Feasibility of using MIRA with adult patients presenting with upper limb motor dysfunction post neurological damage.

Computer-based technology is an emerging modality to facilitate upper limb rehabilitation post neurological damage. A feasibility project using MIRA technology in an adult outpatient neurophysiotherapy service was conducted. Ten patients trialled nine MIRA games that promoted discrete and continuous unilateral and bilateral upper limb movements.

Identity in young adulthood: Links with mental health and risky behavior.

The present study was conducted to contribute to our understanding of young adult identity development by deriving latent profiles from intrapersonal and interpersonal indices of identity synthesis and confusion. A sample of 9737 college-attending young adults completed measures of identity, mental health, and health risk behaviors. Four latent profiles emerged: Synthesized (high synthesis, low confusion), Diffused (moderate synthesis, high confusion), Elevated (high synthesis and confusion), and Moderate (moderate synthesis and confusion).

Identity around the world: an overview.

This chapter outlines Erik Erikson's theory of identity, empirical operationalizations of this theory, and key assumptions that have characterized the study of identity in adolescence and emerging adulthood. It discusses the origins of psychosocial identity theories in North American cultural contexts and cross-cultural issues involved in using neo-Eriksonian identity models in other contexts. In particular, the chapter examines the individualist assumptions that underlie the neo-Eriksonian approach.
