Psychodynamic Disability

Describe the effects that having a physical disability can have on a person’s day to day life

The amount of people who live with disabilities is a controversial number. Depending on what law and diagnostic tools used, a person may have a visible disability, or one that may lie beneath the surface of his or her appearance. Some people believe that the term “disability” is merely a label use to hold back, or prescribe helplessness. Meanwhile, individuals who have been properly diagnosed with disabilities struggle to maintain respect and acceptance every day. In plain language, there is a lot of misunderstanding between people with disabilities and those without. It is firstly important to get everyone on the same page regarding the definition of disability.

1. Outline the history and development of the medical, social and psycho-social models of disability

Life can change in a split second when an unanticipated injury or disease hinders someone’s normal daily life. Modern medicine, physicians and families can only do so much but physical therapy can help recoup the life many of us take for granted. It often isn’t until we lose something that we as humans realize what we had such as the value of our body’s ability to take us through each day. A physical therapist is the person who stays with a patient for the duration of the rehabilitation process. A physical therapist leads the patient through the process of regaining physical strength and helps the patient regain control of their future. Much like many careers that involve interaction with individuals, physical therapy reaches beyond

Multiple conditions and disabilities can affect an individual’s emotional and physical wellbeing.   They may require extra support and encouragement with any activities they undertake, which could be a combination of both mental and physical disabilities. They will also need empathy and support with any emotional needs they may have.

Watching sport documentaries, reading athlete books, and writing or blogging about personal experiences is soothing and keeps the mind off the injury. For many sport documentaries, injury and coming back is a common theme. Films such as the climbing documentary Meru, the ski film Into the Mind, and the road cycling biography, Pantani: The Accidental Death of A Cyclist, all include some element of injury and redemption. Many athlete’s written biographies, whether runners, skiers, or climbers, also have experienced painful injuries and found a way to return. Failure and hurt is a very common theme in many athletes’

A well thought-out routine is more likely to ease the patient make them feel comfortable, often speeds up the process of treatments. Physical disability often involves loss or reduction in one or more abilities. While a Physical Therapist works with patients in an attempt to recover some of these functions. Thus, “The best part of being a PT is seeing someone improve their life because of the help that I’ve Provided.”(Harasymiw pg.58). Additionally, a motivating and humble perspective can help give patients gain confidence they need to begin

To illustrate, I will first analyze the severity of the injury by determining whether or not it is a permanent or temporary injury. By doing so, it would allow me to dictate which program I must design for the individual. In other words, if my patient has an injury that may be permanent, I must structure a program that will be effective for a long course of duration. Then I will identify the type of injury in order to give me a better understanding of what the program regime should focus on. For example, if my patient has a torn ACL, I must design a program that will allow the strengthening of surrounding muscles of the knee without causing additional damage to the injury. At last, I will examine the athlete’s history of injuries in order to conclude whether or not the individual has been through a similar situation. For this reason, if my patient has gone through a similar situation, I would have him reflect back to that injury in order for himself to re-visualize the process of overcoming an injury. In like manner, I would evaluate the athlete’s psychological treatment of injury by first making a

Reporting party (RP) stated that her husband Russell Briko (11/25/57) suffered from Parkinson's disease and diagnosed with Altered Mental Status. While residing at this facility (Mid June thru August 2017) the resident disclosed to RP that he was abused by the staff. The resident reported that staff would laugh at him and say mean things to him such as, "We don't like you" and " Your wife does not like you.:" RP was also incontinent and needed assistance with suppositories; however, there were times where staff did insert the suppositories when the resident became "frozen." RP stated that there were times that staff assisted with the catheter insertion. It was reported that the resident was given a baby monitor for his room so that he could

Syndromic Intellectual disability, particularly the one which coexists with Epilepsy is inevitable. It is very prevalent, difficult to find etiology, hard to manage in terms of seizure control and it contribute to the high death rate in children with intellectual disability. Microarray test helps in identification of the chromosomal aberrations which can be contributory to both conditions. There are few studies that focused on seeing the impact of pathogenic copy number variations in majority of the patients with both Intellectual disability and Epilepsy, in addition, there are few copy number variations that have been identified so far to cause both conditions. 123 pediatric patients with Intellectual disabilities with or without

Disabilities / Disease - Physical Therapy helps to provide good services for people with disabilities. Physical Therapist needs their DS literature that has been critical of rehabilitation professionals, educational, particularly, targeting the medical model of disability. As with any medical practice, a variety of therapies can be applied to treat or help a range of conditions. Also, Physical Therapy needs to be educated with medical knowledge so, they can do work hands on deck working with patients that have disabilities. “Their value to individuals & society is apparent, and we rightly enjoy our role in our client’s success.” Physical Therapist needs to be careful with their patients that have disabilities because they can highly dysfunction one of their body parts. Now, Physical Therapy PTs can help a patient movement or recover strength after an injury/illness. If a patient has a disorder or disease they would develop a plan, using treatment, techniques to promote the ability to move reduce pain, restore body functions and, prevent disability. In physical therapy, they train professionals evaluate and treat abnormal physical function that related to, for example, an injury, disability, disease condition, nerves, or muscle

The physical therapist first encounter with a patient often serves as a telltale of what to expect and how to go about the therapeutic relationship. The initial contact with a patient gives the therapist an impressive view of the tip of the iceberg, in a way it provides important gauges on how to navigate to and around a patient’s persona. PTs should be cognizant of the premise that the mind and body are inseparable, and these two realms work in synergy to define a person’s current health status. In our day to day practice, patients are referred to physical therapy due to their physical impairments and disability. With a life changing event as a result of a health condition patient may manifest signs and symptoms of impaired mental wellness-depression. As Fair (2011) has elucidated, diagnosing a mental health disorder is not within the PT scope of practice, but

People have created a hectic and busy world, that includes careers and daily activities that require physical activity. While attempting to attain the required physical conditioning, people often take chances with their personal health as they try to stretch their physical limits. Sometimes, people can surpass their current limits and form new boundaries; however, other times people are not so fortunate. These unfortunate times often lead to injury, including workplace accidents, sporting incidents, disease afflictions, as well as others; any or all of which could bring about the need of rehabilitation services. Many of these require physical therapy, which includes assisting injured or otherwise impaired patients as they recover to

The main point of my work is to build up a programmed wheelchair that could push ahead, in reverse, left, right with snag recognition in its way. The general structure of this work is to give immense support to physically disabled individual who can't explore from their places. A wheelchair comprises of accelerometer sensor as detecting component, a microcontroller unit a basic leadership gadget and engines to explore the wheelchair. By tilting accelerometer sensor wheelchair can be moved in four headings. The wheelchair is connected with IR sensors to deterrent discovery. Obstruction in the way is dictated by wheelchair and wheelchair will stop naturally. In biomedical field, a wheel-chair for a crippled person is a critical gadget to help

The functional limitations/medical rehabilitation model is one of the older models with a focus on rehabilitation. The main concept of the model is to fix people with disabilities because they are considered “broken” compared to the nondisabled person. This model emphasizes adapting the person with disabilities to function within the environment by improving their functional capabilities. To improve functional capabilities, the disabled person generally required much physical, vocational, and emotional adjustment throughout the process. The plan utilized in this model includes restoring the person to as much of their prior level of function as possible and assisting the person in becoming acclimated to their environment. This approach
