Q

Issue with the term supercrip

A

Presents disability as a challenge that can be overcome with perseverance

Purportedly positive representation becomes in fact quite problematic in that (most importantly for me) it continues to circulate the discourse of negativity surrounding disability; precisely through the language it uses to appear “positive

Q

Societical expectations - the superscrip

A

Reinforces low societal expectations for people with disabilities and sets the standard that all people with disabilities should be able to attain similar feat as that of the disabled hero; failing to acknowledge the diverse ways that disability is experienced

Supercrip narratives may have a negative impact on the physical and social development of disabled individuals by reinforcing what could be termed “achievement syndrome” - the impaired are successfulin spiteof their disability

This type of representation may be seen by the able bodied majority as enlightened.

Q

Using “Inspiration” in rehab

A

(Wadey and Day, 2018)
Inspiration came from:
Looking down to others who were less able yet still living an active life
Witnessing others who are positive, authentic and represent another way of life
However, some found this difficult - comparing themselves who is struggling to a superhero

Transtibial - most common (calf)
Transfemoral - 2nd common (quad)
Double lower amputation i.e. amputation of both lower limbs 3.9% of all amputations

18
Q

Types of amputation and associated difficulties (physical demands of disability)

A

Transtibial amputee

Transfemoral amputee

19
Q

Transtibial amputee

A

Requires about 30% more energy to walk, compared with a non-amputee.
Retain the knee joint, which enables them to walk more efficiently, with limb strength and proprioception below the knee being retained

20
Q

Transfemoral amputee

A

Uses over 70% more energy to walk.
The stump is more difficult to fit comfortably and the resulting gait is less cosmetic, requiring a mechanical knee joint, as well as a prosthetic foot

21
Q

Physical barrier - Pain/Phantom

A

Pain from the residual limb or phantom limb (pain experienced as arising from the limb which has been amputated)

Phantom pain occurs in about 30%-50% of amputees.

The pain can manifest as an occasional stab of mild pain or any degree up to severe, intractable, excruciating, continuous pain.

The term ‘phantom’ can be misleading - very real sensation of pain.

22
Q

Physical barriers

A
Blistering 
Phantom limb pain
Poorly fitting prosthetic
Chronic nature of pain – constant 
Rest-activity cycle
 Painkillers causing drowsiness
23

  • Arms and shoulders are constantly taxed
  • Over exertion &
    pain in the shoulders – the most common problem
  • Soft tissue injuries, pressure sores
  • For those with high Injuries - inability to regulate body temperature
24
Q

Psychosocial challenges of being an amputee

A

Loss of independence and control over one’s life, the fear of being a burden to others, and a concern for the future
(Murray & Forshaw, 2013)
Giving up work and activities that were previously enjoyed
Beginning to use a prosthesis - emotionally ambivalent experience - often unprepared for the difference in capabilities they experienced in comparison to their abilities prior to limb loss
Feeling like a different person - expressing a reluctance to see friends and family

Q

Lack of social well-being - Government Wadey & Day (2018)

Government policies (i.e., Personal Independence Payment, Employment and Support Allowance) impacted and restricted physical activity -

Who can get PIP?
To get PIP, you must:
need help with everyday tasks or getting around, or both
have needed this help for at least 3 months and expect to need it for at least another 9 months

When you try and go for a benefit it’s all about telling people how shit your life is. It’s not trying to see the best in things. In order to get anything you have got to paint your blackest picture of your blackest day in your blackest hour! And then you begin to live it. And then you think, how can I applying for a benefit that says I am not allowed to climb hills or go on a bike again.

Lacking knowledge about what is LTPA, including:

  • What LTPA they would enjoy?
  • How to lead an active life?

Institutions (e.g., hospitals, charities, and limb-centres) and others (e.g., Health Care Professionals, gym instructors, coaches) either lacked LTPA knowledge and resources (e.g., opportunities, barriers, facilitators, benefits, how to tailor exercises for amputees, advise on the ‘right’ equipment to use) and/or that knowledge was disseminated in a patronising manner or devoid of care and compassion.
Health care professionals - know about routes to expertise and capabilities of the different disabilities
