Use Of Blood Flow Restriction To Treat And Rehabilitate Patients Ages 18 To 40 Year Old From Postoperative Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Alec Green Almquist
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) is being shown to have many positive applications for the medical, and strength and conditioning fields. Recently, researchers and physical therapists have been applying these same concepts to patient populations of all ages and are using BFR to assist patients who have undergone major surgeries. A main goal for the use of BFR in rehabilitation is to increase quadricep strength in the rehabilitating patient, while also decreasing stress loads on the knee joint, whether it be the tibiofemoral joint or the patellofemoral joint. This decrease in stress helps the repairing tissue to recover strength without …
Use Of Feedback Mechanisms Versus Exercise Alone For Treatment Of Patients With Scapular Dyskinesis, Jill Contreras
Use Of Feedback Mechanisms Versus Exercise Alone For Treatment Of Patients With Scapular Dyskinesis, Jill Contreras
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Scapular dyskinesis is more prevalent in overhead athletes and can also lead to eventual shoulder injuries or shoulder dysfunction. Therefore, a rehabilitation program to manage or treat scapular dyskinesis is important. The effectiveness of feedback modalities used in combination with exercise may be more beneficial in treating and or managing scapular dyskinesis versus just exercise alone. Purpose: In overhead athletes with scapular dyskinesis, does the use of an exercise program with biofeedback (taping, visual, verbal, surface EMG, video, tactile cueing, and conscious control) reduce the risk of shoulder injury versus exercise alone? Results: Seventeen peer-reviewed articles were examined utilizing …
Does Implementing Neck Strengthening Exercises Reduce The Risk Of Concussion?, Brandon M. Desrosiers
Does Implementing Neck Strengthening Exercises Reduce The Risk Of Concussion?, Brandon M. Desrosiers
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: There is currently no standard process or preventative method to reduce the risk of concussions. Researchers have claimed that new helmet technology, q-collar necklace, and mouthguards can reduce concussions, but the evidence is lacking. Neck strength is emerging as a possible preventative method to help athletes decrease the likelihood of sustaining a concussion. The theory suggests that individuals with stronger neck muscles will engage their cervical muscles during a collision, reducing the deceleration of the head. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to answer the clinical question, does implementing neck strengthening exercises into an athlete’s workout program reduce …

Use Of Supplemental Iron For The Enhancement Of Physical Performance In Competitive Non-Anemic Female Athletes, Annalese M. Lamke
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Iron has been a commonly prescribed supplement for female athletes to take, but there is little evidence to support if iron supplementation can help improve non-anemic female, athlete’s performance. There is still a lack of unity to determine whether iron can be beneficial to a female athlete during their competitive season regardless of their blood iron status. Purpose: The purpose of this literature review is to determine the impact of iron supplementation on physical performance in competitive non-anemic female athletes. Results: Seventeen articles were selected after following evaluation procedures utilizing the PEDro Scale, CASP, and the Critical Appraisal of …

Balance Training Improves Dynamic Control In Acl Deficient Athletes Or Anterior Cruciate Reconstruction, Illexus Martin
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. The ACL serves as a stabilizer against anterior translation of the tibia on the femur and is among the most commonly studied injuries in orthopaedic research. After ACL reconstruction a typical return to play generally occurs 6 to 9 months after ACL reconstruction (ACLr). It’s extremely important to develop an effective and efficient rehabilitation program to ensure athletes are physically and mentally prepared to return to sport. Purpose: Does balance training improve dynamic control in ACL deficient athletes or ACL reconstruction? Results: Fifteen scholarly articles …
Use Of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections For Treatment In Patients Diagnosed With Achilles Tendinopathy, Nicole M. Pearson
Use Of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections For Treatment In Patients Diagnosed With Achilles Tendinopathy, Nicole M. Pearson
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Achilles tendinopathies are common among individuals who are active, usually participating in a sport with a high volume of repetitive motion. Historically, these injuries have been treated with conservative home exercises. If the patient exhausts their conservative treatment options, the next step is typically surgery to repair the tendon (Maffulli, 2015). Recently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have become more commonly used to treat musculoskeletal injuries and are considered minimally invasive procedures. This allows the patient to return home immediately post injection and return to activity within a few days. However, the research shows mixed results in terms of its …
Efficacy Of Kinesio Taping Combined With Eccentric Exercise In Decreasing Pain In Motion For Overhead Athletes With Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Ester Vang
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Rotator cuff tendonitis is an injury that can occur in overhead athletes with overuse and eccentric training has shown to help relieve any pain with rotator cuff tendonitis. Kinesio taping (KT) is becoming increasingly popular in the athlete population. KT and eccentric training could be beneficial and effective together, but also remains unsolved as KT has many unanswered questions. The purpose of this critical review is to determine if eccentric exercise combined with KT is superior than with just eccentric exercise in rehabilitation for overhead athletes in order to decrease pain while in motion. There were 17 articles in total …
Use Of Subthreshold Aerobic Activity Versus Rest Alone For Treatment In Patients Diagnosed With A Concussion, Kesenya R. Havlicek
Use Of Subthreshold Aerobic Activity Versus Rest Alone For Treatment In Patients Diagnosed With A Concussion, Kesenya R. Havlicek
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Treatment of concussions has historically included rest until asymptomatic, but the latest concussion consensus statement questioned the effectiveness of this treatment. Ambiguity continues to prevail amongst sports medicine practitioners on whether rest or subthreshold aerobic activity will aid in quicker symptom resolution and shorter duration of the injury. Purpose: Do patients, who have been diagnosed with a concussion, have decreased symptoms and a quicker return-to-play when subthreshold aerobic exercise is used in their treatment versus rest alone? Results: Twenty-five scholarly articles were analyzed using a matrix format and were evaluated with the PEDro Scale, CASP Questionnaire, or a series …

Does Active Recovery Provide Faster Reduction In Symptoms And A Faster Return To Play For Colege Athletes Compared To Conservative Rest After A Concussion?, Tyller Matthew Robert
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Purpose: Sports-related concussions are one of the most hotly debated topics in sports medicine today. Research surrounding concussion has experienced significant growth especially in the areas of incidence, assessment, and recovery. Previously athletes were told to rest after suffering a concussion. Athletes were told to limit physical and cognitive activities; they were instructed to avoid anything that may increase or reaggravate their symptoms. Current research is now recommending active recovery programs and stating that just resting detrimental for athletes after suffering a concussion and can prolong recovery time. Guided aerobic exercise is currently the best recommended form of active recovery. …
