Rehabilitation Of A Post-Surgical Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair, Emily Nicholson, L Webber
Thinking Matters Symposium Archive
The purpose of this literature review is to demonstrate a plan for the rehabilitation of ulnar collateral ligament tear post-surgery and return to play quickly and safely. This poster will demonstrate a protocol to follow for an athlete post reconstruction of their UCL to regain range of motion, to strengthen, to stabilize and to prepare the shoulder joint to return the athlete to an overhead throwing sport.
Metabolic Costs Of Blood Flow Restriction Training Under Moderate Load To Failure, Ian Byron, Chris Chessie, Matthew Smith, Logan Carman
Metabolic Costs Of Blood Flow Restriction Training Under Moderate Load To Failure, Ian Byron, Chris Chessie, Matthew Smith, Logan Carman

This research focused on the metabolic costs associated with squatting to failure and squatting to failure with blood flow restriction cuffs. Each individual training program lasted a total of three weeks; consisting of two training days per week. Two groups were used for this study; proximal occlusion of legs and non-occluded legs. The occlusion group left the cuffs on until their final set was complete and pressure was maintained at 140 mmHg. The final session was monitored by a metabolic cart which recorded oxygen consumption levels throughout the workout. Oxygen consumption levels can be used to estimate aerobic costs, which …

The aim of this research is to illustrate a protocol of non-operative treatment of an Achilles rupture and discover the best practices for the rehabilitation process. The sources of the literature search included the following databases: SAGE and BioMed Central A complete Achilles rupture is a condition that may affect athletes as well as the general population. A majority of these injuries occur during a combination of exaggerated dorsiflexion of the ankle and forceful plantarflexion. Evidence has shown that overuse injuries such as chronic inflammation or other tendinopathies correlate to this injury. It’s common to get the Achilles tendon surgically …

The purpose of this project was to construct a rehabilitation protocol using therapeutic exercises carried out to return to play. The protocol was for a soccer player in the college setting who has sustained a torn ACL. The sources that we use include databases from EBSCO, physiopedia, hindawi and google scholar. ACL injuries are common in soccer players. It is important that the sports medical field has a good understanding on how to preform a rehabilitation protocol for athletes that are recovering from ACL reconstruction. Injuries to the ACL can occur with direct contact or non-contact. A cut-or-plant movement is …
The Effects Of Blood Flow Restriction Training On Strength And Hypertrophy; Is It Worth It?, David Donovan, Clarissa El-Hajj, Ryan Koenig, Seth Wing
The Effects Of Blood Flow Restriction Training On Strength And Hypertrophy; Is It Worth It?, David Donovan, Clarissa El-Hajj, Ryan Koenig, Seth Wing

We examined the effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Strength and Hypertrophy involving 3 female and 5 male subjects. Participants came in to train twice a week for 3 weeks and were randomly assigned to either the BFR or non-BFR group. Resistance exercise included lifting a weight to muscular fatigue or wearing blood flow restriction cuffs during resistance training to muscular fatigue performed on the smith machine. Squat exercises were performed on different days, lifting a weight at 50% of a 1 repetition maximum for a total of 3 sets with a 90 second recovery after the 1st and …
