Clinical Features on Sensory Dysfunction of Upper Limbs of Patients with Unilateral Stroke by SHAO Peng, JIA Jie

“…The sensory function assessment mainly included superficial sensations (pinprick, temperature and tactile sensation), deep sensations (position sensation, kinesthesia and vibration), and complex sensations (tactile localization, stereognosis and two-point discrimination).Results(1) The distribution of different types of sensory impairment: the most common sensory impairments in patients with unila-teral stroke were the combination of superficial sensation impairments, deep sensation impairments, and complex sensations impairments (58.20%); the incidence of tactile sensation impairment was the highest (83.61%). (2) Types of sensory dysfunction: compared with the cerebral infarction group, the incidence of different types of sensory dysfunction was lower in the cerebral hemorrhage group, and some patients in the cerebral infarction group had no sensory impairment. …”

Identifying students of concern. Primary school teachers’ reflections on assessing students’ general school functioning based on the concept of typicality by Stine Ekornes, Solveig Holen, Jo Magne Ingul, Simon-Peter Neumer, Frode Adolfsen, Elisabeth Valmyr Bania

“…IntroductionThe present paper explores how Norwegian primary school teachers’ reason and reflect when assessing students’ general school functioning in Teacher’s Report Form (TRF), where teachers are asked to compare students of concern with what is perceived as a typical student at the same age, regarding work effort, behavior, learning capacity and mood.MethodsThe teachers in the sample (n = 7) had recently filled out the TRF as part of their participation in The Echo Study, utilizing the cognitive behavior therapy program Emotion for sad and anxious children.ResultsThe results show that teachers base their assessments much on person-relative, rather than group- or age relative comparisons, e.g., what is normal for the individual student. …”
