Rehabilitation of the hip.

The evolution of hip arthroscopy has necessitated a progression in hip rehabilitation to insure optimal postsurgical results. Rehabilitative methodology and techniques commonly employed after minimally invasive surgical techniques for other joints, such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle, have found application in the management of hip disorders. Understanding and respecting basic principles is always key to maintaining successful outcomes with any technique.

Usefulness of assessment techniques in assessing classification for emotional disturbance and generating classroom recommendations.

A national survey of specialist school psychologists examined the perceived usefulness of assessment techniques in making decisions regarding eligibility for the educational classification of emotional disturbance and in generating classroom recommendations. Analysis showed measures rated as most useful were interviews with the parent, teacher, and student, observations of the student, and norm-referenced rating scales. Projective techniques were least useful. These findings are important in the context of "best practices" for the multidimensional assessment of emotional disturbance which promotes a more direct link between assessment and intervention.

Evolution of transitional care settings: past, present, future.

Transitional care settings have evolved since the 1980s as Medicare prospective payment has affected acute hospital reimbursement and hospital length of stay. These settings include hospital-based subacute units, typically called transitional care units; subacute care units in freestanding nursing facilities; and long-term care hospitals. This article focuses on these transitional care settings: what they are, how they developed, what reimbursement issues affect these settings, and what is likely to happen next. In the future, advanced practice nurses may not only refer patients to transitional care settings, but also may find them to be sites for practice.
