Physical Therapy Examination, Evaluation, and Intervention for a Patient Status Post Total Ankle Arthroplasty

Background and Purpose: Total ankle arthroplasty is the least performed arthroplasty of the lower extremities and there is still much to learn about the need for and progression of rehabilitation for this population. The purpose of this case report is to describe the examination, evaluation, interventions, and outcomes for a patient receiving out-patient physical therapy for the first time at 10 weeks status post total ankle arthroplasty. Case Description: The patient was a 75 year old male that presented to out-patient physical therapy 10 weeks s/p cemented right total ankle arthroplasty. The patient had received acute care physical therapy, but no therapy after he was discharged from the hospital. Outcomes: Positive outcomes were observed in this case study with the interventions used. An increase in ROM and strength was measured in all planes of the operated ankle at time of discharge, along with increased in functional mobility. Discussion: There is a definite gap in the research when it relates to rehabilitation following a total ankle arthroplasty. A theoretical framework for management of this patient\u27s rehabilitation could not be found. This case report, others like it, and randomized controlled trials on this rehabilitation process will help in finding the best evidence based interventions for this patient population

The Evolution Of Dixie College As A Public Institution Of Higher Education In Utah From 1871 To 1935

This study has attempted to determine the forces which influenced the development of Dixie College from its inception as a church oriented Academy in 1871 to its becoming a state supported institution under the Utah Public School System in 1935. Included are a series, of events, crises, people, and historical forces which became a part of a neighborhood, of societal groups, of community development and led to the emergence of the institution and its growth in a small isolated Latter-Day Saint community; Beginning with the organizing of the LDS Church in 1830, the educational endeavors of the Mormon people--dedicated to the belief that the glory of God is intelligence --is briefly traced in the mid-West, the Utah Territory, and later in the State of Utah; The advent of the Civil War led to their establishing the Cotton Mission at St. George, Utah--a remote rural area in southwestern Utah. Here they struggled to provide cultural opportunities for their youth. Without the support of the LDS Church, however, their goals never would have been realized. Conducting their schools in tents, wagon boxes, a willow structure, and private homes, they finally used the old Social Hall, Tabernacle basement, and top floor of the Courthouse for classrooms. In desperation, they constructed their first multi-roomed building--the Woodward School--to provide education up to second year high school. Finally, in 1911, the St. George Stake Academy provided for four years of high school work; Institutional changes to provide missionary training, normal school training and finally junior college training are also delineated. The school\u27s operation under meager budgets, the impact of World War I and the ensuing depression, the crisis faced when the Church gave Dixie College to the State of Utah, and the Orphan Years without state support are likewise addressed; Also addressed are curriculum changes, teacher certification, unique student government, financing, and religious teaching in American schools. Recognition is given numerous contributors to the school, especially to the Dixie Education Association and community members who enabled the school to prepare its students to enter the mainstream of American civilization and become worthy contributors to American culture

James Mellor: English Convert and Handcart Pioneer - A Biography

For many years the descendants of John and James Mellor -- a large family who have made contributions to the cultural and educational activities of their various communities -- have been desirous of preserving for their posterity, and others, a record of the Mellors. Several years ago Amy Mellor Howe initiated the project by compiling and editing the first Mellor History. The foreword in her book wherein she ...hoped that the information and data herein contained may form the nucleus for further research... served as the incentive to continue the project. It is planned to incorporate the following biography into one of the section of the book The Mellors Through the Years which this author has consented to compile and edit for the family. In this biography will be presented the highlights in the life of James Mellor: his youth and early married life in England, his sharing in the experiences of the ill-fated handcart pioneers, and his coping with the problems involved in subduing a primitive frontier in settling the Mormon community of Fayette, Sanpete County, Utah. This study has been based on excerpts from James Mellor\u27s own diary and on the diaries of other members of his family; on old letters, documents, and other unpublished information; on newspaper clippings; on personal interviews, letters which the author has received, and available community, church, and government records. It is hoped that this evaluation will result in an objective biography of James Mellor that is as accurate as available information permits. Some previously published historical information has been inter-woven with the original diary of James Mellor in order to enhance both the interest and the authenticity of this document. Grateful appreciation is hereby acknowledged for invaluable assistance rendered by Roy Delbert Mellor, president of the Mellor family organization; his wife, Vivian Margaret Anderson Mellor; and to Martha Wintach Bartholomew, Fayette historian, in the compilation of extensive information and illustrations used in writing this thesis. Likewise, the author wishes to express appreciation to numerous other writers whose statements have been cited in this work, and to Ronald B. Jensen, business instructor at Manti high School, for assisting with the enormous task of typing this information. The author also desires to express sincere thanks to Professor J. Lynn Mortensen, members of her graduate committee at Utah State University, for their invaluable suggestions and professional guidance given in the preparation of this thesis
