...Portfolio Task Module 1 “Effective Study Skills are the Sole Foundation of a Sound Education.” “Study skills are fundamental to academic competence. Effective study skills are associated with positive outcomes across multiple academic content areas and for diverse learners.” (2002) National Association of School Psychologists. Study skills improve the competencies associated with acquiring, recording, organizing, remembering and using information. These skills also contribute to success in both employment and non-academic settings. Studying is often an individual activity and what works for one student with regards to study may not work for someone else. Self regulation is an important aspect of study skills. Having the ability to goal set, work towards deadlines and have persistence in the subject the student is studying will help achieve success. “In effect good studiers are good strategy users, they know how to use a variety of goal specific tactics, to execute them in a planned sequence, and monitor their use”. (2002) National Association of School Psychologists pg353. A sufficient amount of time needs to be dedicated to studying to achieve the best outcome. Effective study skills may also help with issues such as confidence and organizational skills which are used in every day activities. Some students take notes whilst they are reading to help them understand what they are reading. Other students may wish to “think aloud” as it helps students to understand and retain...

...Foot and ankle injuries are very common but not many people even know what really happens when they injure their foot or ankle. There are many things that can be injured in your foot and ankle such as ligaments, tendons, bones, and fascia. An injury can range from inflammation of fascia or a broken bone or even torn ligaments. It is important to understand how serious foot and ankle injuries can be to the overall health of an individual. A sprain is when ligaments and tendons are torn and or stretched out(Pierre Rouzier). These injuries can take a long time to heal. Sprains are categorized by grades, the grades are usually in three levels. A ligament is a very strong band of tissue that connects bone to bone(Amy Scholton). A tendon is a very strong band that connects bone to muscle(Amy Scholton). Some tears can be so bad that you may even have to have surgery and then a couple weeks of therapy for a proper healing process (Vernada Karriem-Norwood). So imagine tearing some ligaments and tendons in your shoulder you possibly couldn't even lift up your arm so injured ligaments and tendons can be very severe and bad.

So a diabetes patient always has to wear specialized footwear that can protect the foot in more sophisticated way. Diabetes changes your body's ability to fight infections. Damage to blood vessels causes because of diabetes results in less blood and oxygen getting to your feet. Because of this, small sores or breaks in the skin may become deeper skin ulcers. The affected limb may need to be amputated when these skin ulcers do not improve, get larger, or go deeper into the skin. Worldwide, 50% of all leg amputations happen to people living with diabetes. In India, an estimated 50,000 amputations are carried out every year due to diabetes related foot problems.

...An update on Calcaneal Apophysitis (Sever’s disease) Often children between the ages of eight and thirteen attend the podiatry clinic with heel pain. One differential diagnosis is calcaneal apophysitis or otherwise known as sever’s disease. Calcaneal apophysitis is the inflammation of a calcaneal growth plate causing pain in the heel posteriorly, it is classified as a non-articular Osteochondrosis at an impact site (O’Gradaigh & Crisp, 2012). The calcaneus in a child under sixteen years contains a growth plate posteriorly. This is the section where the Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus. Around sixteen years of age, the growth plate ossifies onto the calcaneum. Sever’s disease is the disturbance or micro trauma in this growth area. Calcaneal apophysitis is more common in individuals who participate in active sport. It is a traction apophysitis of the Achilles tendon insertion at the calcaneus and is one of the most common causes of heel pain in children (Micheli & Ireland, 1987). The condition can occur in both sexes and usually resolves once bone growth has ceased. Children are usually in an active growth spurt during which time the Calcaneal apophysitis (Ogden et al, 2004) causes pain. It is thought that the long bones growth exceeds the musculature growth (posterior muscle compartment), causing pulling on the calcaneal muscle attachment. However Michelli & Ireland (1987) suggest the exact aetiology is undetermined and that it is thought to be a repetitive...

...So there I was behind the archers, knights on horseback (of course with their squires), and our “righteous” King and his cohorts. Scared does not begin to describe my feelings toward this battle that I did not volunteer for. I am just a mere foot soldier, an arrow cushion for the royals. We arrived a week ago today and it seems today will be the day of days. The Kings from our side and theirs are meeting in the middle of what will soon become the battlefield, or should I just call it what it will become, the resting place of most of us. I hope they work this out peacefully with some concessions. I am getting ahead of myself. When we first arrived we came ashore on boat and well let me just say there was nothing here, unless you count the forest. Well most of that went to constructing the Kings quarters. We found ourselves fighting over firewood to keep warm at night, although keeping warm almost came in second to just rest after our days. We work nonstop from dawn to dusk. It is just us “less” noble by birth that do all the manual labor, while the noble keep watch over us while they drink wine and we build battlements and quarters for the luckier. I find myself praying every night for this to be over, one way or the other, and at this point I am leaning toward the other, which would mean that I will never see any of you again. How I miss home. I know we work for a noble but at least we have a roof over our head and some grog and mead for our bellies. And it...

...Foot problems are one of the most common health complaints. The high incidence of foot problems is understandable given the fact that there are 26 bones, 33 joints, 112 ligaments, and tendons, nerves, and blood vessels in the foot. It’s even more understandable when the weight of the body is considered. The force of the body weight borne by the foot increases roughly 1½ times during walking and up to 3-4 times during running. Add in 10,000 steps during a typical day while wearing ill-fitted shoes possibly, and it’s a wonder one’s feet are willing to get out of bed the next day. Not all feet are created equal. To tell what type of foot one has, one can get the bottom of the feet wet, stand on a paper bag, and check the outline of foot. If a lot of the foot between the heel and forefoot can be seen, then one has a flat foot. If there is minimal contact of the midfoot between heel and forefoot, then one has a high arched foot. An outline in between is considered a neutral foot. 1. Flat Foot (Pronation) * The foot rolls inward and flattens (pronates) with weight bearing, placing increased stress on the inner foot structures. * This is typically a flexible foot, providing decreased stability during walking. * This person tends to wear out the inner side of the shoe, to include under the big toe. Calluses can be seen frequently under the base of the 2nd and 3rd toes and inside of the big toe. * If this person’s shoe is placed on a flat surface, the shoe may tilt inward...

...Tips to Maintain Good Posture We often hear that good posture is essential for good health. We recognize poor posture when we see it formed as a result of bad habits carried out over years and evident in many adults. But only few people have a real grasp of the importance and necessity of good posture. Why is good posture important? Good posture helps us stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions that place the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement and weight-bearing activities. Correct posture: • Helps us keep bones and joints in correct alignment so that our muscles are used correctly, decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain. • Reduces the stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints together, minimizing the likelihood of injury. • Allows muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy and, therefore, preventing muscle fatigue. • Helps prevent muscle strain, overuse disorders, and even back and muscular pain. Several factors contribute to poor posture-most commonly, stress, obesity, pregnancy, weak postural muscles, abnormally tight muscles, and high-heeled shoes. In addition, decreased flexibility, a poor work environment, incorrect working posture, and unhealthy sitting and standing habits can also contribute to poor body positioning. How do I sit properly? • Keep your feet on the floor or on a footrest, if they don't reach the floor. • Don't cross your...
