Use Of The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (Lefs) In A Patient After A First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Implant: A Case Report, Courtney Brinckman

Case Report Posters

First metatarsolphalangeal (MTP) total joint implants are uncommon; however, hemi implants have increased in popularity. The. HemiCAP® (Franklin, MA) implant resurfaces the metatarsal head while leaving the distal phalanx intact. While early results of the HemiCAP(®) implant surgery have been promising, physical therapy outcome measures such as the LEFS have not been extensively studied in this population. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a sensitive and reliable outcome measure that has commonly been used in patients with hip and knee dysfunction. While the LEFS has been used for a broad spectrum of lower-extremity pathologies, there is a paucity of …

Restoring Functional Mobility In A Patient With Delayed Onset Of Physical Rehabilitation Following A Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Case Report, Bettie Kruger, G. Noel Squires

Case Report Posters

Typical rehabilitation post-stroke is initiated as soon as the patient is medically stable. The most dramatic neurological recovery occurs within the first three to six months following medical stabilization. It has been suggested in the literature that early and frequent out of bed activity within the first 24 hours following stroke onset will enhance motor recovery. The patient in this case report was sedentary for three months following the onset of stroke and was non-ambulatory at the time of admission to sub-acute physical therapy. The purpose of this case report is to describe the rehabilitative course, motor recovery, and functional …

The Clinical Decision Making And Outcomes Of A Patient With C7, C8 Radiculopathy And Contralateral Upper Quarter Lateral Epicondylitis: A Case Report, Courtney Naimi

Case Report Posters

Preliminary diagnosis and management strategies exist for both cervical radiculopathy (CR) and lateral epicondylis, however little literature exists describing the clinical decision making and management in the presence of both conditons simultaneously. Management of (CR) (right side) can include neural mobilizations, manual therapy, and exercises. Management of lateral epicondylis (left side) can include eccentric tendinopathy management and manual therapy. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the diagnosis and management for a patient presenting simultaneously with right C7, C8 cervical radiculopathy and contralateral lateral epicondylis.

Hypertension Patient Compliance, Taylor Myers

University Honors Program

Hypertension is a prevalent condition in the United States that often has many comorbidities. It is usually asymptomatic, so patients are less likely to comply with treatment if they feel healthy. This is a growing concern due to the complications that can arise from hypertension. Hypertension can be associated with a lower quality of life in patients that have symptoms. However, in patients that do not show symptoms they may feel that they have a higher quality of life by not changing their preexisting habits. The reasons for patient noncompliance will be studied as well as interventions to increase compliance, …

Functional Skill Training And Group Therapy Treatment Following A Total Hip Arthroplasty In The Acute Care Setting: A Case Report, Heidi Johnson

Case Report Posters

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common degenerative condition, often developed during middle and older ages, especially in those with more active lifestyles. Although OA can occur in any joint throughout the body, it most often develops in weight-bearing joints, such as the hip. In 2011 more than 28 million people in the United States were estimated to have OA. OA can lead to pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, decreased strength, and in turn an overall decline in functional ability. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is becoming more widely utilized as a means for gaining mobility and independence when a person’s …

Genetic Parameters For Docility, Weaning Weight, Yearling Weight, And Intramuscular Fat Percentage In Hereford Cattle, J. A. Torres-Vázquez, Matthew L. Spangler

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Cattle behavior, including measures of docility, is important to beef cattle producers not only from a human safety perspective but also due to potential correlations to economically relevant traits. Field data from the American Hereford Association was used to estimate genetic parameters for chute score (CS; n = 25,037), weaning weight (WW; n = 24,908), yearling weight (YW; n = 23,978), and intramuscular fat percentage (IMF; n = 12,566). Single-trait and bivariate animal models were used to estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations. All models included fixed effects of sex and contemporary group, defined as herd–year–season, and direct genetic and residual …
