintely benefit my topic, in the future this type of information could be used to help people with other physically handicapped diseases, not just cerebral

It could also be used in the occupational therapy field with people who have been in some type of accident and must now learn to talk and walk again they would be able to learn how to coordinate the both again.

Web. 24 Feb. 2012. http://www.putmebacktogether.com/ This site talks about how smart phone applications help physical therapist. It allows not only for physical therapist to be able to communicate with one another via phone call, video, text, etc. But it allows for them to download applications to their phone which could range anything from pictures of different movements of the body to the ROM measurements. This also would greatly help physical therapy students. It will allow them to study no matter where they are, help them when they may be questionative about something they are about to do at their internship or job. It also can allow therapist and students to video call one another. They can talk about a patient and actually show them what is going on not just try to explain it through a phone call. It can also help to diagnose certain problems such as muskuloskelatal conditions which they would have not know by just looking at a patient. This would greatly benefit my topic and me personally. It would allow for me as a student to better prepare myself for situations that I am unsure about. It also could help me to be able to stay in contact with my professor or boss when I am confused or in need of help.

Rome.Matt.Peterson.Eric.Friday.Allison.Woorden.Quinn.Physical Therapy Nation.Web.28 Feb.2012. http://www.physicaltherapynation.com This website that I have found is something you would not have been able to find in the past, it is a site for any physical therapist or aspiring physical therapist to join. When you join this site it allows you to join into open discussions, which are also on their group on Facebook. You are allowed to visit their store and purchase anything you like. There are also videos and a lot more which you are available to through their site. It allows for there to be open conversation about any questions you may or if you would like to share something you know. This is very beneficial it allows for you to communicate with other people who are also in the same or simmular situation you are in. This site also allows you to a study part of the site to find any information you may need to help you with your school work or anything else or if you just want to know certain information. This site would benefit my proposal because it shows how technology such as the internet and computers are allowing people to be open to many more opportunities which they would have not had the option to use in the past. You can communicate with people across the country or world through this site, and get their opinions on something you may need help with. Unmhsc. Physical Therapy Doctoral Degree Program at UNM.

2010. Web. 28 Feb. 2012. <http://www.youtube.com/ >.The publisher of this video is form the University of New Mexico. The school decided they wanted to better provide for prospective students of the future. The Professors and students in this video talk about the benefit of bringing in the full doctoral program for students who would have had to

go to another school in order to get the full doctoral which they need. The program offers students to be able to start the classes they would normally begin once they are in the doctoral program, as a freshman. Meaning these students would still have the basic classes of kinesiology but then also classes with more of the physical movement so they can go ahead and begin learning certain aspects of therapy that will be benefitial at an earlier year in college, rather than wait until they are in grad school. This article benfits my proposal. It shows how in the future more schools will probably adopt this program. In the past schools never did this you would have to find a doctorate school which would provide you with the degree you need for whichever aspect of therapy you wish to go into.

Dana, you had some very good arguments throughout your bibliography and made some good points. Im curious as to what other kind of interesting information youll be able to find as it pertains to technology changing the way we can use physical and occupational therapy to get patients healthy again. I am not sure as to how your last bibliography relates to technology and therapy? I believe you should elaborate a little more so that we can get an understanding of how your sources tie into technology. You should go back and read over how we are supposed to format our citations and make sure that youve answered all of the questions listed in the assignment sheet. Also, make sure you read over your paper because there are a couple of grammatical errors. Overall, your paper is pretty good. You just have to make some minor adjustments to it.
