Scaphoid fracture in a patient after a fall.

The patient was a 27-year-old man who was referred to a physical therapist because of persistent right wrist pain after a fall on an outstretched hand in a remote setting 3 months prior. Immediately after the injury, the patient was seen by a physician's assistant in a remote medical clinic, where right wrist radiographs were completed and interpreted as normal. Based on the history and physical exam, a potential scaphoid fracture was suspected.

Improved activation of lumbar multifidus following spinal manipulation: a case report applying rehabilitative ultrasound imaging.

Study Design: Case report.

Background: The use of spinal manipulation as a treatment to facilitate neuromuscular control of the paraspinal musculature is not well described in the literature. The use of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) may offer a convenient way to investigate and document possible changes occurring in the lumbar multifidus associated with manipulation intervention.

An algorithm for the treatment of schizophrenia in the correctional setting: the Forensic Algorithm Project.

The Forensic Algorithm Project (FAP) was born of the need for a holistic approach in the treatment of the inmate with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia was chosen as the first entity to be addressed by the algorithm because of its refractory nature and high rate of recidivism in the correctional setting. Schizophrenia is regarded as a spectrum disorder, with symptom clusters and behaviors ranging from positive to negative symptoms to neurocognitive dysfunction and affective instability.
