1 FY04_2.4.5 Physical Therapy Kinetic Communicator Page 1 of 6 FY04 Technology Fee Proposal Submitting Organization: Major Unit: College of Health and Human Sciences Department: Physical Therapy Contact Person: Carolyn C. Kee ckee@gsu.edu Telephone: Project Short Title: Physical Therapy Kinetic Communicator (strength-testing dedicated computer with software) 2. Total Requested: Fiscal Year 2004 $ 4, a.) Executive Summary: Project Description (three or four sentences) The purpose of this technology fee funding request is to replace obsolete computer hardware and software for our strength-testing machine called the Kinetic Communicator. This computer will be used by students to link exclusively to equipment used to measure strength/force of muscle movement. It will not be linked to the University s computing, networking, and security infrastructure so there is no impact on these systems. b.) Project Description The purpose of this technology fee funding request is to replace obsolete computer hardware and software for our strength-testing machine called the Kinetic Communicator. The CPU we are proposing to replace is a 286 MHz machine with a 20 Mb hard drive. The Operating system was DOS 3.0. This computer hardware and software has two functions 1) it provides operation of the Kinetic Communicator system and, 2) it provides storage for students to obtain their output. All physical therapy students are required to understand the principles of strength training and the operation of strength-training equipment. The Kinetic Communicator provided an opportunity for our students to obtain experience operating a strength-training machine prior to attending their clinical affiliations. For the past two years we have not been able to provide this experience for them since the Kinetic Communicator has not been in

With technology fee funding we will be able to replace the obsolete hardware and software and provide an opportunity for our students to meet their professional objectives. 4. Record the review numbers assigned by UCCS and Facilities. Their assessments must be included in Sections 15 and 16. UCCS: : no impact on the university network Facilities: : none 5. Relevance to Regents Guidelines This proposal is relevant to the following Regents Guidelines: [1] Technology fee revenues should be used primarily for the direct benefit of students to assist them in meeting the educational objectives of their academic programs. [3] Technology fee revenues should be used for hardware and Network related expenditures that include support of general purpose or special purpose laboratories used by students for body productivity and more discipline related activities. [4] Technology fee revenues may be used for training of students and, to a lesser extent, staff and faculty. 6. Relevance to Strategic Plan(s) Our project is relevant to the University, College and Departmental strategic plans since we are seeking to provide learning experiences for graduate students that will prepare the students for successful careers as health professionals. 7. Impact on Students Served There will be approximately 120 students from the graduate physical therapy program and students in the graduate sports medicine program who will benefit from the use of this machine. The machine will be available for student use during GSU normal hours of operation. Students will request use of the machine from the physical therapy departmental secretary. 8. Justification of Funding Requirements for Fiscal Year 2004

3 FY04_2.4.5 Physical Therapy Kinetic Communicator Page 3 of 6 Provide a specific description of the funding requirements for FY2004 in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet below. Itemize and total the following categories of expense. If necessary, add lines to the table below corresponding to accounting objects of expense. Please note that any equipment items less than $4,999 should be categorized as supplies. Object of Expense Itemized Descriptions Quanity Per unit price Extended Total Staff Salaries Item 1 $0.00 Fringe Benefits Item 1 $0.00 Equipment (Note: Use Item 1 $0.00 standard dollar amounts Item 2 and replacement Item 3 thresholds from Item 4 sections 10/11, or Item 5 provide explanation in Item 6 sections 10/11.) Item 7, etc Software Kinetic Communicator software 1 $2, Maintenance or Item 1 $0.00 Contractual Services Supplies Kinetic Communicator CPU $1, Kinetic Communicator monitor $ Construction Services Item 1 $0.00 (Requires review of Item 2 Planning & Facilities) Item 3, etc Network Connections Item 1 $0.00 and Infrastructure Costs Item 2 (Requires review of Item 3 UCCS) Item 4, etc Other Expenses Installation from Kinetic Communicator technicians 1 $ (explain) TOTAL $4, Consequences of Partial Funding State what the consequences would be on the effectiveness and viability of the proposal if it were only funded in FY 2004 at the following percentages of the requested total:

4 FY04_2.4.5 Physical Therapy Kinetic Communicator Page 4 of 6 Only 75% funded: State specifically whether or not the proposed project would remain viable. If the project would remain viable, itemize and total the following categories of expense at 75% funding in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet below. The project would not remain viable. Only 50% funded: State specifically whether or not the proposed project would remain viable. If the project would remain viable, itemize and total the following categories of expense at 50% funding in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet below. The project would not remain viable. 10. Standard Dollar Amounts This is not a computer workstation. 11. Standard Replacement Thresholds The equipment to be replaced is less than 500 Mhz processor speed and is considered obsolete due to a university-wide standard. The university minimum performance criteria are being used. 12. Prerequisite, Non-Technology Fee Funding Not applicable. 13. Matching Funds Not applicable. 14. Staffing and Other Support Availability This unit is housed in the Department of Physical Therapy. The Department of Physical Therapy office staff and faculty have the ability to allow access to the Kinetic Communicator during regular GSU hours of operation. No additional staff will be required. 15. Space Availability and Impact on Facilities Facilities: : none 16. Impact on Computing/Networking/Security Infrastructure UCCS: : no impact on the university network

5 FY04_2.4.5 Physical Therapy Kinetic Communicator Page 5 of Post-Project Assessment Criteria Project Objective(s): 1. Students will use the Kinetic Communicator to assess muscle strength. 2. Students will use the Kinetic Communicator to design a strength-training program. 3. Students will use the Kinetic Communicator to determine the differences among different types of muscle contractions. We will measure the outcomes by determining the number of students who use the Kinetic Communicator each semester, how many times each student uses the Kinetic Communicator each semester, and how well each student performs on the laboratory experiences. 18.
