This study suggests that there are sex differences in vocational attitude maturity. In the four-school stratified sample of eleventh grade boys and girls studied, the girls scored significantly higher than the boys in vocational attitude. No sex differences in overall level of self-esteem, as measured by the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, were found. For both sexes a significant relationship between the over all level of self-esteem and vocational attitude maturity was indicated, with the relationship being higher for males than for females. The self-concept variables of self-satisfaction, family, and moral-ethical self were found to contribute to the vocational attitude maturity of males. For females, the self-concept variables of identity and moral-ethical self contributed to their vocational attitude maturity.

The aim of this review paper is to summarize recent developments in the field of wearable sensors and systems that are relevant to the field of rehabilitation. The growing body of work focused on the application of wearable technology to monitor older adults and subjects with chronic conditions in the home and community settings justifies the emphasis of this review paper on summarizing clinical applications of wearable technology currently undergoing assessment rather than describing the development of new wearable sensors and systems. A short description of key enabling technologies (i.e. sensor technology, communication technology, and data analysis techniques) that have allowed researchers to implement wearable systems is followed by a detailed description of major areas of application of wearable technology. Applications described in this review paper include those that focus on health and wellness, safety, home rehabilitation, assessment of treatment efficacy, and early detection of disorders. The integration of wearable and ambient sensors is discussed in the context of achieving home monitoring of older adults and subjects with chronic conditions. Future work required to advance the field toward clinical deployment of wearable sensors and systems is discussed.

Applied Linear Regression Models

Panoramic video image acquisition is based on multiple overlapped sub-images. We will demonstrate high-resolution panoramic video by employing an array of five video cameras viewing the scene over a combined 360-degrees of horizontal arc and 50-degrees vertical. The five live video streams are digitized and processed in real time by a computer system. The camera lens distortions and colorimetric variations are corrected by the software application and a complete panoramic image is constructed in memory. Users can navigate the scene by wearing a head mounted display (HMD). A single window with a resolution of 800x600 is output to the HMD. A real-time (inertial-magnetic) orientation tracker is fixed to the HMD to sense the user’s head orientation. The orientation is reported to the viewing application through an IP socket, and the output display window is positioned (to mimic pan and tilt) within the full panoramic image in response to the user’s head orientation.

Randomized Controlled Trial of CBT with Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for PTSD: (695432011-005)

This paper describes the use of Virtual Reality in four projects within a Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center at the University of Southern California. The Research Center aims to develop and assess a range of technologies for people aging with and into a disability. One of the deliverables of this Center will be the development of a Virtual Rehabilitation Toolkit, a series of Virtual Reality video based games for use with a range of impairments for a variety of disabilities including spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy.

Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy Compared to Prolonged Exposure Therapy With and Without D-Cycloserine

We have developed a novel VR task: the Dynamic Reaching Test, that measures human forearm movement in 3D
space. In this task, three different stereoscopic displays: autostereoscopic (AS), shutter glasses (SG) and head
mounted display (HMD), are used in tests in which subjects must catch a virtual ball thrown at them. Parameters such
as percentage of successful catches, movement efficiency (subject path length compared to minimal path length), and
reaction time are measured to evaluate differences in 3D perception among the three stereoscopic displays. The SG
produces the highest percentage of successful catches, though the difference between the three displays is small,
implying that users can perform the VR task with any of the displays. The SG and HMD produced the best movement
efficiency, while the AS was slightly less efficient. Finally, the AS and HMD produced similar reaction times that
were slightly higher (by 0.1 s) than the SG. We conclude that SG and HMD displays were the most effective, but only
slightly better than the AS display.
