Sleep And Function In Patients With Multiple Sclerosis, Nawar Aljundi, Kelsey Arvai, Michael Mitchell, Jennifer Martin, Abdulghani Sankari, M. Safwan Badr

Medical Student Research Symposium

Introduction: Fatigue is a core symptom of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and impairs function and quality of life in this patient population. Studies show that sleep-disordered breathing is also common in persons with MS and may exacerbate fatigue symptoms. Within a larger study of patients with spinal cord injuries and disorders, we evaluated the relationships among sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity, sleep quality, and functional outcomes in patients with MS. Our objective was to examine the impact of SDB severity on the severity of fatigue and functional impairment in this population.

Methods: Twenty-five subjects (average age=57(11), min=35, max=79; 80% male; average …


Internal Training Load In Collegiate Basketball Players: Effort Ratings Vs. Heart Rate Measurements In Ncaa Dii Players, Amber Stephens Apr 2020

Internal Training Load In Collegiate Basketball Players: Effort Ratings Vs. Heart Rate Measurements In Ncaa Dii Players, Amber Stephens

Honors College Theses

BACKGROUND: College basketball is an intense team sport that utilizes both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to play a 40-minute-long game and cover around 2-3 miles on average per game (Narazaki et al 2009). The high workloads can lead to fatigue, which increases injury risk (Garbenytė-Apolinskienė et al 2019). The purpose of this study is to compare subject ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) with objective measures of heart rate during pre-season training.

METHODS: Male and female basketball players from a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II school wore a heart rate monitor (Firstbeat™) during the first …


Multiple Dimensions And Correlates Of Fatigue In Individuals On Hemodialysis: A Quantitative Study, Bincy Joshwa Jan 2019

Multiple Dimensions And Correlates Of Fatigue In Individuals On Hemodialysis: A Quantitative Study, Bincy Joshwa

Wayne State University Dissertations

Background: Fatigue is present in individuals on Hemodialysis (HD). Evidence on fatigue in HD are limited by focus on unidimensional aspect of fatigue, flawed unidimensional tools, lack of objective measures, and variability in the correlates of fatigue. Purpose: To examine severity and trajectory pattern of fatigue; delineate influencing physiological and situational factors pre-dialysis and post-dialysis. Theoretical Framework: The Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms was used to guide the study. Methodology: A descriptive, correlational, before-after design was utilized. Measures were Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS)-12, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS)-Fatigue, Charlson Comorbidity Index and six-minute walk test (6MWT). Adults, cognitively intact …
