The Effect Of Cryotherapy And Inflammation And Myofiber Regeneration Following Skeletal Muscle Injury, Noah Macniven Apr 2021

The Effect Of Cryotherapy And Inflammation And Myofiber Regeneration Following Skeletal Muscle Injury, Noah Macniven

Sports Medicine Student Work

Cryotherapy is a widely used modality to treat acute skeletal muscle injury. Traditionally, cryotherapy is used immediately following an injury to accelerate the healing process by decreasing pain, inflammation and secondary hypoxic injury. Recent studies conflict with this long-standing practice and have suggested that cryotherapy may actually impair the myofiber regeneration process after muscle injury due to suppression of the inflammatory process. Therefore, delaying the healing process. A critical appraisal was conducted on three studies that have examined the inflammatory markers and markers of muscle regeneration. These studies were conducted over the past five years and have examined the effects …

Influences On Female Athletic Training Graduates During Their Transition To Professional Practice, Heather Wood

Sports Medicine Student Work

Context: Career socialization includes the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and shared attitudes of a profession. The career socialization process of graduates from athletic training (AT) bachelor’s programs have been studied; however, these results are not necessarily applicable to graduates of an entry-level master’s (ELM) program. This change may result in different experiences and socialization processes of the students. Objective: Describe the experiences ELM students have as they transition from the professional to organizational socialization phases. To understand how their experiences, socialization agents, and the global pandemic have impacted their first professional employment opportunities. Design: Qualitative Study (In-depth Interviews).

He Effects Of Vestibular Rehabilitation On Reaction Time: A Critically Appraised Topic, Christian Miles Apr 2021

He Effects Of Vestibular Rehabilitation On Reaction Time: A Critically Appraised Topic, Christian Miles

Sports Medicine Student Work

In the U.S, mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) account for 5-10% of all athletic injuries at the high school and collegiate levels. Following mTBI, reaction time is often delayed, which can increase risk for additional injury. Research shows that vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) for mTBI/concussion can reduce symptoms and reduce recovery time; however, research is limited on the effects of VRT on reaction time. Therefore, the purpose of this research project was to critically appraise current evidence on the effects of VRT on reaction time in patients with an mTBI or concussion. To achieve this objective, I conducted a literature …

The Effects Of Lower Body Positive Pressure Treadmill Running On Acute Femoral Cartilage Deformation, Megan Graff, Kenneth P. Clark, John J. Smith, Nicole M. Cattano

Sports Medicine Student Work

Purpose: Examine and compare the acute response of femoral cartilage in healthy individuals after running at full bodyweight (BW) (100%) and 80% BW on a lower body positive pressure treadmill. Methods: Crossover study consisted of 20 total healthy participants (10 males, 10 females). Femoral cartilage width was assessed using ultrasonography before and after the assigned running conditions. The control condition consisted of running at 6mph for 30 minutes at 100% BW, while the experimental condition consisted of running at 6mph for 30 minutes at 80% BW. Each participant ran both BW conditions, exactly one week apart. The order of conditions …


Evaluating The Outcomes Of A Health Career Summer Academy For Underserved Youth, Alyssa M. Smith, Daniel J. Baer Apr 2020

Evaluating The Outcomes Of A Health Career Summer Academy For Underserved Youth, Alyssa M. Smith, Daniel J. Baer

Sports Medicine Student Work

Purpose: The Health Career Summer Academy (HCSA) is a one-week program that introduces students from underserved populations to various health careers and areas of study in health sciences. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this week-long summer academy increased characteristics of positive youth development, promoted transferrable skills, and increased interest in college and/or health sciences careers. Methods: In 2017 and 2018, seventy-three participants (mean age = 13.6) from the greater Philadelphia area completed anonymous online surveys on the first day and final day of HCSA programs at West Chester University, Arcadia University, and Rosemont College. Surveys included …
