A patient with chronic left hemiplegia and foot drop due to a stroke is referred to outpatient physical therapy. The therapist determines that an orthosis is indicated to improve gait ability and safety.   Patient examination is as follows: Sensation is intact Mild plantarflexor spasticity is noted, rated 2 on the Modified Ashworth Scale Results of manual muscle testing on the left include: Knee flexion 4/5 Knee extension 4/5 Ankle dorsiflexion 1/5 Ankle inversion 1/5 Ankle eversion 1/5 Which of the following orthoses is MOST appropriate for this patient?

A patient sustained a cerebrovascular accident two weeks ago and is being treated in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. What phase of recovery are they classified to be in at this time?

In performing a movement analysis of tasks assessment of static sitting ability with a patient that had a cerebrovascular accident, a therapist notices that the patient is leaning strongly toward their involved side (ipsilateral pusher syndrome) despite cueing to sit up tall. Although they are leaning, they are stable in this position. Using the Framework for Movement Analysis of Tasks, which movement construct does this patient have an impairment in based on this observation alone?

A patient presents to the emergency room with potential symptoms of a stroke. Under which of the following circumstances is it indicated for the medical team to treat the stroke with thrombolytic therapy such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or Tenecteplase (TNK)?

Be sure to verify that it is appropriate to use a normal distribution to compute the p-value and include all of the details of the test.

3.  How many ants will climb on a piece of a peanut butter sandwich left on the ground near an ant hill? To study this, a student in Australia left a piece of a sandwich for several minutes, then covered it with a jar and counted the number of ants. He did this eight times, and the results are shown in Table 1. (In fact, he also conducted an experiment to see if there is a difference in number of ants based on the sandwich filling.)1Number of ants4358222536471921Table 1 Number of ants on a sandwich1Margaret M., “Favourite Experiments: An Addendum to What Is the Use of Experiments Conducted by Statistics Students?,” Journal of Statistics Education, 1994, http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v2n1/mackisack.supp.html.(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample. Round your answer for the mean to one decimal place and the answer for the standard deviation to two decimal places.Mean = ___________    Standard deviation = _____________(b) What is the population parameter of interest? ________________(c) What is the best estimate for that parameter? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.Best estimate= ________________(d) A bootstrap distribution of 5000 bootstrap statistics gives a standard error of 4.85.

A recent study13 examining the link between schizophrenia and culture interviewed 60 people who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and who heard voices in their heads. The participants were evenly split between the US, India, and Ghana, and each was interviewed to determine whether the voices were mostly negative, mostly neutral, or mostly positive. The results are shown in Table 2.11. “Learned cultural expectations about the nature of mind and self” appear to influence how the voices are perceived. 10 pts                                       TABLE 2.11How do people with schizophrenia perceive the voices?

Perhaps the most popular fighter since the turn of the decade, Ronda Rousey is famous for defeating her opponents quickly.  The five number summary for the times of her first 12 UFC (Ultimate Fight Championship) fights, in seconds, is ( 14, 25, 44, 64, 289).  4 pts        a.   Only three of  her fights have lasted more than a minute, at 289, 267 and 66 seconds, respectively.  Use the IQR method to see which, if any, of these values are high outliers.  How many high outliers are there?              ___________ high outliers.        b.   Are there any low outliers in these data, according to the IQR method?  How many low outliers are there?              ___________ low outliers.        c.    Based on the five number summary, would we expect Ronda’s mean fight time to be greater than or less than her median?              ______________________
