Latin Heritage Month. Carlos Juan Finlay: Outrageous, Courageous And Correct, Dorothy E. Berenbrok
Latin Heritage Month. Carlos Juan Finlay: Outrageous, Courageous And Correct, Dorothy E. Berenbrok
Posters: Jefferson History
In 1855, a modest Cuban physician named Carlos Juan Finlay graduated from Jefferson Medical College. He was among JMC’s first dozen Hispanic graduates, initially signing the registrar’s log as “Charles”. He left Philadelphia at the age of 22 to begin private practice. Preceptor and close friend S. Weir Mitchell, among others, urged Finlay to work among the burgeoning Spanishspeaking population in New York City, but he returned to Cuba and set up practice in Matanzas, a town near Havana. He took a binocular microscope with him, similar to one used byMitchell, which would serve him well for many years.

Use Of Manual Therapy And Sport Specific Re-Training In An Adolescent Elite Sprinter With Bilateral Pedicle Stress Fractures: A Case Report, Erika Lopez
Case Report Posters
Bilateral pedicle stress fractures are extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. The pedicle is known to be the second weakest point of the vertebra, has a short moment arm from the vertebral body, and can resist a large amount of cyclic shear forces. The main causes of lumbar pedicle stress fractures are shear stress and twisting stressors, followed by sudden hyperflexion or hyperextension of the spine. There have been several reports describing pedicle stress fracture in adolescent athletes. However, in those reports the fracture was usually associated with contralateral spondylolysis, and isolated pedicle fractures are rarely found. …

Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training And Overground Gait Training In The In-Patient Setting For An Individual With Chronic Stroke: A Case Report, Stephanie Bordignon
Case Report Posters
795,000 people in USA have a new or recurrent stroke each year, leaving them with spatiotemporal gait abnormalities. Following D/C from in-patient rehab, many patients continue to experience activity limitations & participation restrictions secondary to limited walking ability. The use of BWSTT & overground GT has been shown to improve bilateral coordination and gait symmetry for patients with chronic stroke. Evidence for BWSTT rather than overground GT is mixed and does not include representation for the young stroke population. The purpose of this case report was to describe the outcomes of gait speed, efficiency of gait, and fall risk in …

Use Of Complete Decongestive Therapy And A Task-Oriented Approach In Treating Secondary Lymphedema And Improving Ambulation In A Patient Following A Stroke: A Case Report, Snezhana Rudakova
Case Report Posters
Every year, approximately 795,000 people in the United States experience a new or recurrent stroke. More than 30% of the survivors cannot walk independently six months following a stroke. Of those who are able to walk independently, only a small proportion can walk with sufficient speed and endurance to be able to function within the community. Paralysis of the extremities leads to a decreased and ineffective muscle pumping action, resulting in lymph stasis. Lymphedema is the tissue fluid accumulation that arises due to impaired lymphatic drainage. Fluid accumulation further increases difficulty with ambulation post stroke. The purpose of this case …
Strengthening Exercises And Modalities To Prevent Growth Of Hypertrophic Scarring And Improve Wrist Strength And Mobility: A Case Report, Maggie Masiak
Case Report Posters
There is no gold standard for evaluation, treatment, and prevention of keloids. Keloids are elevated fibrous scars that extend beyond the original borders of the wound, they do not regress and they tend to reoccur even after surgical excision. Individuals younger than 30, with elevated hormone levels and darker skin tend to be at higher risks for keloids. The most susceptible areas are on areas of high tension like the sternum, shoulders, upper arms, earlobes, and cheeks. Scars are generally evaluated by depth of elevated tissue, color, softness, shape, and orientation. The etiology of keloids is uncertain but it is …
Using The Selective Functional Movement Assessment And Regional Interdependence Theory To Guide Treatment Of An Athlete With Back Pain: A Case Report, Gabriella Goshtigian
Using The Selective Functional Movement Assessment And Regional Interdependence Theory To Guide Treatment Of An Athlete With Back Pain: A Case Report, Gabriella Goshtigian
Case Report Posters
Incidence of low back pain (LBP) is as high as 36% among adolescents and even more prevalent in those who play sports. The majority of these cases lack an underlying diagnosis and are classified as non-specific LBP. Previous injury and longer durations of pain consistently emerge as prognostic factors in musculoskeletal pain. This affects movement patterns which then continue to contribute to dysfunction. The Regional Interdependence Theory (RI) views all regions of the body as being musculoskeletally linked, with impairments in remote regions to site of pain often being a cause. The Joint-by-Joint Theory compliments RI by arguing that joints …

