Read About the Human Brain Linked to a Robotic Arm

Pennsylvania physical therapy jobs are within range—some might say “robotic arm” range—of amazing research being conducted with Electrocorticography, or . In a project lead by a University of Pittsburgh neurobiologist, researchers taught a monkey how to use a robotic arm to mentally feed itself marshmallows; then they tested the technology on a quadriplegic human patient at the UPMC’s Rehabilitation Institute.

He hadn’t moved his limbs since sustaining a C-4 spinal cord injury in a motorcycle crash; interested physical therapists and others in allied healthcare can read about this patient’s mental feats with ECoG in the Pennsylvania paper, the Post Gazette. To summarize, the patient, 30 year-old Tim Hemmes, underwent surgery, so that an electronic grid could be placed against his brain without penetration. He then participated in a 28-day series of tests, the celebrated outcome of which proved that people with long-term paralysis can still produce brain signals and move their arms and legs.

To the patient and rehab team’s delight, the electrodes shallowly implanted in Mr. Hemmes’ brain read signals from neurons that captured arm motion, allowing him to exchange, with the robotic arm, an emotionally charged high-five with his doctor, and touch his girlfriend’s hand for the first time in 7 years.

“I believe they found the cure to paralysis,” Mr. Hemmes remarked in the interview video below that shows what groundbreaking rehab jobs can do with technology on their side. Mr. Hemmes doctors aren’t ready to proclaim a cure just yet, but they are comfortable with having identified a way to restore function in people with disabilities.

Sports Physical Therapy in High Demand

Author Healthcare Jobs Blogger | 10.14.2011 | Category Allied Healthcare, Career Tips, How to Tips, Physical Therapist Jobs, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Therapy, Therapy Jobs, Top Rehab Careers, Top Therapy Blogs, Travel Therapist, Travel physical therapy jobs, Video, Videos

Spotlight on Graduates

From college and professional athletes to kid’s sports injuries, baby boomers and seniors staying fit, the demand for sports therapists is off the chain.

How close are you to jobs in Sports Therapy?

The number one ‘Best Thing!’ about having a Masters in Physical Therapy is after years of late night studying, tests, clinicals and boards, you finally get to practice. The number two best thing is your Masters paves the way for your doctorate - or maybe first a career in sport physical therapy.

Every time you see an NFL quarterback sacked or a college ‘b-baller’ hit the floor hard, somewhere a sports therapist secretly says: “Yes, more work for me!” Naturally you sense exaggeration here as we all know compassion is vital to the art. Nevertheless facts are facts. Whenever an athlete gets hurt playing sports; a physical therapist likely plays a role in healing.

“Jobs in sports physical therapy are challenging and rewarding,” said Dennis Grandic, PT, MBA, Business Account Manager for Physical therapy staffing agency Travel Force Staffing. “They’re ideal positions for PT graduates in search of job satisfaction, career stability, and great pay.”

Sports Physical Therapy Jobs Working with Children

About 38 million teens play organized sports in the U.S. each year. Of these, an average 3.5 million get hurt - sprains, strains, head, spine, neck and back - plenty of jobs in sports therapy here.

Think football leads the pack in promoting adolescent sports injuries? Guess again. Bicycling is number one with 275,000 yearly mishaps. Basketball follows second with 200,000 and football third with 194,000. Injuries on the trampoline, playing soccer and skateboarding rank four, five and six respectively.[1]

Sport Therapists for Adults

Fueling demand for sports physical therapy are millions of ‘just retired’ Americans exercising regularly. Alongside them are seniors living longer and being more active while doing it. This beckons the story of 105-year-old Isabel “Billie” Smith in Margate Florida who said the only reason she gave up swimming at the age of 99 was because of a hip injury. “I do miss it though,” she said.

The centurion maintains mobility through exercise classes with a licensed sports therapist.

What’s the Jobs Outlook for Sports Physical Therapy?

