Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
With the incidence of concussion in sport on the rise, it is crucial that the concussion assessment tools utilized by health care professionals be accurately administered in the appropriate setting. It may be important to consider the environment of test administration between baseline and post-injury assessment to allow appropriate return to play decisions. At present, there is limited research on the effect of testing environment on Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2 (SCAT2) baseline scores. Our objective for the study was to investigate if testing environment affects SCAT2 scores in healthy male collegiate club lacrosse players and healthy female club soccer …

Shoulder injuries are very common in sports such as baseball, football, and tennis due to high impact and stress placed on the shoulder joint. Due to the greater chance of shoulder injuries in these types of sports, it is imperative for shoulder injury assessments to be accurate in order to ensure that the athlete does not participate with an injured shoulder or lose participation time due to an incorrect assessment. In order to assess the validity of the Apprehension, Relocation, and Surprise test for shoulder instability, student athletes with no known shoulder injuries were evaluated. Tests were conducted under the …

A Two-Hour Basketball Practice Increases Landing Error Scoring System Scores In Female Collegiate Basketball Players, Caroline Wesley
Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
The high rate of knee injuries in women’s athletics has been well documented in recent years. There are multiple factors which contribute to the increased risk of injury in female athletes, including biomechanics when landing. Fatigue has also been examined as a contributing factor to injury, but few studies have utilized actual sport participation as a fatiguing protocol. No study has used the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) to examine the changes that may result from fatigue. The objective of our study was to use the LESS to examine the effects of a two-hour basketball practice on the landing biomechanics …
