An Evidence-To-Practice Review On The Efficacy Of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, Matthew G. Moore, Aneika R. Daley, Zachary Winkelmann
An Evidence-To-Practice Review On The Efficacy Of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, Matthew G. Moore, Aneika R. Daley, Zachary Winkelmann
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is the use of specially designed instruments that provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissue to help with decreasing pain and improving range of motion. Over the years, there has been an increase in the use of IASTM as well as an increase in research for its effects on soft-tissue injuries, range of motion (ROM), and pain management; however, the results have not been supported as a whole. Evidence for the positive outcomes from the use of IASTM, in conjunction with therapeutic exercise or other interventions, has been lacking in many studies. As a …
Best Practices In Patellar Tendinopathy Management: An Evidence To Practice Review, Christopher J. Burcal, Adam B. Rosen, Tony Taylor, Mike Nicola
Best Practices In Patellar Tendinopathy Management: An Evidence To Practice Review, Christopher J. Burcal, Adam B. Rosen, Tony Taylor, Mike Nicola
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a degenerative condition that is common in sporting populations due to the loads placed on the tendon during dynamic activity. PT often occurs in overtraining situations; however, it may also occur in conjunction with and/or worsen through poor biomechanics, persistent inflammation, and altered movement patterns. Although sports medicine practitioners have evidence to support the prevalence of this injury, we do not have a strong base of evidence surrounding the contributing factors and pathophysiology that lead the pain and disability reported in patients with PT. The purpose of this evidence to practice review was to summarize a …
Clinician-Administered Versus Self-Administered Suboccipital Release On Superficial Backline Function, Colin Wilhite, Kristin A. Paloncy, Karen Rawkowski, Todd Daniel
Clinician-Administered Versus Self-Administered Suboccipital Release On Superficial Backline Function, Colin Wilhite, Kristin A. Paloncy, Karen Rawkowski, Todd Daniel
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
The effectiveness of trigger point release in the suboccipital region to improve hamstring mobility has been established in the literature, but the research has not clarified whether self-administered soft tissue techniques produce the same improvements to mobility as when the clinician delivers the manual trigger point release. The purpose of the study was to assess whether the same increase in hamstring mobility within the superficial backline function that is achieved with a clinician-administered suboccipital trigger point release can also be obtained through a patient/self-administered method. The study employed a randomized, descriptive laboratory design in which 60 participants reported for a …
Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction In A Collegiate Runner: A Case Report Of A Novel Therapy, Cody Inskeep, Todd Olin, Robert Arthur
Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction In A Collegiate Runner: A Case Report Of A Novel Therapy, Cody Inskeep, Todd Olin, Robert Arthur
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
A 23-year-old male Division I distance runner presented with several years of exertional stridor (high-pitched inspiratory noise caused by airflow obstruction), previously diagnosed as exercised-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), a condition formerly known as vocal cord dysfunction and exercised-induced paradoxical vocal fold motion. Over the course of roughly 3 years, the patient had previously failed conventional and invasive respiratory therapies for EILO including respiratory retraining, inspiratory muscle training, reflux suppression, allergy suppression, amitriptyline, performance psychology, and injection of botulinum toxin to the larynx. At a referral center that specializes in the treatment of EILO, the patient's diagnosis was confirmed through the …
Unique Shoulder Arthroscopies: Snapping Scapula Syndrome And Scapular Nerve Entrapment, Erica L. Taylor, Spero Karas
Unique Shoulder Arthroscopies: Snapping Scapula Syndrome And Scapular Nerve Entrapment, Erica L. Taylor, Spero Karas
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Anatomy Review: The scapula provides the stable base for glenohumeral motion and provides origins and insertions for 17 muscles. The scapulothoracic (ST) joint lacks synovial lining and cartilaginous interface. The anterior scapula glides over the thoracic wall between several bursal and soft tissue planes.1,2 The suprascapular nerve emerges from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus (C5, C6) and travels across the posterior triangle of the the neck of the scapula trough the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches. The suprascapular nerve innervates half of the rotator cuff musculature, the infraspinatus and supraspinatus. Snapping Scapula Syndrome (SSS) occurs when the ST articulation …

