CRF is one of the most prominent side effects in cancer patients (Savina & Zaydiner, 2019). 80-100% of cancer patients report experiencing CRF (American Cancer Society, 2020) • Rest was a crucial recommendation for cancer patients, but now it is being replaced with physical activity (Backer et al., 2007). CRF can lead to: (Horneber et al., 2012): decreased physical activity, hinderance of recovery, Mood swings (depression often occurs), exhaustion (physical and mental), impaired physical performance.

Functional Electrical Stimulation For Treatment Of Drop Foot In Stroke Victims, Rebecca Makenzie Beasley
Functional Electrical Stimulation For Treatment Of Drop Foot In Stroke Victims, Rebecca Makenzie Beasley
EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters
The purpose of this study was to observe how FES can improve the side effect of drop foot resulting from a stroke. It was hypothesized that FES can improve the side effect of drop foot caused by a stroke. This study was a randomized, quantitative experimental design study that consisted of two groups whose participants were recruited from local physical therapy clinics: FES group (10 participants) and control group (10 participants). Intervention occurred for six weeks, five days a week for one-hour sessions. Outcomes were measured by passive and active ROM along with pain levels. Limitations in this study are …

The spinal cord serves as the primary neural communication pathway between the brain and most of the rest of the body. Injury to this region of the spinal column can elicit severe, debilitating conditions. According to the National Strength and Conditioning Association (2018), a spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by an injury or disease process of the spinal cord that results in altered motor, sensory, or autonomic functioning (or some combination of these). According to Anjum and colleagues (2020), approximately 250,000 to 500,000 individuals in the world suffer from SCI. SCI pathophysiology consists of acute and chronic phases that …
The Effects Of Dry Needling On Pain, Range Of Motion, And Strength In Elite Overhead Athletes With Shoulder Injuries, Sophia K. Smith
The Effects Of Dry Needling On Pain, Range Of Motion, And Strength In Elite Overhead Athletes With Shoulder Injuries, Sophia K. Smith

Previous literature has examined using dry needling as a treatment method for rehabilitation in shoulder injuries along with physical therapy. The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of dry needling on pain, range of motion, and shoulder strength in elite overhead athletes with shoulder injuries. It was hypothesized that dry needling would decrease pain and increase range of motion and strength in elite overhead athletes with shoulder injuries.

EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder which can be classified 13 different ways. Some key features which distinguish this disease are joint hypermobility, skin fragility, joint pain without arthritis, and rupture of blood vessels and internal organs. This pathology can present itself at any age, and no particular type is more common than another. Ethnicity, race, and gender do not seem to determine prevalence of this disease. 1 in every 20,000 people are diagnosed with classical EDS (Ghali et al., 2019). The process of diagnosing a patient includes examination of medical history, skin and musculoskeletal system, and other factors …
Effects Of Grip Width On Bench Press 1rm In College Males, Alan Bennett
Effects Of Grip Width On Bench Press 1rm In College Males, Alan Bennett
EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters
The Bench Press is said to be the most important of all upper body exercises (Deaton, Ras, 2019). This exercise incorporates several of the muscles in the upper body and is included in training programs for several different sports and activities. The participants of this study were 30 college males, each with at least 1 year of previous training experience and no previous injuries or disabilities that would impair bench press performance. Each of the 30 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of three groups with 10 participants in each group: close grip bench press (100% shoulder width), moderate grip …
Knee Angles During A Walking Gait Analysis, Savannah Hollifield, Karlee Moore
Knee Angles During A Walking Gait Analysis, Savannah Hollifield, Karlee Moore
EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters
The purpose is to determine how knee angles change during specific stages of the walking gait compared to research. The subject is a young, healthy, moderately active adult, so it is hypothesized that the subject’s knee angle change during each stage will fall within the range of a healthy adult’s walking gait.
