(Harrisburg) – PennDOT and the De-partment of Environmental Protection (DEP) are seeking volunteers for this year’s Great American Cleanup of Penn-sylvania effort that runs through May 31.`The statewide cleanup is an annual ef-fort sponsored by PennDOT, DEP, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and other part-ners through which interested individu-als and groups can create cleanup events. Groups involved in PennDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) program, which involves volunteers cleaning roadsides year round, are also encouraged to participate in the cleanup.`“These cleanup programs play a huge role in keeping Pennsylvania beautiful through cleaner roadsides and communi-ties,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “It’s my hope that more individu-als get involved and join the thousands of dedicated volunteers who participate in these efforts year after year.”`In addition to the statewide cleanup, reg-istered events have access to free disposal at participating landfi lls during “Pick it Up PA Days” from April 12 to May 5. PennDOT provides gloves, trash bags and safety vests to AAH and Great Ameri-can Cleanup of PA groups with funding from DEP’s Solid Waste Abatement Fund.

PennDOT and DEP Seeking Volunteers “DEP works every day to provide for the health and safety of Pennsylvanians through a cleaner environment,” DEP Secretary Chris Abruzzo said. “The Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania is a great opportunity for volunteers across the state to join us in that effort.” During last year’s Great American Cleanup, 6.1 million pounds of litter was collected from Pennsylvania’s roads, trails and shorelines by more than 137,000 vol-unteers. PennDOT’s AAH program con-tributed more than 72,000 volunteers who cleaned up more than 65 percent of the collected litter on 10,859 miles of cleaned up roadway. Through the AAH program, volunteers collect litter on a two-mile section of state highway four times a year. The program currently has nearly 7,000 participating groups, more than 117,000 volunteers and 15,140 miles of adopted state-maintained roadways. Interested individuals can fi nd a listing of cleanup events, resources for organiz-ing a cleanup and other information about the effort online at www.gacofpa.org Groups interested in adopting a sec-tion of highway are encouraged to contact their local PennDOT County Maintenance offi ce and ask for the AAH coordinator, or visit www.dot.state.pa.us

“Assurance ” -by Bob Perry The ACA (Affordable Care Act - has changed what health insurance is; From Insurance to Assurance). Insurance is a RISK business and rates for classes of risk pay for that risk like auto insurance. In auto insur-ance males are considered a different risk group than women and as a result of cost occurrence, males pay a higher rate of insurance. Younger drivers are in a risk group that pays a higher rate due to higher losses for the insurance companies. This new controversial law has changed this formula by assigning certain groups risks which those groups do not incur costs for said risks. The ‘young invincible’ (ages 18 thru 34) historically paid rates which were 1 to 5 for a 64 year old adult. The ACA has changed that to a rate of 1 to 3. The ‘young invincibles’ are being forced to pay for a risk group they are not includ-ed in. Additionally, the ACA changes the risk distribution of health status and gender by stating that premiums cannot vary due to health status or gender. The result of this law is changing the very basis of insurance by risk to assurance regardless of any identifi able risk. This is ASSURANCE not INSURANCE. The changing of who pays, and what they pay, is upside down when it comes to the ability to pay because the young are less able to afford any kind of in-surance while older people, if they have planned wisely, have more resources to cover costs for their health insurance. The con job in passing the ACA includ-ed a carrot by allowing young up to the age of 26 to stay on their parents plans if they fi t certain criteria. You could say the architects of the ACA shot them-selves in the foot. This scenario has caused a serious problem for the sur-vival of the ACA because the ‘young invincibles’ who stay on their parents plans are not included in the pool that funds the survival of the law. The pool of the young makes up to 40% of the individual market and are necessary for successful implementation of the law. The assurance of the law is not guar-anteed but if the law survives you have the ASSURANCE that seniors will be helped in covering their health care costs and the ’young invincibles’ have the ASSURANCE they will be paying for it. If this perversion of insurance of health care survives, then could we assume that a similar change might be

possible for life insurance? As an older citizen I fi nd the rates for life insurance is prohibitively expensive but our progressive government could fi nd the illogic to once again change the laws of economics. It could!

