Effects Of Two Exercise Programs On Neck Proprioception In Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: A Preliminary Randomized Clinical Trial, Leila Rahnama, Mark Daniel Geil

Faculty and Research Publications

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of specific neck muscle training and general neck-shoulder exercises on neck proprioception, pain, and disability in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. Methods: Twenty-five patients with chronic non-specific neck pain were recruited into this preliminary single-blinded randomized clinical trial. They were randomly assigned to either a specific neck exercise (n = 13, mean aged 24 years) or a general neck exercise group (n = 12, mean aged 25 years). Specific neck exercises included eye-head coordination and isometric deep neck muscle exercises. General neck exercises included neck and shoulder free …

Walking Kinematics In Young Children With Limb Loss Using Early Versus Traditional Prosthetic Knee Prescription Protocols, Mark Daniel Geil, Zahra Safaeepour, Brian Giavedoni, Colleen Coulter

Faculty and Research Publications

The traditional treatment protocol for young children with congenital or acquired amputations at or proximal to the knee prescribes a prosthesis without a working knee joint, based in part on the assumption that a child learning to walk cannot properly utilize a passively flexing prosthetic knee component. An alternative to this Traditional Knee (TK) protocol is an “Early Knee” (EK) protocol, which prescribes an articulating prosthetic knee in the child’s first prosthesis, during development of crawling and transitioning into and out of upright positions. To date, no study has compared samples of children with limb loss at or proximal to …

Four-Week Ankle-Rehabilitation Programs In Adolescent Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability, M. Spencer Cain, Rebecca Ban, Yu-Ping Chen, Mark Geil, Benjamin Goerger, Shelley Linens

Faculty and Research Publications

Context: Researchers have shown that rehabilitation programs incorporating resistance-band and balance-board exercises are effective for improving clinical measures of function and patient-reported outcomes in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). However, whether combining the 2 exercises increases improvement is unknown. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of 3 rehabilitation programs on clinical measures of balance and self-reported function in adolescent patients with CAI. Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial (Trail Registration Number: ClinicalTrails.gov: NCT03447652). Setting: High school athletic training facilities.Patients or Other Participants: Forty-three patients with CAI (age ¼ 16.37 6 1.00 years, height ¼ 171.75 6 12.05 cm, mass ¼ 69.38 …

Advanced Education & Research Training Initiative [Aerti] 2009, Mark Daniel Geil, John W. Michael

Faculty and Research Publications

The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists has long recognized the valuable synergy between research and education, and the mutual importance of each in advancing the field. Consequently, a focal point of an Academy grant initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education has been a systematic analysis of research capacity and advanced education. A grant project in 2004 convened a series of meetings and produced the Advanced Education and Research Training Initiative (AERTI) report.

Continuing the initiative, a multidisciplinary and multinational group of experts convened in Chicago July 17-19, 2009 to review the 2004 AERTI Report, evaluate its recommendations …
