Exercise Testing And Prescription With Cancer Patients To Help Relieve Cancer-Related Fatigue (Crf), Tanner Hendricks, Paul Williams

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

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.

Exercise Prescription For Patients With Spinal Cord Injury, Maggie Jackson, Mackenzie Sauter

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

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 …

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 …

Exercise Prescription For Patients With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Josh Bolin, Caitie Mayo

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

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 …

The Effects Of Dry Needling On Pain, Range Of Motion, And Strength In Elite Overhead Athletes With Shoulder Injuries, Sophia K. Smith

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

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.

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

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.

Surgery And Conservative Treatment Of The Acl-Mcl Injured Knee, Mason Mcmanimon-Myers

Undergraduate Research Celebration 2018

There is a clinical need to evaluate the effectiveness of nonoperative versus operative treatment of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-medial collateral ligament (MCL) combined knee injury. The incidence of these injuries is frequent in athletic populations and requires the best treatment for optimal patient outcomes and function in day-to-day life as well as athletics. The appraisal focuses on whether or not to pair ACL reconstruction with MCL reconstruction or ACL reconstruction with MCL bracing. Focused Clinical Question: What is the effect on patients with a combined ACL-MCL injury of the knee with conservative treatment compared to surgery on patient reported …

Validation Of Modified Functional Movement Screen (Mfms) In Ncaa Diii Female Soccer Players, Tiffany Widseth

All Zyzzogeton Presentations

Background: The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is comprised of seven tests to identify compensatory movement patterns that may increase injury risk and reduce performance. A modified FMS (MFMS) was created by Augsburg Athletic Trainers to improve screening efficiency and includes three original FMS tests: shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability pushup, and a newly added test; the vertical drop jump (VDJ), all scored on a simplified 0-2 scale. Objective: This study aimed to validate the MFMS for DIII female soccer players. Methods: Sixteen NCAA DIII soccer players and twenty non-athlete controls were recruited and completed two trials of …
