Suspension therapy involves using ropes and slings to support the body and limbs during passive or assisted exercises. There are three main types of suspension - axial, pendular, and vertical. Axial suspension moves the limb parallel to the floor from a joint as the point of suspension. Pendular suspension shifts the axis of movement to provide resistance. Vertical suspension supports the body part from its center of gravity. Suspension therapy aims to increase range of motion, muscle strength, and coordination through various techniques for individual joints like shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee.
Goniometry is the measuring of angles created by the bones of the body at the joints.1, 2, 3
The term goniometry is derived from two Greek words, gonia meaning angle and metron, meaning measure. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
System to measure the joint ranges in each plane of the joint is termed goniometry. 4
These measurements are done with instrument such as goniometer, a tape measure, inclinometers or by visual estimate.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
a simple pendulum is a heavy object, suspended by a weightless thread and free to move to & fro..when the pendulum is at rest the thread(rope) is vertical,but if the weight is drwan to one side and then released ,the pendulum will swing to & fro.one complete swing in each directn is called as oscillation,and the extent of swing to any one side from vertical is the amplitude.a force is required to set the pendulum in motion and then the oscillation will continue until it is brought to rest,suddenly,by an opposing force,or progessivy by an opposing force,acceleration is due to gravity.
Suspension is the means whereby parts of the body are supported in slings and elevated by the use of variable
length ropes fixed to a point above the body. Suspension frees the body from the friction of the material upon
which body components may be resting and it permits free movement without resistance when the fixation is
suitably arranged relative to the supported part. This is a frame big enough to take a
single bed
Vertical fixation is used primarily to support, e.g. the abducted upper limb when the elbow is to be moved is
supported from above the centre of gravity of the arm and axial fixation is used over the elbow for forearm
movement
Flexion & ext: The starting position is side lying on pillows and quarter turned to the back. Female patients need two pillows under the head and one under the shoulder to allow the forearm to clear their wider pelvis. The slings and ropes are arranged as described above and again the movement may be limited to the glenohumeral joint and the muscles working over it, or movements of the shoulder girdle may be included.If in addition to the angular movements it is desired to perform rotation of the glenohumeral joint, then only one sling should be used at the level of the elbow and a single pulley rope should be attached to the fixed point above the shoulder. The ends of the sling are attached to each end of the pulley circuit and it will then
be possible to perform medial or lateral rotation with two angular movements
abduction & adduction:The starting position is lying, quarter turned towards the arm which is to be moved (Fig. 8.21A). This allows the normal anatomical movement to be performed in the plane of the scapula. Alternatively, the starting position is prone lying, quarter turned towards side lying with a pillow under the trunk on the side of the arm which is to be moved (Fig. 8.21B). The advantage of prone lying is that the therapist can see the movements of the scapula as well as those of the arm.
Two single ropes are required, one attached to a single sling under the elbow and one to a three-ring sling applied to the wrist and hand. The fixation point is over the shoulder joint.
If the movement is to be only of the glenohumeral joint, the therapist must stand on the opposite side with one hand on the point of the shoulder depressing the scapula. In this form of support either abduction and adduction of the glenohumeral joint, or movements of the shoulder girdle, may be mobilized. Glenohumeral rhythm may be re-educated and all the muscles performing shoulder girdle movements may be worked.
Because of the carrying angle of the forearm it is easier to perform these movements when the arm is
suspended in abduction. The starting position is sitting on a low-backed chair. A single sling and rope
supports the arm in vertical fixation, and a three-ring sling and single rope are fixed to a point above the
elbow joint (Fig. 8.15). The therapist should stand behind as she may need to give additional support by
holding the arm with a grasp inside the sling, which will allow palpation of the flexors and extensors which
are covered by the supporting sling. Alternatively, a folded single sling under the palm, attached to a single
pulley rope, will allow pronation and supination to occur with extension and flexion of the elbow joint.
The starting position is side lying with the underneath leg flexed as far as possible. The fixation point and
sling arrangements are as above, with the limb lifted until it is horizontal. If the movement of flexion is to be mobilized the knee and hip must be flexed together to overcome the passive insufficiency of the hamstrings.Equally, when mobilizing extension the knee should be extended to overcome active insufficiency of the hamstrings
The starting position is lying with the opposite leg abducted to its limit, even if the knee has to be bent over
the side of the plinth and the foot supported on a footstool. The fixation point is immediately above the hip
joint. One sling is put under the lower thigh and one three-ring sling on the foot and ankle; each is attached to
a rope hung from the fixation point. The limb is lifted just clear of the plinth. Using this method of support the
movements of abduction and adduction may be mobilized or the abductor or adductor muscles may be
especially worked with or without manual resistance
The starting position is side lying with one or two pillows between the slightly flexed thighs. One three-ring
sling is applied to the foot and ankle and one rope attached to a fixation point above the knee joint. By
keeping the hip slightly flexed on the trunk the foot can be seen each time the knee is extended and part of
the arc of movement is thus observed by the patient. This position may be used to mobilize the knee joint or
to work the flexors or extensors of the knee