We enjoyed our visit to the GGB Elementary School this last Mon-day on St. Patrick’s Day. We walked through the hallways and stopped at three classrooms where students were well occupied in the process of learn-ing, as well as celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in some small way. Photos from our visit have been included in this edi-tion of the Bradford Journal, and as always, other photos may be found in the photo gallery……...Over the last year, the Bradford Journal has made various subtle changes to our edito-rial presentation. In addition we have increased the number of pages in each issue. Our readers should know that our staff is presently in the process of reviewing its methods for collecting photos and other editorial materials. The Internet presentation, access, and delivery of the paper are also being re-viewed. Comments from our readers in developing these changes and bet-ter serving their needs are always wel-come……..The March edition of the Rolling Stone magazine included an interview with Bill Gates, where he addressed the question of whether or not the state should be playing a greater role in helping people at the lowest end of the income scale? In a nutshell, for those who haven’t seen the article, Bill suggests that we ask the poor people whether they feel like they are better off than ever before, and that there is a lot of gaming of the system by peo-ple who don’t really need the money. He also suggests that relatives, not the state, should be taking care of the poor. But this is what he misses: While the poor even have cars today, they’re not reliable, even if there were gas money to run them. They have a limited sti-pend for food, but only, almost enough for the processed unhealthy type. They have housing, but most of it, across the country is broken down, and dangerous. They have medical care, but only of the emergency room type. Our suggestion is that Bill Gates, who built his fortune, in no little part, on his skills at gaming the funds from various departments of our government, join the household of a poor family or individual for a couple months, to discover in person the luxu-rious life of those scamming rascals at the bottom of the income pyramid. Per-haps then he could use his mind to help the technocrats in the social services in particular, and those in government in general, repair today’s broken system that distributes most of the wealth to fi ne, gaming, gentlemen like himself, keeping them well separated from the stink of poverty.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESDon’t Forfeit Past Tax Refunds

-by Jason Alderman Does this sound familiar? A few years back your yearly earnings were pretty low so you fi gured you wouldn’t owe any income tax. Thus, when April 15 rolled around the following year you didn’t bother fi ling a tax return, know-ing you wouldn’t be penalized.Big mistake. Even if your income fell below the threshold at which you’d owe anything, chances are taxes were deducted from your paycheck throughout the year. (Check your year-end W-2 form). If so, you probably left a sizeable tax refund on the table. And you wouldn’t be alone. The IRS estimates that each year close to a mil-lion people don’t bother fi ling federal tax returns, thereby forfeiting around $1 billion in refunds they were due – refunds that average several hundred dollars apiece. Here’s the good news: The IRS gen-erally gives you a three-year window to go back and fi le a past year’s tax return if you want to claim an unpaid refund. For example, to collect a refund for 2010 you have until April 15, 2014, to fi le a 2010 return. After that, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treas-ury. You can order prior year tax forms at www.irs.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). If you’re miss-ing any supplementary paperwork (e.g., W-2 or 1099 forms), you’ll need to re-quest copies from your employer, bank or other payer. If that doesn’t work, fi le IRS Form 4506-T to request a free tran-script showing information from these year-end documents. Keep in mind that if you fi le to col-lect a refund on your 2010 taxes but have not also fi led tax returns for 2011 and 2012, the IRS may hold onto the refund until you fi le those subsequent returns. Also, past refunds will be ap-plied to any amounts you still owe to the IRS or your state tax agency, and may be used to offset unpaid child sup-port or past-due federal debts, such as student loans. Another good reason to consider go-ing back and fi ling a previous year’s tax return: the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Chances are, if the reason you didn’t fi le a return was because you didn’t earn enough to owe taxes, you may have been eligible for the EITC, a “refundable” tax credit for low- to moderate income working taxpayers. (“Refundable” means that if you owe less in tax than your eligible credit, you not only pay no tax but also get a re-fund for the difference.)

