Postural Abnormalities: An Individualized Program.
Vodola, Thomas M.
As one of the components of the Project ACTIVE (All Children Totally Involved Exercising) Teacher Training Model Kit, the manual is designed to enable the educator to organize, conduct, and evaluate individualized-personalized programs for children in grades 4 through 12 with postural abnormalities. An introductory chapter covers definitions and student and teacher behavioral objectives. Recommended in Chapter II is a screening procedure (which includes the New York Posture Test and the Modified Iowa Posture Test) to appraise dynamic body mechanics. A systematic procedure for assessing student progress is explained in Chapter III. Chapter IV shows the interrelationship between the diagnostic and prescriptive processes. Chapter V focuses on the evaluation of student progress at the end of a specific block of time so that a decision can be made regarding subsequent programing. The exercises and activities described in Chapter VI are noted to provide a cluster of student learning experience that will improve factors (which include contracted arches) listed in the Physicians' Posture Examination Form. Appended are such materials as a glossary, a postural abnormalities flowchart and activity list, and a list of supply and equipment needs. (SBH)
