A Global Perspective Of Postural-Related Shoulder Pain (Prsp), Zoe Geiger, Kiley Pinder, Kasey Cottrill, Holly Roberts
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: During a physical therapy service trip to Zacapa, Guatemala, in March 2019, ten of 106 patients were treated for symptoms of PRSP. Their pain was often exacerbated by repetitive work-related tasks performed with poor posture such as doing laundry by hand, carrying loads overhead, manual labor, and childcare.
Methods: A brief review of the literature was performed to determine global differences in PRSP and effective treatment interventions. PubMed, Collins Memorial Library, and Google Scholar were searched using search terms including “postural-related”, “work-related”, “shoulder pain”, and “global”.
Results: Nine full-text articles were retrieved and reviewed. PRSP was reported in Ethiopian …
Autonomic Nervous System Changes In Individuals With Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review Of The Literature, Dr. Karin Steere, Jason Steere Dpt, Kasey Cottrill, Zoe Geiger
Autonomic Nervous System Changes In Individuals With Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review Of The Literature, Dr. Karin Steere, Jason Steere Dpt, Kasey Cottrill, Zoe Geiger
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
PURPOSE: The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between heart rate (HR) or blood pressure (BP) and chronic pain conditions.
BACKGROUND: Treatment of chronic pain has placed enormous economic burden on the healthcare system. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation is correlated to chronic pain. One measure of ANS dysregulation is heart rate variability (HRV), and decreased HRV can predict adverse future prognosis in a variety of conditions. While HRV validly measures ANS dysregulation, inexpensive and quicker measurements of HR and BP have been less investigated.
METHODS: Searches in PubMed, Ovid, Google Scholar, and CINAHL were performed using …
Common Experiences And Beliefs Among Highly Active, Older Adults, Alex Knapp Spt, Dominick Post Spt, Danny Mcmillian Pt Dsc
Common Experiences And Beliefs Among Highly Active, Older Adults, Alex Knapp Spt, Dominick Post Spt, Danny Mcmillian Pt Dsc
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Research on correlates and determinants of physical activity has shown that age and motivation are associated with physical activity. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) provides a well-researched framework for understanding motivation, and proposes that the satisfaction of three primary psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness, fuels motivation for physical activity and promotes wellness.
Purpose: Use SDT to identify experiences and beliefs that affect motivation for physical activity in older adults and provide a narrative approach to share their “movement stories.”
Methods: Participants were recruited using nominated sampling and a public advertising campaign. Participants were at least 55-years old with International Physical …

Demographics and Treatment Strategies Utilized During a Service-Learning Trip to a Medically Underserved Region: Guatemala 2019
By Anna Chang, SPT, Alex Knapp, SPT, and Holly Roberts, PT, DPT, GCS, NCS
BACKGROUND: Students in the Global Health Perspectives in Physical Therapy elective at the University of Puget Sound participated in a five-day service-learning trip. They partnered with a host organization to provide physical therapy services in Zacapa, Guatemala.
PURPOSE: Synthesize demographic information and intervention plans to educate physical therapists and students to effectively evaluate and treat medically underserved populations abroad.
METHODS: Age, gender, physical therapy diagnosis, and type of intervention were …
Latent Effects Of Stress On Delayed Modulation Of Chronic Low Back Pain: Case Series, Roger Allen Phd, Pt, Anna Chang Spt, Catherine Mooney-Myers Spt, Lauren Gallison
Latent Effects Of Stress On Delayed Modulation Of Chronic Low Back Pain: Case Series, Roger Allen Phd, Pt, Anna Chang Spt, Catherine Mooney-Myers Spt, Lauren Gallison
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the temporal relationship between psychogenic stress and perceived intensity of chronic low back pain (LBP). LBP was chosen as a pilot condition prefacing a larger research effort to determine which variants of chronic pain may manifest latent psychogenic modulation based on previous studies of neuropathic pain conditions.
Methods: The study consisted of five subjects, one male and four females, ranging from 19-32 years old and chronicity of pain ranging from 5 months to 6+ years since diagnosis. Over 12-15 weeks, participants completed daily visual analog pain, stress, and pain-related function scales. …
Physical Therapy Student Perceptions Of A Global Health Service Learning Experience: A Qualitative Synthesis, Marissa Ginnett Spt, Meagan Patrick Spt, Cassandra St. Martin Spt, Holly Roberts
Physical Therapy Student Perceptions Of A Global Health Service Learning Experience: A Qualitative Synthesis, Marissa Ginnett Spt, Meagan Patrick Spt, Cassandra St. Martin Spt, Holly Roberts
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background and Purpose: In March 2019, eight physical therapy students (SPTs) from University of Puget Sound traveled to Zacapa, Guatemala to work with Hearts In Motion to deliver rehabilitation services and education for five days as part of a global health service learning experience (SLE). Throughout the SLE, students responded to journal prompts reflecting on their experiences. This analysis explores the impact of student experiences by identifying recurring themes in journal entries.
Methods: Eight students provided written consent for analysis of personal journal entries. Three student reviewers completed a qualitative evaluation of journals using a constant comparative method. Reviewers used …
Current Trends In Pediatric Physical Therapy Practice For Children With Down Syndrome, Beka Johnson, Julia Looper, Alyssa Fiss
Current Trends In Pediatric Physical Therapy Practice For Children With Down Syndrome, Beka Johnson, Julia Looper, Alyssa Fiss
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background. There is limited practical consensus among physical therapists (PTs) about which characteristics of DS are ‘PT related problems,’ and insufficient research evidence regarding what a PT intervention should entail. Purpose. Understand current PT practice for children with DS.
Methods. A survey was designed and distributed via mail to 1000 randomly selected members of the Academy of Pediatric PT. It included seven demographic questions and two open-ended questions regarding common impairments and interventions for children with DS. PTs who had not treated a patient with DS within the last year were not included in this study. Data Analysis. Responses were …

Title: Head-Shake Sensory Organization Test Performance in Concussed Military Service Members.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe performance on the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and Head-Shake SOT (HS-SOT) in military service members with concussions.
Subjects: Seventeen military service members (16 men, mean 32.47 +/-8.01 years) who sustained a concussion within the past 24 months.
Methods: Participants completed the SOT and HS-SOT, Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). Separate analyses were performed with subjects divided into groups based on concussion history(>3), and DHI score (>13).
Results: Participants had a mean DHI score …