As an example, for tax year 2010, a married couple fi ling jointly with three or more qualifying children whose adjusted gross income was less than $48,263 were eligible for an EITC of up to $5,666. To fi nd out how EITC works and whether you qualify, consult IRS.gov. For the rest of us, April 15 looms as the deadline for fi ling our 2013 taxes. At the very least you should request a fi ling extension by then; otherwise the penalty on any taxes you owe increases

dramatically. Typically you’ll have to pay an addi-tional 5 percent of taxes owed for each full or partial month you’re late, plus interest, up to a maximum penalty of 25 percent. However, if you fi le your return or request an extension on time, the penalty drops tenfold to 0.5 percent per month, plus interest. Bottom line: If you skipped fi ling a tax return in the last three years, go back and crunch the numbers – you may be pleasantly surprised by a hefty refund.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDETreating Sleep Apnea Without

Medication

(NAPSI)—Surprising as it may sound, excessive daytime tiredness may be linked to a person’s anatomy. That’s the word from experts who say that sleep apnea—a serious disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is re-peatedly interrupted during sleep—can be a matter of not having enough space in the throat for the air to go down to the lungs. As a consequence, your brain wakes you constantly throughout the night to breathe. That means you are enjoying only very light, fragmented and poor-quality sleep, leaving you still tired at the end of your night’s rest.

Many Cases Go Undiagnosed Sleep apnea affl icts more Americans than asthma or diabetes and yet more than 75 percent remain undiagnosed. This can present additional problems, since those with the condition tend to have high blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, depression and sexual dysfunc-tion—and annual health care costs that are twice the average, according to the Ameri-can Sleep Apnea Association.

A Successful Approach Fortunately, the condition is treatable. However, as with other matters of anato-my, medication is not the answer. That’s because the space of the throat must be ad-justed in order to take care of the problem. One approach that has found success uses a dental device. Called an orthotic, it is similar in appearance to a sports mouth guard. “It moves the lower jaw forward and down slightly into an anatomically correct resting position, which keeps the airway open,” says Dr. Mark Duncan of the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Den-tal Studies.

Numerous Benefi ts An orthotic offers several benefi ts without surgery, including: • Signifi cant reduction in apneas for patients with mild to moderate apnea, par-ticularly if patients sleep either on their backs or stomachs. • Improvement and reduction in the fre-quency of snoring and loudness of snoring

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Is magnesium as important as I’m hearing lately? If so, what foods are the best sources? A: Magnesium is a mineral involved in DNA repair, control of cell growth, blood sugar metabolism and insulin signaling, among other roles. The good news is that we don’t need huge amounts of magnesium to lower our risk of diabetes and heart disease (including high blood pressure). The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 320 milligrams for most women and 420 mg for most men. In one study researchers looked at magnesium intake of obese people with metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high triglycerides), which means they were also at increased risk of developing diabetes. Those who met recommended amounts of magnesium were 63 percent less likely than those who didn’t meet the RDA to develop insulin resistance, the starting point of type 2 diabetes. An analysis of eight population studies shows that people consuming the most magnesium were nearly 20 percent less likely to develop colon cancer than those with lowest intake.Unfortunately, Americans are eating more refi ned, processed foods, which are low in magnesium. Foods like dark green leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts and dried beans are rich in this mineral. The average American gets about 50-70 milligrams less than recommended amounts, a gap easily remedied with a few adjustments in food choices. For example, you can replace some of the refi ned grains you usually eat with whole grains or include a dark green vegetable most days. Work dried beans, seeds and nuts (especially almonds and cashews) into salads, stews or snacks regularly. Learn to in-clude plenty of fruits and vegetables throughout the day. These foods all contain fi ber and other nutrients and plant compounds that appear protective against the health prob-lems linked to low magnesium intake, so focusing on making a few small swaps in your current diet is likely to be better for your health than a magnesium supplement.

in most patients.Training Is Important

It’s essential to properly measure and fi nd the optimal, at-rest, natural jaw posi-tion in order to build an effective orthotic. Choosing a specially trained neuromuscu-lar dentist who has both the training and

computerized equipment is also critical. For example, the neuromuscular dentists from LVI are specially trained to fi t this device. To learn more, visit:

Fast, Easy Recipes Free You For Family Fun (NAPSI)—To spend less time cook-ing dinner and more time with your family, it helps to have a few simple yet delicious recipes at your fi ngertips. Fortunately, you can fi nd hundreds of family-pleasing dinner ideas from the Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest online. Many of them use seven ingredients or less (not including table salt or ground black pepper) and take only 30 minutes or less of active prep time. For example, there’s this recipe cre-ated by Kim Van Dunk of Caldwell, N.J., which uses ground turkey and Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach for a lighter yet full-fl avored spin on traditional meatballs. Van Dunk, along with 99 other fi nalists, will compete for the $1 million grand prize at the 46th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest this No-vember.

