The hot headed and brass attitudes of the players and this documentary, does not take the typical approach to disability. Instead it takes a “wondrous” approach, “capitalizing on physical differences in order to elicit amazement and admiration” (Garland-Thomas 545). The viewers gain a feeling of respect and awe for the players because they “inspire the viewer by performing feats that the nondisabled viewer cannot imagine doing” (Garland-Thomas 545). Most people see disability as something that will never be recovered from, but this movie and these men challenge the viewer to see the strength behind

Paralyzed Veterans of America is a nonprofit organization serving for veterans founded in 1946. This foundation, unlike other ones, has developed a unique and deep research on the diverse and several issues that veterans have been going through when suffering spinal cord injuries or dysfunctions produced at war times. Paralyzed Veterans of America was born when a group of soldiers injured at World War II reunited to service their disable fellows. Paralyzed Veterans of America recruits members with energy, experience, dedication and passion to enhance the aims of the organization.

The featured film documentary called ‘Murder Ball’ directed by Dana Ruben and Alex Shapiro focuses on Mark Zupan and Joe Soares life of a Quadriplegic person. I have responded to the main characters and their situations including how they make me feel about the lives of Quadriplegic people and how they deal with it during their lifetime. My overall impressions about Mark Zupan and Joe Soares lives as a quadriplegic has encouraged me to respond not to feel sorry for them but to gain respect and be inspired .I will be discussing the film techniques to support my ideas in the documentary.

Through the almost 100 years of occupational therapy as a profession, occupational therapy have gone from a profession focused only on the mentally ill patient to a profession that is targeting a broad range of population ranging from the special needs population, to veterans, and people with different diseases and physical disabilities or injuries. It is inspirational to know that this profession started based on the ideology that “even the most challenged are entitled to consideration and human compassion” (O'Brien, 2012). Likewise, it is fascinating that occupational therapy played such an important role in both of the world war as reconstruction aides focusing on rehabbing the soldiers and helping veterans recover during post-war period

Jerry Kenny came in and talked to us about his disability, how it happened when it happened, who all it has affected, and how adapted from it. Jerry’s disability is that he is a double amputee of both hands.

My project is on the adaptive technologies provided to disabled veterans that have lost a limb or have lower extremity injuries. We have seen an increase in the numbers of disabled veterans throughout the past decade in a half due to prolonged wars and military tactic’s used by the enemy. Our soldiers escape the ultimate price only to come back with missing limbs and scars of the hell they faced on foreign soil. Their fight will continue as they muster the energy and patience to conquer their disabilities on the painful road to recovery. The commonality of war in this generation is the social trend that has resulted in these traumatic experiences. There has been lots of headway concerning adaptive technology for the disabled over the years. Prosthetics and Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) are only a few of the many technologies offered.

The show is a police drama series that will kick off for 2 hours for the premiere on the 14th of January, 9 pm. The week after that, the show will be moved to 10 pm as it moves forward. This is to give way to another NBC show called the Blacklist, which went on hiatus for 2 months.

Watching Aimee Mullins TEDMED video: The Opportunity of Adversity and reading the study by Beardwood, Kirsch and Clark: Victims Twice Over: Perceptions and Experiences of Injured Workers, and then reflecting on the feelings expressed uncovered both similarities and differences. The feelings expressed regarding their personal experiences have clearly contrasting elements. However Aimee and the workers, both felt strongly about the restrictive impact of society’s marginalization of their changed abilities through use of the label “disabled”. As a 1 year old child, Aimee had both of her legs amputated below the knee, in the video she eloquently articulates her approach to life as a bilateral below the knee amputee, against society's view of a disabled person.

For some amputees, there may be a physical and emotional pain with the lost of a limb. Bionics may not look and feel like a biological limb, but it comes close in providing the functions and fills the blank space of a missing limb. Providing individuals with bionic prosthetic technology assists in the reduction of health care cost by enabling an individual to maintain an appropriate activity level. Bionic limbs “enables people to return to work and other important daily activities faster and easier than before” ( Hixenbaugh, 2010, p. 721). With the use of bionics an amputee can walk with a natural gait and reduce the occurrence of stress on other joints ( Hixenbaugh, 2010, p. 725). This alleviates the chance of chronic or acute pain. An amputee can achieve a close to normal or normal metabolic energy exertion and reduced the amount of energy exerted from the amputee ( Hixenbaugh, 2010, p. 725). This may give the wearer the ability to withstand longer minor physical activities, such as walking for longer periods of time. Individals that wear BioM walk at 23% faster than the speed of wearing a traditional prosthetic ( Hixenbaugh, 2010, p. 725). This gives an amputee to walk at a natural speed. Through the use of external input bionics use, amputees gain the ability to safely walk on different terrains and stairs. Overall bionic prosthetics improve quality of life for amputee veterans as well as other individuals with

The first part of the premiere will be aired on Friday, June 3 while the second part will be broadcast on June 5, Sunday. Both will have the same time slot of 8:30 p.m. ET.

On June 9th, our hearts hung heavy when we lost the cherished actor, Adam West. He left us at 88 but left us with a lifetime of legacies. Batman (1966) was not the only influential character he played. The eccentric Mayor Adam West from Seth Macfarlane's Family Guy pays a tribute to their major of Quahog. He appeared in over a 100 episodes and always enriched the moment.

He states, “The loss of a limb is traumatic, and I experience waves of sorrow and regret. I struggle with continual pain in my residual limb, and am trying to learn how to walk with my prosthesis. My work as a physician has been put on hold (Frederick, 2013).”

This applicant describes the limits of the field he plans to pursue: "However, in time physical therapy became the logical focus of my attention for a number of reasons. For one, I have memories from a very young age of my grandfather in Czechoslovakia, disabled by a stroke, his problems unmitigated by any attempts at physical therapy. I will never forget the devastating consequences of this." He goes on to describe ways
