Investigating Professional Development: Comparing Students Self-Assessment with Assessment of the Clinical Instructors
Johana Kontarovsky, SPT
Mentor: Jennifer Hastings PT, PhD
Background: Professional behavior and self-assessment are aspects that are paramount to being a successful medical professional.
Purpose: This purpose of this study was to look at the development of professionalism in the cohort of 2020 at our institution. The concept was to investigate the students’ use of reflection as a foundation for personal and professional development.
Methods: The Self Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS) was given to the SPTs September and December 2017 as well as May of 2020. The …
The Relationship Of Catastrophization, Pain Intensity, And Heart Rate Variability In Acute Pain - A Pilot Study, Carolyn Barbee Spt, Elizabeth A. Waddell Spt, Karin Steere Dpt
The Relationship Of Catastrophization, Pain Intensity, And Heart Rate Variability In Acute Pain - A Pilot Study, Carolyn Barbee Spt, Elizabeth A. Waddell Spt, Karin Steere Dpt
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) can strongly and independently predict adverse health outcomes.Chronic pain conditions are associated with reduced HRV, and HRV may be a biomarker for predicting chronic pain.
Purpose: While pain intensity and catastrophization are associated with chronic pain,the aim of this study is to investigate their relationship with HRV in individuals with acute pain.
Methods: Fourteen subjects from two facilities participated. Data from two participants was excluded. HRV was collected while seated as participants completed an iPad survey. Raw inter-beat interval (IBI) data was analyzed with Kubios software.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were …
Influences Of Balance Confidence, Fear Of Falling, And Fall History On Physical Activity Levels In Community-Dwelling Older Adults, Alison Yang Spt, Holly Roberts Pt, Phd
Influences Of Balance Confidence, Fear Of Falling, And Fall History On Physical Activity Levels In Community-Dwelling Older Adults, Alison Yang Spt, Holly Roberts Pt, Phd
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Physical activity levels generally decline with increasing age. Few studies have examined the influences of balance confidence, fear of falling, and fall history on physical activity levels in older adults.
Purpose: To determine the relationships between balance confidence, fear of falling, fall history, and physical activity level in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: Eighty-eight participants completed the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), Fear of Falling Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire (FFABQ), and a self-reported fall history. They reported their monthly activity levels using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were used to analyze …

Resiliency, Anxiety and Depression Amongst DPT Students–A Survey of Three Cohorts During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Michaela Corbitt, SPT; Amber Odo, SPT
Mentor: Robert Boyles, PT, DSc
Background: Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs are challenging due to the academic rigor, fast-paced learning environment, tuition cost, and feelings of inadequacy. Resiliency involves the ability to cope with stressors presented in daily life. Higher levels of resiliency has been associated with lower levels of depression, stress, and anxiety. This negative correlation may be key for preventing burnout, increasing life satisfaction, and prolonging careers for DPT graduates.
Purpose: To assess resiliency, anxiety and …
Treadmill Training For Infants With Down Syndrome: A Case Study, Mary Ngo Spt, Anna Paradee Spt, Julia Looper Pt, Phd
Treadmill Training For Infants With Down Syndrome: A Case Study, Mary Ngo Spt, Anna Paradee Spt, Julia Looper Pt, Phd
Physical Therapy Research Symposium
Background: Children with Down syndrome (DS) experience motor delays particularly with ambulation. Previous research has suggested that a 5 time per week, 8 minute per session protocol for treadmill training (TT) was effective in earlier acquisition of walking.
Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of a home-based 2 time per week, 20 minute per session TT protocol on the development of independent step taking in an infant with DS.
Methods: A 20-month-old boy with DS, underwent a repair for esophageal atresia at 5 months, and currently uses a feeding tube. He was independently sitting and non-ambulatory. Weekly Zoom meetings were conducted …