Grand Ole Opry Remains The Heart Of A Music City Getaway (NAPSI)—Long before Nashville, Tenn. became an “it” city noted as a top world travel destination by both Forbes and The New York Times, the city wel-comed hundreds of thousands of visitors annually with a single purpose in mind: seeing the show that made country music famous, the Grand Ole Opry. Today, the Opry is home to some of country music’s most popular stars while continuing to attract fans to its shows eve-ry Friday and Saturday night in addition to seasonal Tuesday−Thursday performanc-es. Opry General Manager Pete Fisher says, “When guests visit, they’ll experi-ence music from different generations, including up-and-coming stars, current hit makers and enduring legends.” “Pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land and the foundations of their faith,” says Opry member Brad Paisley. “People go to Washington, D.C. to see the workings of government and the foun-dation of our country. And fans fl ock to Nashville to see the foundation of country music, the Grand Ole Opry.” In addition to witnessing country mu-sic history made on stage, Nashville visi-tors can go behind the curtain on Grand Ole Opry House Backstage Tours.

This House Is Home “I always say backstage at the Opry is like your living room, only with famous people,” says Paisley’s fellow Opry mem-ber and Grammy-winning superstar Car-rie Underwood, nodding to the Opry’s informal and highly approachable nature, both on stage and behind the scenes. Tours trace the steps of Paisley, Underwood and others. Visitors are guided past themed dressing rooms and are led onto the 6-ft. wooden circle on the Opry House stage, cut from the stage of the Ryman when the show moved to the Opry House in 1974. When standing on the circle, fans stand on the same spot where legends such as Pat-sy Cline and Hank Williams once stood, as well as where stars such as Keith Ur-ban and Martina McBride perform today. Video commentary from Opry members

including Blake Shelton and Darius Ruck-er on the backstage tours complement the stories shared by tour guides, many of whom personally witnessed several of the magical Opry stage moments they de-scribe to guests.

Every Show Is Different With no less than eight acts and 50 mu-sicians at any one show, the possibilities for artists joining forces on a song—either planned or spontaneous—and creating an-other “Opry moment” on any given night are endless. With the world tuned in to the popu-lar network drama “Nashville” each week and the city welcoming more than 1,000 nonstop fl ights from 40+ locations around the country, plus the destination’s conven-ient location for road-trippers, Nashville thrives today as a go-to spot for great food, great times and great music—including the Grand Ole Opry.

At A Glance • The show that started it all, the Grand Ole Opry, continues to feature country music’s most exciting acts. Among the artists who’ve played the Opry in recent months: Eric Church, Little Big Town and Carrie Underwood. • Home to the Opry 1943−1974, the historic Ryman Auditorium today features

tours by day and concerts featuring an ec-lectic mix of music by night. • The Bluebird Café, often featured in the hit series “Nashville,” continues to host Music City tunesmiths nightly. Among the Bluebird’s claims to fame: helping “dis-cover” superstars Garth Brooks and Tay-lor Swift.

Five Brain Fitness Tips by Susan Grotenhuis (NAPSI)—Here’s an idea to think about: To stay mentally sharp, sus-tained effort is key. It takes work to keep a complicated organ such as your brain in optimum condition. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be complicated. You can follow these fi ve simple steps to keep your mind bright: 1. Change. By the time you reach retirement age, your brain has mastered many tasks. You have to think of crea-tive ways to surprise it. So change is vital to brain health. Change your rou-tines, change your environment, make

new friends, have different conversa-tions, listen to different music, try new foods. List the most familiar things in your life and then change them. 2. Think. Don’t let your brain get bored. Stimulate it with lots of new, refreshing information. Read articles, visit museums, study a new topic or take up a new hobby. That awkward feeling you may remember from your fi rst day on the job is what you want to replicate. Try learning a foreign lan-guage or a musical instrument. 3. Move. Experts agree that aero-bic exercise has the greatest benefi t in terms of helping your brain stay young. Encourage important blood fl ow to the brain by doing at least 21/2 hours of moderate aerobic activity (brisk walk-ing) each week. Start where you can and gradually build up from there. Set-ting small, monthly goals keeps your efforts focused and on track. 4. Eat smart. Keep those arteries—in your heart and your brain—from get-ting clogged with fat by eating plenty of fruits, veggies and whole grains. Stick with healthy fats such as those in nuts, avocados and olive oil. Include plenty of lean protein and fi ber to round things out. Try to fi ll half your plate at each meal with fruits and vegetables. They’re full of anti-oxidants and supply

