Openings are available for one full-time tenure track, and one full-time and two half-time non-tenure track clinical faculty appointments. The preferred candidates will be physical therapists eligible for licensure in Illinois and possessing a postprofessional degree for clinical faculty appointment ora PhD orequivalent for tenure track. Responsibilities include teaching in an entry-level DPT professional program, and. for tenure track appointees, also in a postprofessional Master=s in physical therapy and an interdisci plinary PhD in Disability Studies program. The half-time clinical faculty will work with our full-time Director of Clinical Education and serve as ACCEs for DPT students in adynamic new curriculum. Applicants with expertise in musculoskeletal orcardiopulmonary/acute care physical therapy are especially encouraged to apply, but physical therapists with other areas of expertise will also be considered.

Knott, A SPT Abstract Finch University ofHealth Sciences/ Purpose: Regular exercise reduces diabetic symptoms, Chicago Medical School Hispanic Americans exercise less often than other Americans, and family influence on health behaviors differs between Adhesive capsulitis or a frozen shoulder is most often Hispanic and European Americans. This special interest characterized by an insidious onset with a progressive loss of presentation describes a culturally-centered group exercise range of motion in the glenohumeral joint. The etiology of intervention for Hispanic adults with diabetes that was adhesive capsulitis is unknown. This condition typically affects implemented at a community health clinic located in a low- 2-3 percent of the population and is seen most commonly in income Chicago neighborhood. persons in their fifties and in women. The overall recovery process generally lasts 1-3 years. Description: Designed and implemented by physical therapists, the program utilized education about and The subject of this case was a fifty six year old male with a performance of exercise to enhance control of blood glucose two-year history of adhesive capsulitis. The subject's goals levels. Each session of the 5-session intervention program for therapy were to be able to don and doff his pants and coat included 15 minutes of education and 60 minutes of exercise. without difficulty as well as to be able to reach for food from Educational topics included the benefits of exercise for blood drive-thru windows. Physical examination revealed limitations glucose control and complication prevention, exercise types, in the subject's flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation monitoring of physiologic signs, and safe progression of of the glenohumeral joint.

Exercise included warm-up, stretching, strengthening, aerobics, and cool down activities. decreased in the flexors, abductors and external rotators about the glenohumeral joint. The subject exhibited decreased capsular mobility of his left shoulder inferiorly. Special tests Oomen, Owen and Suggs (1999) suggest that most diabetes were negative exceptfor a positive speed's test. No tenderness intervention programs enhance individual motivation and was noted throughout the left shoulder. overlook external (cultural) values that may be strong motivators for Hispanic persons. Based on literature and an agency needs The subject received nine treatments of only glenohumeral assessment, we structured sessions to be culturally sensitive. mobilizations, stretches, scapular and shoulder strengthening Because family welfare was often more valued than individual with little gains. From the discovery at re-evaluation that health, we encouraged family members to fully participate in thoracic spine mobility was one of the deficits the remaining education and exercise with clients as a means of improving visits focused on increasing thoracic mobility.

We focused on indoor activities because walking outdoors was unsafe for many clients.
Summary of Experience: We offered the 5-session program 3 times over the course of 1 year. Fifteen of the 20 clients who enrolled completed 3 or more sessions. Typically clients were between 50 and 78 years old, weighed more than 20 percent over ideal weight, spoke Spanish and simple English, were born in Mexico, and lived in multi-generational families with income at or below federally defined poverty levels. Within a session, glucose levels typically dropped 30 mg/dl per participant. Among participants completing 3 or more