Sport therapy is expected to grow more than 27 percent through to 2018. Salaries are high and range around the $80,000 mark. The average yearly salary in 2009 was $74,000 and sports therapists working for professional sports teams commonly earned well over $100,000.

Physical Therapy Jobs on the Rise in the Wake of Recession

The demand for physical therapy jobs is increasing sharply. Factors include an aging population, shorter hospital stays, the shift to ambulatory care and an improvement in the survival rate of accident victims and newborns. Indirectly, the rise in life expectancy makes interventions in physical therapy even more relevant, since physical therapists improve the quality of life of the elderly for an increasing proportion of their life.

Underwater Treadmill to Help Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries

Author Healthcare Jobs Blogger | 07.29.2011 | Category Allied Healthcare, Career Tips, Medical Robotics, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Therapy, Therapist Jobs, Therapy Jobs, Top Rehab Careers, Top Therapy Blogs, Travel Nurse Blog, Travel Therapist, Travel physical therapy jobs, Video, Videos

For some it’s the path of least resistance, but for patients recovering from injuries that resulted in severe spinal cord trauma, the resistance experienced during physical therapy (in the controlled speed of an underwater treadmill) makes all the difference: especially in mobility. The treadmill was developed by Dr. Sandra Stevens, in her human performance lab at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU); the study is a relatively new technology that patients are as eager to use as the physical therapists guiding their sessions in a 270 gallon tank of water. In video footage of the treadmill in use, one patient says, “it makes you feel good.”

Underwater Treadmill video

Details about the Underwater Treadmill

The underwater treadmill got its initial funding from the National Institute of Health. Dr. Stevens began the study with a group of 12 patients, meeting with them 3 times a week for 8 weeks, noting among the positive outcomes that these patients were less likely to suffer from self-fulfilling prophecies and stop progressing. The underwater treadmill seems to prove that there is no ceiling on getting better. In fact, one of Stevens’ patients, who suffered a broken neck in a 2007 accident, continued her therapy after the treadmill study ended, and reports that her wheelchair now sits in a corner, unused 90% of the time. Improvements in this patient and others taking part in underwater treadmill therapy, show the most marked advances are in the number of steps patients managed in their own environments, leg strength, preferred walking speed, and the amount of distance covered in just 6 minutes.

Looking for Physical Therapy Jobs that utilize the cutting edge in technology?

Besides using some of the latest technology, like the Underwater Treadmill, physical therapy jobs let you choose from a wide range of work settings, outpatient and Rehab centers, skilled nursing facilities, and private therapy practices. A physical therapy career is normally ranked highest in job satisfaction; generally, most physical therapists report being very satisfied with their occupation. In addition, a past survey by the Wall Street Journal‘s Career Journal, physical therapy rated one of the eight best careers!

A physical therapy career with Travel Force offers permanent, per diem and travel therapy jobs nationwide. We have high paying allied healthcare jobs in America’s best hospitals, which include University teaching hospitals similar to MTSU where the groundbreaking underwater treadmill was developed. If you love travel and have nowhere to go but up, call 1-800-617-0608 or apply online today. Isn’t it time you got your feet wet?

Physical Therapy Student Loan Repayment Changes Proposed

Author Healthcare Jobs Blogger | 07.21.2011 | Category Allied Healthcare, Career Tips, Education, Physical Therapist Education, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Therapy, Therapist Jobs, Therapy Job Bonus, Therapy Jobs, Top Rehab Careers, Top Therapy Blogs, Travel Nurse Blog, Travel Therapist, Travel physical therapy jobs, Video, Videos

PT’s Speak Out on Educational Debt

Introduced earlier this year, the Physical Therapist Student Loan Repayment Eligibility Act of 2011 amends the Public Health Service Act to include physical therapy in the definition of “primary health services.” The proposed change would make physical therapists eligible for repayment of their student loans under the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program. Although physical therapists have been excluded under this bill, many health professions are covered by legislation that forgives a certain amount of student loan debt for every year of work in an under-served area. Too often, large under-served areas go without comprehensive health and therapy services, so the NHSC has made it a mission to bring access to these areas. This bill would allow up to $30,000 in loan forgiveness per year (for a maximum of 2 years) in exchange for service in a disadvantaged area.