important nutrients. Avoid white fl our, generally found in breads and pastries. Losing any extra pounds can help, too. Maintaining a healthy weight means a better chance at a healthy brain. 5. Be happy. Human beings are so-cial creatures. The brain is designed to interact with others and derives great benefi t from close relationships. When you’re happy, your brain is happy. When you’re stressed or depressed, your brain releases a chemical called corti-sol. Cortisol in small doses is useful for alertness and concentration. When it lingers, however, it attacks the cells in the hippocampus, where memories are formed. Getting plenty of sleep is also important for relaxing and renewing the mind. • Ms. Grotenhuis is a certifi ed Brain Fitness Facilitator with Asbury Com-munities, an aging services organiza-tion.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGE

Building Confidence Through Retirement Planning (NAPSI)—Will you have enough savings to last throughout all your re-tirement years? If this question is the source of many sleepless nights or one you would rather ignore altogether, you are not alone. In fact, a majority of Americans nearing their retirement years are lacking confi dence in their fi -nancial preparations, according to the latest research by the Insured Retire-ment Institute (IRI). There are numerous reasons for the confi dence shortfall. For one, prepar-ing for retirement can be a challenging process. Experts say longer life spans, uncertainty with Social Security and Medicare, changes in employee ben-efi ts, and the rising cost of health care have placed the burden of funding re-tirement squarely on the shoulders of consumers. But according to IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford, a little plan-ning today can make a big difference tomorrow. Crafting a holistic retire-ment plan including a strategy for at-taining retirement income-income that will last as long as you live-will lead to more confi dence in your fi nancial fu-ture. That’s why the National Retirement Planning Coalition, a group of promi-nent consumer education organizations and fi nancial industry leaders, spear-headed by IRI, organizes National Re-tirement Planning Week®. This year’s event will run April 7-11. During this time, Americans are urged to develop, review and update their retirement

plans. To get started, the coalition offers a variety of retirement planning resourc-es, which are available for free at www.retireonyourterms.org. These resources range from retirement planning work-sheets to interactive retirement tools and calculators. The website also fea-tures a series of educational tip sheets on topics such as Social Security, budg-eting basics, investing, asset manage-ment, longevity risk and health care. Americans needing additional assis-

tance are encouraged to consult a fi nan-cial professional. Advisors can assist in creating a holistic retirement plan, and in the process, build consumers’ confi -dence in their retirement plans.

An Open Recall Can Help A Used-Car Buyer

(NAPSI)—Bad news can sometimes be good news, particularly when it in-volves an open recall on your car. An open recall is when a manufac-turer identifi es a problem with a partic-ular model and agrees to fi x it at little or no cost to the owner or potential buyer. Recalls can affect a car’s perfor-mance, safety and resale value. You’re doing yourself and others on the road a favor by having them fi xed. Open recalls can be an excellent op-portunity to help ensure the purchase of a well-performing car. However, problems arise when neither buyer nor seller knows an open recall exists. It’s estimated that 3.5 million vehicles with open recalls were for sale online in 2013. Fortunately, you now can easily fi nd out about open recalls or other reported problems by shopping for used cars at www.carfax.com Every car has a free Carfax Report to help you fi nd the right car with the right history.

PA 4-H WeekPA 4-H WeekMarch 16 - 22, 2014March 16 - 22, 2014

What’s It All About?

