Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine if stroboscopic vision significantly effects performance on the YBT-LQ in athletes 12-18 years old, as well as investigating if age or sex effect performance. Previous research has demonstrated the clinical use of stroboscopic vision for athletic performance and rehabilitation, but no study had yet established the effect of stroboscopic vision on dynamic balance. Subjects performed the Y-Balance Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ) and then repeated the YBT-LQ with stroboscopic vision at a rate of 4 hertz (Hz). A repeated measures factorial ANOVAs were used identify significant differences in performance on the YBT-LQ with and …

Evaluating The Need For Return-To-Learn Concussion Protocols In High School Student-Athletes: An Integrative Review, William David Midgette

Over a million high school students are estimated to sustain at least one sports-related concussion annually. Unfortunately, over a third of these student-athletes suffer from post-concussion syndrome, which leads to the question of whether student-athletes are allowed proper time to heal after a concussion or if more can be done to optimize concussion recovery. Proper and optimal recovery post-concussion encompasses both physical and cognitive rest. While concussion management has traditionally focused on the physical aspects of recovery, emphasis has shifted to the cognitive impacts of concussions. There is literature to support that cognitive rest is vitally important, if not equally …
