Cognitive-Motor Interactions In Gait And Postural Control And Cortical Network Neurocorrelates, Nathan Morelli
Cognitive-Motor Interactions In Gait And Postural Control And Cortical Network Neurocorrelates, Nathan Morelli
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
The ability to mitigate performance decrements during the concurrent completion of cognitive and motor tasks (i.e., dual task (DT)) deteriorates in patients with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). It is theorized that the long-term sequelae of mTBI are due to the return to full activity prior to neurophysiologic healing. To mitigate the negative outcomes associated with mTBIs, translational clinical research of neurophysiologic recovery is of paramount importance for both athletic and non-athletic populations. Despite the well-known health consequences, clinical decisions regarding neurophysiologic recovery and return to activity remain problematic for clinicians. Return to activity decisions are currently based on normalization …
Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of A Pain Neuroscience Education Curriculum For Patients Who Experience Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain With Concurrent Opioid Dependence, Nicole D. Windsor
Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of A Pain Neuroscience Education Curriculum For Patients Who Experience Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain With Concurrent Opioid Dependence, Nicole D. Windsor
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is estimated to affect over 100 million adults annually and is targeted as an instigator of opioid dependence (OpD). Opioid medications are often the first response for patients suffering from CMP, but over 10 million people annually admit to misusing opioids. With the opioid epidemic, the healthcare system now has a population of patients who experience CMP with concurrent OpD. This persistent problem creates a perfect storm of fear of movement, low self-efficacy, and physical dysfunction. A critical component to chronic pain management is understanding how patients view their pain experience. Education may be one …
Changing The Perspective In Management Of A Progressive Neurological Disorder: Developing Interventions To Target Multifactorial Components Of Parkinson’S Disease With Emphasis On Improving Clinical Meaningful Outcomes, Jordana Christine Lockwich
Changing The Perspective In Management Of A Progressive Neurological Disorder: Developing Interventions To Target Multifactorial Components Of Parkinson’S Disease With Emphasis On Improving Clinical Meaningful Outcomes, Jordana Christine Lockwich
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Neurological disorders are currently the leading source of disability in the United States with Parkinson’s disease (PD) having the fastest growing incidence rate (Abate et al., 2017). PD is the second most common degenerative disease in older adults above 60 years old (Tysnes & Storstein, 2017) and epidemiology reports predict that the number of PD cases has doubled to 6 million since 1990 (Dorsey, Sherer, et al., 2018) It is estimated that PD prevalence will continue to rise with a projected 60,000 new cases in the United States by 2030 (Dorsey, Elbaz, et al., 2018) and has the potential to …
Effect Of Blood Flow Restriction Training On Functional And Self-Reported Outcomes In Female Runners With Patellofemoral Pain, Lauren Nicole Erickson
Effect Of Blood Flow Restriction Training On Functional And Self-Reported Outcomes In Female Runners With Patellofemoral Pain, Lauren Nicole Erickson
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is the leading cause of lower extremity injury in female runners, significantly limiting running ability and becoming chronic in nearly 50% of the cases. This condition, which presents as pain around (peripatellar) or behind (retropatellar) the patella, is associated with significant weakness of the quadriceps and gluteal musculature, as well as altered movements mechanics. The challenge for clinicians is designing an effective treatment program to reduce pain and improve function without causing symptoms to flare. Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is a relatively new training method within rehabilitation that involves placing a pressurized cuff to the …
The Influence Of Physical Health, Emotional Health, And Socioeconomic Factors On The Musculoskeletal Pain Experience In Patients Attending A Pro Bono Physical Therapy Clinic, Garrett Naze
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Non-communicable, chronic diseases are highly prevalent in the United States, reducing the quality of life for those affected and contributing to the majority of the nation’s healthcare expenditure. These conditions include, among others, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disease. Musculoskeletal disease is particularly of interest for the field of physical therapy as the vast majority of patients seeking care in the outpatient setting present with musculoskeletal pain complaints, resulting in limitations in function, participation, and quality of life for the patient.
The factors influencing health outcomes are diverse and include a person’s physical environment, social and economic factors, access to …
Development Of A Field Expedient Screening Tool For The Coach To Identify Musculoskeletal Risk Factors In Baseball Players, Kyle Andrew Matsel
Development Of A Field Expedient Screening Tool For The Coach To Identify Musculoskeletal Risk Factors In Baseball Players, Kyle Andrew Matsel
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Identification of musculoskeletal (MSK) injury risk factors in baseball players can be challenging particularly for youth and high school coaches. Many baseball coaches lack a sports medicine and/or strength and conditioning staff to assist with injury prevention initiatives. Given the extensive responsibilities in managing the team and preparing the players for athletic competition, little time remains to focus on injury prevention and arm care programs. Furthermore, assessment, diagnosis, and management of MSK impairments is outside the scope of practice and expertise of baseball coaches. However, educating and empowering the coach to efficiently screen their players for potentially injury producing MSK …
