Opinions of constraint-induced movement therapy among therapists in southwestern Ohio.

Objective: To determine the opinions of therapists about constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT).

Method: A convenience sample of 92 therapists with at least 1 year of clinical experience working in outpatient and inpatient hospital and clinical neurorehabilitation settings was surveyed. Subjects completed a self-report questionnaire discerning their opinions of CIMT during their clinical staff meetings.

Solid-state materials for anion sensing in aqueous solution: highly selective colorimetric and luminescence-based detection of perchlorate using a platinum(II) salt.

The PF(6)(-) salt of a platinum(II) complex changes from yellow to red and becomes intensely luminescent upon exposure to aqueous ClO(4)(-). The response is remarkably selective. Spectroscopic changes are consistent with anion exchange resulting in shortening of the intramolecular PtPt distances between the square planar cations.