HISTORY OF 4-HHow It All Began: An American innovation, the 4-H youth develop-ment program of the Cooperative Extension origi-nated at the turn of the century because of a vital need to improve life in rural areas. Introducing im-proved methods of farming and homemaking, 4-H taught youth to “learn by doing.” The yearly program in one of those early clubs consisted of growing corn, planting a garden, testing soil, club meetings, and visits to club members’ plots and exhibits. There was a close affi liation between the school and the home in this early 4-H program--adults in the family were often persuaded to adopt new practices because of the successes experienced by the 4-H youth. The fi rst record of any known 4-H type activity was in 1898. Liberty Hyde Bailey of Cornell Univer-sity inaugurated a system of junior naturalist leafl ets in rural schools and assisted in the organization of nature study clubs. The year 1907 marked the beginning of 4-H work under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture. In 1914 the Smith-Lever Act established Coopera-tive Extension, an organizational entity of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the land-grant college system. The Cooperative Extension Service was to conduct educational programs of an “informal, non-resident, problem-oriented nature.” Cooperative Ex-tension provided the professional staff and support needed to direct the growth of the early 4-H pro-gram.The Early Years: In 1915 there were 4-H clubs in 47 states. During World War I, the energies of 4-H members were de-voted to raising food. Projects were raising corn and canning tomatoes. Following a period of readjustment after World War I, 4-H club work showed a contin-ual growth. Some states developed 4-H programs in close relationship to local school districts. Others established clubs as community programs separate from schools. The term 4-H was fi rst used in a federal publica-tion written in 1918 by Gertrude Warren, one of the pioneers of 4-H. In the early 1920’s a group at a conference in Washington, D.C., discussed the need to give boys’ and girls’ club work a distinctive name that could be used nationally. Several people, including Miss Warren, favored 4-H as the name for the organi-zation. In 1924, Boys’ and Girls’ Club work became known as 4-H. The pledge was adopted in 1927. As the 4-H program continued to grow through the 1920’s and 1930’s more emphasis was placed on the development of the individual rather than the product produced. The focus of the program was the development of skills in farming and homemaking.

A major change occurred during World War II when much effort was directed toward victory gar-dens, civilian defense, salvage programs, and bond campaigns as well as food preservation. The victory garden program also brought 4-H to urban people.Expansion to New Audiences and New Places: The 1950’s and 1960’s saw increasing numbers of non-farm youth enrolling in the program. In 1948, 4-H went international with the establishment of the International Four-H Youth Exchange (IFYE, fi rst called the International Farm Youth Exchange.) Today Cooperative Extension and its 4-H pro-grams serve people in towns, cities, and rural areas with information on agriculture, family living, com-munity development, and related subjects. 4-H: An American Idea 1900-1980 is a documented history of 4-H written by Thomas Wessel and Mari-lyn Wessel. Copies may be ordered through the National 4-H Council, 7100 Connecticut Avenue, Chevy Chase, MDú20815-4999. 4-H Around the World: The growth of 4-H around the world has been impressive. 4-H type clubs now exist in at least 80 countries; they have a total membership of over four million young people. It is virtually impossible to travel to any corner of the globe and not en-counter the familiar clover symbol. Famous 4-H Alumni: Nearly 50 million Americans from all walks of life have been 4-H members. A few of the more famous 4-H alumni are Roy Rogers, John Denver, Dolly Par-ton, Alan Shepard, Don Meredith, Tom Wopat, Char-ley Pride, Orville Redenbacher and Reba McIntyre.

Movement Analysis: A Step In The Right Direction

(NAPSI)—Technology that’s used to make animated fi lms in Hollywood’s dream factory is helping dreams come true for injured children and teens in several well-known hospitals. Motion capture technology has been used in an innovative way to bring digital characters to life in fi lms such as “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Polar Express.” The technology is also used in movement analysis laboratories at Shriners Hospitals for Children to evaluate how children walk and de-termine the best care options. How It Works The purpose of the movement analysis labo-ratories, currently available at 12 of the Shriners Hospitals for Children that provide orthopaedic care, is to better observe and measure the ways patients with mobility impairments move, to understand how and why they move differently from children without mobility problems, to rec-ommend care, and to evaluate the effectiveness of that care. In the movement analysis laboratory, special high-speed cameras track the movement of re-fl ective balls placed on the patient’s feet, legs, arms and torso. Other sensors on their skin tell which muscles are working. Force plates in the walkway measure how the patient is pushing on the ground. A pressure platform might also be used to tell how the ground force is spread over the bottoms of the patient’s feet and how the patient’s feet support the body. All these pieces of data about the patient’s walking and other movement patterns are com-bined with information gathered during a de-tailed interview with the family and in a careful physical examination of the patient. An experi-enced, multidisciplinary team typically comprised of physicians, engineers, physical therapists and kinesiologists meets with the patient’s physi-cian to review this information and recommend treatments, which might include bracing, physical therapy, medications or surgery. Family-Centered Care Shriners Hospitals for Children is a health care system of 22 locations dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric spe-cialty care, conducting innovative research and offering outstanding teaching programs.
