It is the most common type of psoriasis, often appearing on the knees, postauricular area, elbows, scalp, and lower back.

Mckenzie Based Approach For Screening Lumbar Spine In A Patient With A Hamstring Strain: A Case Report, Daniel Diperna

Case Report Presentations

Research presentation slides:

Background and Purpose: The leading cause of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders globally is low back pain (LBP). Historically, research efforts have been focused on the pathoanatomical causes of LBP. However, recent evidence found a high prevalence of structural abnormalities in the lumbar spine using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in asymptomatic patients and it is common that spinal pathology is the true culprit for patients referred to physical therapy (PT) with extremity diagnoses. Therefore, research has shifted to focus on classification systems to group patients based on subjective responses to specific movement patterns. The purpose of this case report …

College Students' Health Insurance: A Focus On Foreign-Born Students' Healthcare, Phuong Le

Undergraduate Research Symposium Podium Presentations

This research is to explore the uninsured rates of foreign-born students from the age of 18 to 24, including those who study abroad in the United States from foreign countries, immigrants of the U.S. who are green-card holders, and residents/citizens who were not born in the U.S. It is found that there is no significant difference between Asian foreign-born students and other racial groups of foreign-born students, suggesting that there may not be a big cultural difference in perceiving health insurance among foreign-born students. In general, foreign-born students are 19.34 percentage points more likely to be uninsured. Statistical analysis has …