Graston Technique® As A Treatment For Patients With Chronic Plantar Heel Pain, Troy R. Garrett, Peter J. Neibert
Graston Technique® As A Treatment For Patients With Chronic Plantar Heel Pain, Troy R. Garrett, Peter J. Neibert
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Use of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage has increased in popularity, and the plantar fascia is a superficial tissue that may benefit from this treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Graston Technique® (GT) for decreasing pain and increasing function in participants with chronic plantar heel pain over a six-week period. A single blind, pretest-posttest control/comparison group design, with a sample of 22 adults (5 males, 17 females) was utilized. Participants were assigned to three groups: GT/stretching, effleurage/stretching, and stretching only. After completion, effleurage/stretching and stretching only groups were later offered GT with posttest scores recorded. …
Treatment Of Scapular Dyskinesis With Reflexive Neuromuscular Stimulation: A Case Report, Alli Z. Powell, Russell T. Baker
Treatment Of Scapular Dyskinesis With Reflexive Neuromuscular Stimulation: A Case Report, Alli Z. Powell, Russell T. Baker
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Scapular dyskinesis is an abnormal movement of the scapula due to poor motor control of the surrounding musculature and can lead to other glenohumeral pathologies. The pathology results in the lateral tilting of the scapula during many glenohumeral joint movements and weight-bearing activities of the upper extremity (i.e., plank). The typical conservative treatment protocol focuses on strengthening surrounding musculature and is often a lengthy protocol. A weakness of strengthening protocols is the failure to address the motor function of targeted muscles at the level of the central nervous system (CNS) to restore dynamic stability and motor control. Reactive Neuromuscular Stabilization …

The Mulligan Concept In The Treatment Of Anterior Knee Pain, Karla S. Judge, Alan Nasypany, Russell T. Baker, James May
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
The purpose of the disablement model case study was to describe the case of a collegiate basketball player suffering from anterior knee pain (AKP). The patient had been experiencing AKP while participating in pre-season basketball related activities (playing, weight lifting, and conditioning) for approximately six weeks. As the intensity increased, the pain became intolerable. Previously, the patient had missed a significant amount of off-season workouts due to surgery for an upper extremity injury sustained during the competitive season. The patient reported tenderness at the inferior pole of the patella, and at the tibial tuberosity. There was no joint line tenderness, …
Short Term Effects Of A Pectoralis Minor Positional Release In Collegiate Swimmers: A Case Series, Jonathan Roman, Noelle M. Selkow
Short Term Effects Of A Pectoralis Minor Positional Release In Collegiate Swimmers: A Case Series, Jonathan Roman, Noelle M. Selkow
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
A tight pectoralis minor correlates to abnormal scapular kinematics, which can cause pain, loss of range of motion and even loss of function, due to the change in scapular position. With these muscular imbalances causing forward scapular posture, the pectoralis minor is a key component to address in the prevention and treatment of shoulder impingement and scapular dyskinesis. This study investigated the effectiveness of a single positional release therapy (PRT) treatment of the pectoralis minor on scapular posture in collegiate swimmers immediately and 24 hours post intervention. Seventeen Division III collegiate swimmers (7 males and 10 females) volunteered to participate, …

Athos Wearable Technology: A Comparison Study, Sara Desmarais, Madeleine Giess
Athos Wearable Technology: A Comparison Study, Sara Desmarais, Madeleine Giess
Senior Theses
Technological advances permit the assessment of new variables, and over time miniaturize and make portable equipment that once was restricted research or clinical settings. Validation of the new equipment is essential before it can be used. This study compared Athos Wearable Technology to a standard form of electromyography (EMG). We hypothesized that Athos would produce a similar percent of MVIC data when compared to a standard EMG during a series of movements. Participants performed five movements, once while wearing the Athos pants, and once while wearing Noraxon Wireless EMG Electrodes on their vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and biceps femoris. The …
Adhd And Social Impairment Among Children: Problem Solving Skills As A Potential Mediator, Rebecca Mccord
Adhd And Social Impairment Among Children: Problem Solving Skills As A Potential Mediator, Rebecca Mccord
Senior Theses
This study tested the hypothesis that problem solving skills mediate the relation between ADHD symptoms and social impairment in children. Problem solving skills were evaluated by the Test of Problem Solving 3 – Elementary Version (TOPS), which separated problem solving skills into six different subtypes: making inferences, sequencing, negative questions, problem solving, predicting, and determining causes. ADHD symptoms were assessed through the parent report of the Disruptive Behavior Disorder Scale (DBD). Social impairment was assessed through the parent report of social skills using the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS). Three hundred seventy-two (372) children between the ages of eight and …
