The Effect Of Joint Mobilization On Functional Outcomes Associated With Chronic Ankle Instability, Matthew C. Hoch
The Effect Of Joint Mobilization On Functional Outcomes Associated With Chronic Ankle Instability, Matthew C. Hoch
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries sustained by physically active individuals. Although ankle sprains are often considered innocuous in nature, a large percentage of individuals experience repetitive sprains, residual symptoms, and recurrent ankle instability following a single acute sprain; otherwise known as chronic ankle instability (CAI). In addition to repetitive ankle trauma, those with CAI experience reductions in functional capacity over the life span. This indicates that current intervention strategies for CAI are inadequate and require further investigation.
The objective of this dissertation was to explore differences in walking and running gait parameters between individuals with and without …
Clinical And Functional Assessment Following Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation To The Knee: The Role Of Patient Reported Outcomes, Performance Based Assessment, And Response Shift, Jennifer Sebert Howard
Clinical And Functional Assessment Following Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation To The Knee: The Role Of Patient Reported Outcomes, Performance Based Assessment, And Response Shift, Jennifer Sebert Howard
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a cell based therapy for the treatment of articular cartilage defects. Numerous studies have reported outcomes following ACI using a variety of patient reported outcomes (PROs), but no clear recommendations exist regarding which PRO is the most responsive to changes following ACI. Few studies have documented changes in performance based assessments (PBAs) following ACI. Response shift theory proposes that residual changes in self-report measures occur over time. Failing to account for response shift may result in over or under reporting of outcomes from which clinical decisions are made. The purposes of this dissertation were 1) …
Injury-Induced Hand Dominance Transfer, Kathleen E. Yancosek
Injury-Induced Hand Dominance Transfer, Kathleen E. Yancosek
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
Hand dominance is the preferential use of one hand over the other for motor tasks. 90% of people are right-hand dominant, and the majority of injuries (acute and cumulative trauma) occur to the dominant limb, creating a double-impact injury whereby a person is left in a functional state of single-handedness and must rely on the less-dexterous, non-dominant hand. When loss of dominant hand function is permanent, a forced shift of dominance is termed injury-induced hand dominance transfer (I-IHDT).
Military service members injured in combat operation may face I-IHDT following mutilating injuries (crush, avulsion, burn and blast wounds) that result in …
The Role Of The Hip Abductor Muscle Complex In The Function Of The Pathological Hip Joint, Maureen Kelly Dwyer
The Role Of The Hip Abductor Muscle Complex In The Function Of The Pathological Hip Joint, Maureen Kelly Dwyer
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
The number of patients electing to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the United States has been projected to double by the year 2030, with a growing number of these patients below the age of 65 years. This cohort of patients not only desires to return to pain free daily activity, but wishes to participate in recreation and sporting activities. However, many of these patients report pain, impairments, and functional limitations following THA. The number one deficit observed for patients who fail conventional post-operative rehabilitation is persistent weakness of the hip abductor muscles. In order to safely progress these patients …
Spatiotemporal Postural Control Deficits Are Present In Those With Chronic Ankle Instability, Patrick O. Mckeon, Jay Hertel
Spatiotemporal Postural Control Deficits Are Present In Those With Chronic Ankle Instability, Patrick O. Mckeon, Jay Hertel
Physical Therapy Faculty Publications
BACKGROUND: Postural control deficits have been purported to be a potential contributing factor in chronic ankle instability (CAI). Summary forceplate measures such as center of pressure velocity and area have not consistently detected postural control deficits associated with CAI. A novel measurement technique derived from the dynamical systems theory of motor control known as Time-to-boundary (TTB) has shown promise in detecting deficits in postural control related to chronic ankle instability (CAI). In a previous study, TTB deficits were detected in a sample of females with CAI. The purpose of this study was to examine postural control in sample of males …
Influence Of Varied, Controlled Distances From The Crank Axis On Peak Physiological Responses During Arm Crank Ergometry, Thomas L. Miller, Carl G. Mattacola, Mayra C. Santiago
Influence Of Varied, Controlled Distances From The Crank Axis On Peak Physiological Responses During Arm Crank Ergometry, Thomas L. Miller, Carl G. Mattacola, Mayra C. Santiago
Physical Therapy Faculty Publications
The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of varied, controlled distances from the crank axis during arm crank ergometry (ACE) on peak physiological responses and physical work capacity (PWC). Physiological responses to ACE were evaluated using three controlled distances from the crank axis based on 0°, 15°, and 30° from full extension in the elbow while at the furthest point in the crank rotation. Eleven adult, able-bodied women (age = 24.5 ± 4.7 yrs) performed graded maximal ACE tests at each of three distances from the crank axis. Data were analyzed for differences in peak physiological responses …
Wrist And Hand Injuries In The Athlete, Timothy L. Uhl, Philip Blazar, Greg Pitts, Kelly Ramsdell
Wrist And Hand Injuries In The Athlete, Timothy L. Uhl, Philip Blazar, Greg Pitts, Kelly Ramsdell
Physical Therapy Faculty Publications
Athletes subject themselves to considerable disability. No matter the sport, the hand and upper extremity are among the most commonly injured sites. Frequently, the most debilitating complications of these conditions are the result of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. Unfortunately, many patients with these delayed and misdiagnosis injuries need to be treated with surgical procedures. To compound the dilemma in treating hand and wrist injuries in this population, one needs to appreciate the athletic personality and the mentality that wishes to dismiss hand injuries as minor. It is essential to educate athletes by clearly communicating the risks and complications inherent to …
