    Clayton Murray Case Summary

    Murray’s physical capacity is restricted to sedentary work that involves lifting up to 10 pounds at a time, occasionally, and requires occasional walking and standing, for up to 2 hours a day (he cannot stand for about 3 hours without experiencing discomfort). To avoid pain exacerbation, Clayton is recommended to refrain from performing job duties requiring long hours of standing, walking, lifting and carrying heavy objects. Considering that these activities are essential for a maintenance staff member position and a baker helper, and that modifications of these job duties are not possible to accommodate this client, Mr. Murray might have to find an alternative work that is more suitable for his medical condition. Because of his functional intellectual disability, this client may not have the capacity to engage in training to become more employable. However, he received on-the-job training in blueprint reading at Marcus Brothers Constructions. Clayton is recommended to seek an employment with a company that could utilize this skill (that is not physically demanding) and the same time provide required accommodations for his impairment. Additionally, Mr. Murray should explore job opportunities that are in a close proximity to his home and accessible by public transportation that he has to occasionally relay on. Long hours spent on the bus and walking to the bus station might aggravate his medical…

    Analysis of Disability by Nancy Mairs

    Author of disability Nancy Mairs who’s a feminist and a cripple, has accomplished a lot in writing and teaching. Her remarkable personality shows in many of her essays especially in Disability which was first published in 1987 in the New York Times.

By giving out facts and including her personal experiences, Mairs aims for making some changes regarding the relationship between the media and people with disabilities. Mairs thesis is shown implicitly in the first and last paragraphs. Her main goal is to show everyone that people with disabilities are just like everybody else and they should be included and accepted in all daily activities.

    War and Prosthetics

    The nation's military hospitals are experiencing a surge of patients returning home from service in Iraq and Afghanistan in need of prosthetics. As of January 2012, more than 1,400 service members required major limb amputations due to wounds sustained in combat. Nearly one in four service members incurred the loss of multiple limbs. The increase in on-the-ground operations and exposure to IEDs has resulted in an increase in the number of bilateral amputations. The connection between armed conflict and major advances in medical device engineering is hardly new. The medical and prosthetic industry is no different then any other in that it is susceptible to its external environment. Today's situation recalls trends of 153 years ago, when the brutality of the civil war conflict spawned a revolution in the design and mass production of artificial limbs. Recognizing the alarming number of amputations resulting from combat, the U.S. government unveiled the "Great Civil War Benefaction," a commitment to provide prosthetics to all disabled veterans. With the lure of government support, entrepreneurs began competing for a share of the growing prosthetics market, fast forward till today and the U.S. government has investing over $30 million in the research directed at improving care for extremity war injuries. Dozens of companies large and small, foreign and domestic have received grants to invent and improve prostheses that will be used first by wounded warriors and eventually by the much larger number of civilian amputees. Wars typically yield such advancements because those who have sacrificed limbs often demand replacements that push the limits of prosthetic technology. Wounded warriors historically have helped push the boundaries of prosthetic technology by demanding more functional, durable, comfortable devices, this demand for new technology and government…

    Aquatic Physical Therapy Paper

    Different clients are presented with different barriers that cause them to develop these limitations. Being that majority of our clients are students and student athletes they usually spend most of their time siting on hard stools with no back support as well as getting injured on the field which leads to the need to help improve their functions in siting, walking, and climbing stairs. The clinic treats clients till the age of 85. Older people tend to trip and fall while going about their day to day life. This tends to create the need to go to physical therapy to help them reduce pain, regain strength, and increase range of motion. At the same time when in comes to accessing physical therapy services many things have to fall into place in order for it to happen. Some clients are limited by their work schedule, while other by their need to care for dependents, and other by the limitations imposed by insurance such as limited visits, high co-pays, deductibles. While other are limited by their view of their condition. When they feel pain in their back they may ignore it and think it would go away on its own. After walking around with that intense back pain for 2 weeks they may realize that that little back pain wasn't nothing and it is something they should look into. But, by the time they start looking for a physical therapist and till they get verified it may take time and by then their pain may have spread and started problems in other parts of the body (J.M.,…

    Rehabilition Paper

    Upon learning that there would be a new opiate addiction treatment facility in my neighborhood, I was decidedly thrilled that steps were being taken to aid those in need. I find it extremely noble that the drug, alcohol, and mental health board is doing something to help those addicted to opiates. While I understand that some people may be concerned with the kind of reputation that a rehab center may bring to a community, I fully believe that the treatment center will be an excellent way to show that we care and want to help our fellow citizens. What town doesn’t want to say that they help their own? Are we suddenly too important to help those in need? Just because we may not have gotten sucked into the world of drugs ourselves, we are certainly not above helping those who have.…
