Greeting Cards: A Lost Art?, Ann Green

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

When people post on Facebook "Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I know" or "Wishing everyone a happy new year" I'm sure they mean it. But to be honest, it doesn't do much for me. The same holds for such FB messages as "My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by [fill in name of disaster]" and "Happy Holidays to all my friends who celebrate [fill in name of holiday]." The people posting aren't actually speaking to, looking at or directing their sentiments to anyone in particular, but to everyone in general, on Planet Facebook anyway. Welcome to …

Normative Percent Differences Between Inter-Day And Inter-Limb Upper Extremity Volume In Healthy Adult Females, Lauren Canady, Emily Henry, Mollie Mccormick, Gabrielle Whisler

University of Dayton Doctor of Physical Therapy Annual Research Symposium

Current diagnostic thresholds vary, but a 5% volume difference between limbs is generally accepted to diagnose lymphedema. Newer research among women with breast cancer-related lymphedema established a 3% threshold for diagnosis of preclinical lymphedema. Understanding normal limb volume fluctuations and side to side differences is important to determine whether this 3% cut point for diagnosis of subclinical lymphedema should be made compared to same or contralateral limbs.

The Influence Of Carbon Composite And Plastic Ankle Foot Orthoses On Balance And Gait In Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study, Hana Goubeaux, Carmen Macy, Tabatha Trauner, Kurt Jackson

University of Dayton Doctor of Physical Therapy Annual Research Symposium

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause lower extremity weakness which may impair balance and gait. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are frequently prescribed to reduce the effects of these impairments. Despite numerous recent advances in the design and materials used for AFOs, there is a lack of evidence to guide clinicians in effective AFO prescription. The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of an anterior shell carbon AFO with a traditional plastic AFO on measures of balance and gait performance.

Test-Retest Reliability Of The Repetitive Step Test In Community Dwelling Older Adults, Harold L. Merriman, Kurt Jackson, Blake Erwin, Adam Hutchison, Mike Loew, Patricia Schutter, Emily Snyder

University of Dayton Doctor of Physical Therapy Annual Research Symposium

Each year one in every three adults over the age of 65 experience a fall resulting in serious injury and in some instances death. In this population, falling injuries are the leading cause of death and are associated with the greatest number of nonfatal injuries and trauma hospital admissions. Since balance and muscle performance decreases as one ages, it is vitally important to assess these factors as part of a comprehensive strategy to monitor and predict fall risk. Previous data analysis of the Repetitive Step Test (RST) has shown that there is a significant performance difference between non-fallers and recurrent …

Glacier recession driven by climate change produces glacial lakes, some of which are hazardous. Our study assesses the evolution of three of the most hazardous moraine-dammed proglacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya—Imja, Lower Barun, and Thulagi. Imja Lake (up to 150 m deep; 78.4 x 10⁶ m³ volume; surveyed in October 2014) and Lower Barun Lake (205 m maximum observed depth; 112.3 x 10⁶ m³ volume; surveyed in October 2015) are much deeper than previously measured, and their readily drainable volumes are slowly growing. Their surface areas have been increasing at an accelerating pace from a …
