Steven L Wolf, PT, PhD, FAPTA
Dr Wolf has given much to the physical therapy profession through his teaching, research, and service. He has an extensive publication record of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications that reflect his interest and expertise in biofeedback, neuromuscular re-education, and management of patients with chronic pain, among others. His work spanned the basic science areas early in his career and has shifted more recently to large-scale clinical research that corresponds to the most urgent need within the profession of physical therapy. Dr Wolf's influence has reached beyond the United States, and he is a much sought-after lecturer internationally. As a researcher, he has had a profound effect as one of the most consistent and productive researchers. Over his career, he has been a part of 37 funded peer-reviewed grant proposals, and he is listed in more than half as either the Principal or Co-Principal Investigator. The funding totals an astounding $30 million.
His profound experience as one of the cutting-edge researchers in physical therapy and as a superb educator and his international reputation—in addition to his many contributions to the professional association—have qualified him for this highest award the Association can provide.
Dr Wolf's distinguished career is highlighted by numerous awards, including the Marian Williams Research Award, Gold Pen Award, Catherine Worthingham Fellow of the APTA, Lucy Blair Service Award, Helen J Hislop Award for Excellence in Contributions to Professional Literature, the Foundation for Physical Therapy's Robert C Bartlett Recognition Award, the Section on Geriatrics Outstanding Published Paper Award, and the Neurology Section Outstanding Research Award.</jats:p
WOLF DISTRIBUTION AND ROAD DENSITY IN MINNESOTA
No full textDistribution of the wolf (Canis lupus) in parts of Wisconsin (Thiel 1985) and Michigan and Ontario (Jensen et al. 1986) has been related to the density of roads passable by 2-wheel-drive vehicles. Wolves in those regions generally do not occur where road densities exceed 0.58 km/km2, whereas similar areas nearby with fewer roads do contain wolves.
In a small segment of the wolf range in Minnesota, wolves did not have territories where roads exceeded a density of 0.73 km/km2 (T. K. Fuller, Minn. Dep. Nat. Resour., unpubl. data). In another small area of Minnesota with 0.73 km of roads/ km2, \u3e50% of known wolf mortality was caused by humans despite prohibitions of the Endangered Species Act, but wolves survived there probably because the area was surrounded by an extensive wilderness reservoir (L. D. Mech, un-publ. data)

Exploring the bases for a mixed reality stroke rehabilitation system, Part I: A unified approach for representing action, quantitative evaluation, and interactive feedback
No full textAbstract Background Although principles based in motor learning, rehabilitation, and human-computer interfaces can guide the design of effective interactive systems for rehabilitation, a unified approach that connects these key principles into an integrated design, and can form a methodology that can be generalized to interactive stroke rehabilitation, is presently unavailable. Results This paper integrates phenomenological approaches to interaction and embodied knowledge with rehabilitation practices and theories to achieve the basis for a methodology that can support effective adaptive, interactive rehabilitation. Our resulting methodology provides guidelines for the development of an action representation, quantification of action, and the design of interactive feedback. As Part I of a two-part series, this paper presents key principles of the unified approach. Part II then describes the application of this approach within the implementation of the Adaptive Mixed Reality Rehabilitation (AMRR) system for stroke rehabilitation. Conclusions The accompanying principles for composing novel mixed reality environments for stroke rehabilitation can advance the design and implementation of effective mixed reality systems for the clinical setting, and ultimately be adapted for home-based application. They furthermore can be applied to other rehabilitation needs beyond stroke.</p

Extinguishing a Learned Response in a Free-ranging Gray Wolf (<i>Canis lupus</i>)
No full textA free-ranging Gray Wolf (Canis lupus), habituated to human presence (the author) on Ellesmere Island, Canada, learned to anticipate experimental feeding by a human, became impatient, persistent, and bold and exhibited stalking behaviour toward the food source. Only after the author offered the wolf about 90 clumps of dry soil over a period of 45 minutes in three bouts, did the wolf give up this behaviour. To my knowledge, this is the first example of extinguishing a learned response in a free-ranging wolf and provides new insight into the learning behaviour of such animals.</jats:p
