Download or read book Run Don t Walk written by Adele Levine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M*A*S*H meets Scrubs in a sharply observant, darkly funny, and totally unique debut memoir from physical therapist Adele Levine. In her six years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Adele Levine rehabilitated soldiers admitted in worse and worse shape. As body armor and advanced trauma care helped save the lives—if not the limbs—of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, Walter Reed quickly became the world leader in amputee rehabilitation. But no matter the injury, physical therapy began the moment the soldiers emerged from surgery. Days at Walter Reed were intense, chaotic, consuming, and heartbreaking, but they were also filled with camaraderie and humor. Working in a glassed-in fishbowl gymnasium, Levine, her colleagues, and their combat-injured patients were on display at every moment to tour groups, politicians, and celebrities. Some would shudder openly at the sight—but inside the glass and out of earshot, the PTs and the patients cracked jokes, played pranks, and compared stumps. With dazzling storytelling, Run, Don’t Walk introduces a motley array of oddball characters including: Jim, a retired lieutenant-colonel who stays up late at night baking cake after cake, and the militant dietitian who is always after him; a surgeon who only speaks in farm analogies; a therapy dog gone rogue; —and Levine’s toughest patient, the wild, defiant Cosmo, who comes in with one leg amputated and his other leg shattered. Entertaining, engrossing, and ultimately inspiring, Run, Don’t Walk is a fascinating look into a hidden world.

Download or read book R E P S written by Reid Elam and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term reps is commonly used in the exercise realm as a shortened version of repetitions, or the number of times a particular movement is performed for any particular time segment. The title REPS makes reference to the aforementioned and serves as the acronym for the title in its entirety: Rehabilitation Exercise Progression System. In any professional setting where rehabilitation is performed—medicine, sports, schools, and fitness / personal training—a system for prescribing and administering rehabilitation exercise is necessary in order to provide the best outcomes for patients and/or clients. Once a condition is identified, it can be challenging to determine where to start and what to prescribe. Certain factors such as the individual characteristics and level of conditioning of the patient/client must be considered. The scope and purpose for making choices in a rehabilitation exercise regimen must be based on a foundation of movement that is naturally human. Next, selection of appropriate exercises and a plan for progression to attain rehabilitation goals, both personal and clinical, need to be implemented. This book takes into account all these factors and presents a comprehensive rehabilitation system with progressions to take the guesswork out of the equation for achieving outstanding results for the busy practitioner.