Functional Training To Reduce Fall Risk In A Patient Following Cancer Treatment: A Case Report, Kristin O'Kelly
Case Report Posters
The National Cancer Institute reports that 39.6% of men and women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. Studies have demonstrated that over half of cancer survivors age 55 and over have fallen in the past year, possibly as a result of treatment and subsequent muscle weakness, difficulty with balance, and impaired walking. Multiple studies have looked at the long term effects of cancer treatment and survivorship, but few studies look at interventions to combat decline in function. The purpose of this case report was to report the interventions utilized in the treatment of an individual …
The Use Of Manual Therapy And Strengthening Exercises To Improve Plantarflexion Strength And Mobility Following Achilles Tendon Repair: A Case Report, Jason Glikman
Case Report Posters
An Achilles tendon rupture is classified as ‘chronic’ or ‘neglected’ if it has been untreated for four or more weeks. PT management for all Achilles ruptures is to gain Plantarflexion (PF) strength, ankle ROM, and decrease scar tissue. Neglected ruptures increase scar tissue formation, causing delay in regaining functional strength and mobility. Decreased strength and mobility can lead to gait impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Literature is limited on best therapy for neglected Achilles tendon ruptures. The purpose of this case report was to add to the literature pertaining to neglected Achilles tendon ruptures and to report upon the …
Multimodal Physical Therapy Management Of A Patient With Unilateral Neglect Post-Stroke In An Outpatient Setting: A Case Report, Meghan Riley
Case Report Posters
A common behavioral syndrome of stroke is unilateral neglect (ULN) which is defined as the failure to report, respond, or orient to stimuli presented contralateral to the brain lesion. ULN has a negative influence on functional recovery and is associated with a poor functional outcome following a stroke, therefore several rehabilitative approaches have been proposed and implemented to decrease neglect and improve patient recovery. There are currently limitations within the research regarding the efficacy of PT interventions to decrease ULN symptoms. In addition, the optimal PT interventions and treatment strategies is unclear. The purpose of this case report is to …

The Use Of Postural Reeducation And Strengthening Exercises In The Reversal Of Functional Scoliosis: A Case Report, Cory Marcoux
Case Report Posters
Non-structural scoliosis: abnormal spinal curvatures that have sufficient mobility, and can therefore resolve with postural change. There is a multitude of research regarding structural and idiopathic scoliosis, but very minimal literature about non-structural (functional) scoliosis and more importantly, how to treat it. The purpose of this case report was to examine the use of stretching, strengthening, and postural reeducation for a patient who presented with a non-structural scoliosis.

Pediatric hip fractures are uncommon. 85 to 90 percent of pediatric hip fracture are a result of high-energy trauma. There is a paucity of literature describing best rehabilitation practices. Agility outcome measures, as well as observational and video gait analysis have not been fully investigated in the rehabilitation of pediatric hip fractures. The purpose of this case report was to investigate the use of agility outcome measures, as well as observational and video gait analysis in the rehabilitation of a fourteen year-old male motocross athlete with a hip fracture.
Treatment Of A Patient With Thoracolumbar Scoliosis Utilizing A Regional Interdependence Approach Including Components Of The Schroth Method: A Case Report, Samantha Fisk
Case Report Posters
Spinal deformity is a challenging spinal disorder in adults. A scoliotic curve of >10 degrees exists in up to 12% of the population. There is little evidence regarding indications for physical therapy treatment in elderly individuals with adult scoliosis. Current study results favor surgical intervention, but not all elderly individuals are surgical candidates. While surgery is the definitive measure, there is limited evidence to guide non-surgical treatment. This case investigated components of the Schroth method, as an adjunct to traditional physical therapy (PT) treatment. A Regional Interdependence approach (RIA) was utilized for a patient with scoliosis referred to PT for …
