- Identifying Information If actual patient cases are included in the article, please refer to patients by their first name and last initial (e.g., John B.).
- Tables, Figures, and Graphics We recommend including tables, figures, and/or graphics where appropriate to help clearly communicate your information. When a table, figure, or graphic has been originally created by you, please note that. If you are using a table, figure, or graphic that has been previously published, you must provide proof of permission from the original creator/owner.

- Photos If including original photos, please ensure they are high-resolution for printing (at least 300 dpi) and that you are either the owner of the photos or have permission to use them. If a therapy session is depicted in a photo, appropriate safety measures must be evident, including proper helmet fit. Signed release forms must accompany photos that show clients. Please include photo captions and credits. If using stock photos, please provide proof of purchase. Do not include any photos that you do not have express permission to use from all parties.
