The China Experience:
An Educational and Clinical Exchange of Eastern and Western Physical Rehabilitation Practices
Authors: Petrosino, C., Shurig, MA., Bryant, S., Flora, V., McGowan, J., Wahl, A.

A delegation of four Doctor of Physical Therapy students and one faculty member from the Krannert School of Physical Therapy (KSPT) at the University of Indianapolis traveled to China in May of 2007. A community-based capstone project was conducted with a mission to observe and document cultural experiences while providing a mutual educational exchange for the KSPT delegation and Chinese students and faculty. Presentations on spinal stabilization given by the delegation provided current evidence-based trends of the Western physical therapy profession. Development of the interactive educational sessions included a thorough literature review of the culture, preparation of culturally sensitive presentations for select audiences, and the collection of data throughout the experience for analysis.

Study Description
A literature search was performed on the history and culture of China prior to the trip. The students focused their research on cultural sensitivity, traditional Chinese medicine practices, and current rehabilitation techniques in China. Funding for the trip was sought through University grants and private fundraising. From the initiation of the project, each group member independently documented their experience during the literature review, collection of funds, development of lectures, travel arrangement planning, experiences in China, and return from the trip. Data collection of observations while in China gave rich descriptions of the experience while reflective field notes gave individual interpretations. From the collected data, all information was transcribed into a Word document for analysis in a computerized qualitative assessment software program (NVivo 7.0). Common themes were developed from the observations and reflective notes of the delegation. A manuscript was produced reflecting the interactions, experiences, and knowledge exchanged between the KSPT delegation and Chinese students and faculty members. Through individual analysis by group members and coding of textual data into convergent and divergent themes, followed by aggregating convergent themes by group consensus, the most salient findings were elucidated.

Discussion & Conclusions
Exchanging knowledge and gaining understanding between Western and Eastern healthcare methods exposed both parties to specific treatment techniques and philosophies of care that will potentially lead to more effective, integrated treatment approaches to physical rehabilitation. As a community-based project for professional program students, the invaluable cultural experience enabled students to glean greater insight of and appreciation for diversity and culture that will influence their personal and professional endeavors. This project can inform future community-based, service learning, and cultural experiences for professional program students and faculty.

Gary Karp will speak to occupational and physical therapy students on Friday, April 4, 2008 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, Ruth Lilly Performance Hall at the University of Indianapolis. This event is free and open to the public.

From http://www.garykarpspeaks.com/speaking.html
Gary Karp is an internationally recognized public speaker, corporate trainer, facilitator, author, and editor.

He has been living — fully — with a T12 spinal cord injury since 1973 when he was injured in a fall from a tree at the age of eighteen.

For his unique and extensive contributions to disability awareness, in 2007 Gary was inducted into the Spinal Cord Injury Hall of Fame as a disability educator.

Since his injury, Gary has earned a graduate degree in architecture, worked for eleven years in the presentation graphics industry as a designer and production manager, then began providing ergonomics training and consultation services to companies in the San Francisco Bay Area where he lives with his wife Paula and their yellow Labrador Retriever, Nava Leah.

A very highly-regarded speaker, Gary is sponsored in part by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, which funds his speaking in rehabilitation settings and to university students of physical and occupational therapy.

As a corporate trainer on disability and employment Gary makes the business case for working with employees with disabilities. He creates a safe and interactive environment to discuss what some find an uncomfortable topic — and in the process helps bring workplace culture up to speed on the dramatic emergence of people with disabilities — as candidates, and an existing employee's capacity to stay on the job or return more efficiently.

It's a familiar site around Indiana -- fields, barns, rolls of hay. But how often do we stop and look at the actual beauty of these scenes? Breaking Ground by Susan Fleck, a photography exhibition opening soon at UIndy, explores the often overlooked rural scenery that surrounds us. The exhibition runs March 24-May 9 in A farm photo included in Susan Fleck's the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery. It features 21 photographs of rural scenes from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Washington and even Norway!

The photographs were taken during Fleck's Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis. She chose to focus on rural landscapes because, though she grew up in Indiana, she had never taken photos depicting the familiar scenery. "There is beautiful farmland all around us, but most people never stop to look at it," she explains. "This exhibition shows farms as art."A rural scene from Susan Fleck's "Breaking Ground."

Admission is free to the exhibition, which is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Fleck will be present at a reception Friday, March 28 from 6-8 p.m. Find more information on UIndy's Arts site, then stop by and check it out!
