Neck muscles are used to tilt its head in an adorable fashion. Humans tilt their heads to express interest. But imagine how disturbing and painful it would be if your neck tilted involuntarily, without you being able to control it! Fifty-three-year-old Jose, unfortunately, knows just how debilitating this can be. Jose has a rare condition called dystonia, which is also called spasmodic torticollis. In this condition, the muscles in the neck contract involuntarily, often causing the person’s head to twist to one side. The muscles may contract in a sustained fashion, holding the head and neck in one position, or they may spasm repeatedly, causing jerky movements of the head and neck. Cervical dystonia is painful and can significantly interfere with individuals' ability to carry out their usual daily activities. In Jose’s case, they can no longer drive a car, because their uncontrollable head and neck movements and abnormal head positioning prevent them from navigating the road safely.…
Khalil Mack is a professional football player who graduated from UB (and took biopsychology while an undergrad here). Because he’s a professional athlete, weighs about 250 lbs, and is much stronger than I will ever be, the chance of me tackling him all by myself is virtually zero. But, imagine the following: I grab Mack’s left foot and hold on for dear life, and, at the exact same time¸ your TA, Zoe, grabs his right foot, another TA, Anna, grabs is left foot, while your other TA, Susan, jumps on his back. We might (if we’re lucky and the wind blows just right) have a chance of stopping him. The four of us grabbing Mack, all at the exact same time illustrates which principle of synaptic communication? (Thankfully Mack is a defense end, so we’ll never have to tackle him.)
a. reflex arc
b. inhibitory post synaptic potentials
c. spatial summation
d. temporal summation

A component of the rehabilitation program prescribed for this patient is core stability training using a therapeutic ball. Since the patient is unfamiliar with therapeutic ball exercises, the therapist will have to introduce them. How is that best accomplished? Should the therapist use verbal instructions to introduce the exercises? Should he demonstrate them? What must he consider in order to ensure the skills are presented most effectively? If you were the therapist in the story above, what technique or combination of techniques would you use to teach the patient therapeutic ball exercises?