The Act is intended to encourage physical therapists to serve in rural and urban under-served communities, primarily by easing the educational debts of physical therapists who would otherwise find it financially impractical to work in these locations. Ultimately some of these therapists may decide to practice long-term in these locations, once their NHSC service is complete.

In June of this year, approximately 1,000 physical therapists, PTA’s and students of physical therapy visited their U.S. Representatives and Senators as part of this year’s PT Day on Capitol Hill. The PT’s visited their congressional reps to lobby on legislation that affects the profession. Check out the APTA’s video of their visit to DC here:

Looks like becoming part of the political process made for an energizing, inspiring day.

How to Be Heard

As of this writing, the bill was currently under consideration in the House Subcommittee on Health. If you would like to speak out on this legislation (H.R. 1426/S. 975), you can email your congressional representatives directly or through the APTA’s Legislative Action Center by visiting www.apta.org/TakeAction

More Ways to Cope with your Physical Therapy Student Loan and Educational Expenses

Recent physical therapy graduates may also want to consider travel therapy jobs as an effective way to defray the costs of rehab therapy education. Not only are the physical therapist salary and compensation attractive on travel assignments, there are also bonus programs that can make a real difference to the bottom line. Travel therapy jobs are also a low-risk way to try out different clinical settings — short and long-term rehab therapy assignments are available in metropolitan and rural settings, in rehabilitation clinics, and in teaching hospitals.

Occupational Therapy Jobs Surge in States with Enacted Autism Insurance Reform

Author Therapy Career Blogger | 06.22.2011 | Category Allied Healthcare, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Language Pathologist, Therapist Jobs, Therapy Jobs, Top Rehab Careers, Top Therapy Blogs, Travel Therapist

Occupational therapy jobs are in higher demand in 26 states, thanks to new legislation that requires health insurers to cover screening, diagnosis and treatment for autism spectrum disorders—heartening news for OTs treating patients with problems processing sensory input. Researchers estimate that 8 out of 10 autistic children suffer from Sensory Processing Disorder; with more affordable and expansive health care treatments and options, occupational therapy is more effective in lowering these statistics.

Autism Insurance Reform Bill a Win - Win for More Than Just Occupational Therapists

For parents, autism insurance reform eliminates the critical choice between keeping finances stable and seeking quality treatment; this bill lets them have both, ensuring that Medicaid and public schools are not the only form of reimbursement for families struggling to meet treatment costs. States to enact the autism insurance reform bill require insurance companies to include, as part of care, routine toddler screenings, behavioral health treatments, speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy, as well as other allied healthcare services that seek to benefit the 1 in every 115 children diagnosed with autism in the United States today. Insurance reform is expected to help these individuals better afford out-patient care, Applied Behavior Analysis, and protect against wrongful termination of health benefits. Patients helped by this reform may also expect shorter waits for optional, but beneficial treatments.

Looking for Therapy Jobs in States that Promote Advocacy and Increased Awareness?

Sought after, high paying travel occupational therapy jobs from coast to coast are part of this ground-breaking reform, in California, Virginia and New Jersey to name a few. Call 1-800-617-0608 or apply online today. Our recruiters align your talents with an ideal occupational therapy career in healthcare facilities synonymous with excellent care—for autism, and wide range of disorders requiring the high-level clinical training and expertise you know you can provide. Apply today!

Footnote: Find out more about Autism Reform Law in your state by visiting the Autism Votes official website; here therapists will find an initiative map detailing which states have enacted this positive law. Valuable information on your community’s Autism Speaks Chapter Advocacy Chair is also available. Archived material on the Travel Force blog is also a great career resource!
