The Effects Of The Incentive Approach On Physical Activity And Sleep Utilizing Wearable Fitness Technology, Katie A. Schmidt, Courtney J. Sheets, Kassi A. Thiel, Morgan G. Wolf, Seth A. Paradis
Human Kinetics & Applied Health Sciences Student Works
PURPOSE: Wearable fitness technology (WFT) is a relevant tool in analyzing physical activity and sleep. Sleep and physical activity have symbiotic roles in maintaining wellness and returning the body to homeostasis. Currently, research is lacking in demonstrating effects of intensification on physical activity using WFT. This study analyzed the effects of incentivisation on physical activity and its relationship to sleep using the UP Jawbone. METHODS: 35 Bethel University students (16 males, 19 females) were recruited, ages 18-23 (20.49 years ± 1.44 years) and randomized into the control (17) or incentivized group (18). Sleep and physical activity data were recorded for …

The Effects Of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Scapular Motor Control Intervention On The Rehabilitation Of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, Madison R. Dorn, Rebekah R. Shindelar, Rick C. Hjelm, Seth A. Paradis
Human Kinetics & Applied Health Sciences Student Works
OBJECTIVE: Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) accounts for 44-65% of total shoulder complaints. Previous research has analyzed the effectiveness of scapular-focused SIS treatment, but little research has been performed evaluating the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) treatment. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of PNF scapular motor control intervention for SIS. METHODS: Patients from the Roseville Medical Center ages 18-64 were randomized to a PNF-treatment or control group to undergo a 4 to 6 week intervention. Prior to each visit, patients completed the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) functional survey and evaluated their …
The Effect Of Loaded Backpack Usage On Balance After A Functional Daily Stair Task, Shanni Moorse, Alyssa Haus, Seth A. Paradis
The Effect Of Loaded Backpack Usage On Balance After A Functional Daily Stair Task, Shanni Moorse, Alyssa Haus, Seth A. Paradis
Human Kinetics & Applied Health Sciences Student Works
Backpack usage is common among many age groups, including college students. As students go about their daily routines, they may reach cardiorespiratory fatigue (CRF). CRF achieved via a treadmill workout has been shown to significantly increase body sway during balance tasks compared to pre- fatigue values. Additionally, it has been shown that increasing backpack loads decreases balance ability. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to combine these two ideas to assess the effect of loaded backpack usage on balance by quantitatively measuring balance after a functional daily stair task (FDST) designed to resemble CRF. METHODS: 7 male and 13 …

Degree Of Knowledge, Potential Barriers, And Reasons For Finding Out About Genetic Testing, Lisa Ann Atkinson, Drew Alexander Holm, Michael Jacob
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Genetic testing is a resource that continues to evolve and change the world of medicine. The availability of such testing has created opportunities for many to better understand and take control of their health. However, studies show that the general population is still lacking in awareness toward genetic testing and what it has to offer. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge about genetic testing and participant’s feelings towards finding out about a possible inheritable disease. A nine question survey was distributed to 156 participants at two Minnesota schools and one Minnesota clinic. The study found that …

Non-Pharmacologic Measures To Prevent And Treat Gestational Diabetes, Dikshya Aryal
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Gestational Diabetes (GDM) can have adverse effects on the health of both mother and baby during pregnancy and for a lifetime thereafter. While insulin is the mainstay of treatment, metformin and glyburide may be considered as alternatives (Carroll & Kelley, 2014). Pregnant mothers, however, may be hesitant to use pharmaceutical therapies, preferring natural alternatives (Zaki & Albarraq, 2014). Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify and examine effective non-pharmacological interventions for the prevention and the management of GDM. Results: Twenty-one articles were included in this review and thirteen studies support the use of certain diets (Mediterranean or …

Midwife Provider Education And Screening Can Prevent And Decrease The Prevalence Of Perinatal And Postpartum Depression: A Critical Review Of The Literature, Suzanne M. Chatters
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: Perinatal and postpartum depression (PPD) has a diagnosed prevalence of 10-20%. Experts theorize that up to 60% of women experiencing PPD do not seek help. Mental depression carries a negative stigma in western culture and medicine. It is however, both a natural occurrence and physiologic disorder. If unaddressed, depression can become a severe and dangerous condition for both women and their children. The transition to motherhood presents with multifactorial influences such as hormonal, physical, and mental changes. Pregnant women in particular, who are experiencing a change in hormonal status, sleep pattern disruption, and personal role identity are at risk …

Dynamic Knee Hyperextension Screening As A Predictor Of Acl Injury Potential In Competitive High School Soccer Players, Jon-Paul W. Ciszewski, David Mcgehee, Jessica Schindler
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: Young, active populations who play sports that include sudden cutting motions, are at heightened risk of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Female athletes with increased joint laxity and subsequent hyperextension of the knee, are at greatest risk of ACL injury when compared to males. Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to explore the incidence of dynamic knee hyperextension in high school soccer athletes by sex and team level, as observed through high-speed photography. This could lead to a potentially practicable screening tool for identifying high school soccer athletes at increased risk of ACL injury. Methods: …

End-Of-Life Education And Preparedness Of Physician Assistants In Minnesota And The Surrounding States, Julie Ann Graner, Lukas Steffan, Zachary Stutzman
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As the population in the United States ages, palliative care spending and needs have been increasing. Most quality outcome measures, however, have shown inadequate satisfaction among patients and caregivers. A number of studies have investigated the preparation and preparedness of physicians and other medical providers when dealing with end-of-life care, but few have looked in the preparedness of physician assistants (PAs). The aim of this study was to assess the preparedness of PAs when it comes to dealing with end-of-life care and to determine when and how comfort is achieved when dealing with patients at end-of-life. A novel electronic survey …

Routine Screening For Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies During Pregnancy: Universal Versus Targeted, Megan M. Gross
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: There are currently no guidelines for screening for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) during pregnancy. Currently, there is some debate as to whether pregnant women should be screened for TPOAb, universally, or using a risk-based approach. In addition, there is conflicting evidence suggesting the implications of positive TPOAb testing during pregnancy and their effect on not only the pregnancy, but also the postpartum period and the fetus. Purpose: To determine whether TPOAb should be screened for during the first trimester of pregnancy; and if so, to determine if a risk-based approach or universal screening method is more appropriate. Results: Twenty-four …
