INTRODUCTIONS

• Who you are and what you want to be called
• What your professional degree is
• What clinical, teaching, research experience you
  have
• Why you chose rehab science (if you have) and
  University of Florida
• Expectations of program

DEFINITION

• Rehabilitation is the process by which physical,
  sensory, or mental capacities are restored or
  developed (Brandt, Pope, 1997, p. 3)
• This is achieved not only through functional
  change in the person, such as strengthening
  injured limbs, but also through changes in the
  physical and social environments (Brandt, Pope,
  1997, p. 3)

What are the implications of these definitions?

AIMS OF COURSE

• Introduce models of enablement or disablement,
  Rosenbek and Velozo
• Models, such as one by WHO, comprise multiple
  domains such as impairment
• May also comprise other critical influences on
  the experience of disability and the response to
  treatment
• Such as environmental and personal variables
• Will be content of the first test

8
FIRST ASSIGNMENT

• Next week 3-5 minute power point discussion of
• Definition of model(s)
• Contributions of models to science
• Dont confine self to enablement models
• These you may decide are not models at all

9
AIMS CONTINUED

• Provide one scheme for understanding the
  structure of rehab science, Rosenbek
• Introduce the idea of phases of research
• Provide multiple schemes for evaluating what is
  called level of evidence in rehabilitation
• Provide an analysis of what else is meant by
  evidence based practice

10
AIMS CONTINUED

• Offer a discussion of the politics of science by
  Gonzalez-Rothi
• Provide summaries of the start of the art of
  research in the four key programs OT, PT, Rehab
  Counseling, and Communicative Disorder

11
AIMS CONTINUED

• Discuss the ethics of research and education led
  by Rehabilitation Counseling colleagues
• A few words about plagiarism in this first
  session
• Discuss societal, legal and environmental
  barriers to enablement, Pomeranz
• These lectures will provide content for the last
  test of the class

12
AIMS CONTINUED

• Introduce the principles, procedures and
  contributions of qualitative, as differentiated
  from quantitative, research, Young
• Trying to give an overview of models and
  approaches to answering rehab questions
• Occurred to me that 6110 is the time to introduce
  alternatives

13
AIMS CONTINUED

• Introduce principles of aspects of public health,
  Andresen
• The notion is that prevention and population
  illness and health interact with the treatment of
  individuals-the domain of rehab science
• For first time we have a combined degree in PH
  and RS

14
AIMS CONTINUED

• Introduce you to the research of two RSD
  researchers, Behrman, Kautz, who discuss their
  research in light of the models
• New lecture on patient reported outcomes (PRO) by
  Dr. Romero

15
AIMS A DIFFERENT WAY

• It seems to me there are a number of important
  components to rehabilitation research
• Ive assembled experts to talk about several
• Its also important to hear active researchers
• Much of organization is Boy I wish someone had
  told me this stuff early on.
