A previous George Fox Study examined the effect of a heavy load eccentric exercise program for patients with achilles tendinopathy (AT) to test the hypothesis of improved outcomes and decreased tendon thickness.

In the primary care setting, fatigue is a common complaint, outnumbered only by cough. 41.9% of patients in an outpatient physical therapy setting reported unacceptable fatigue. Fatigue scores are weakly correlated to physical function and pain interference (using Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information Systems [PROMIS]). Therefore, detecting fatigue and addressing it directly is necessary.

Purpose: To compare strength gains of the supraspinatus and external rotators, and changes in tendon size of the supraspinatus after performing sidelying external rotation (ER) exercise with or without BFR.

Purpose: To determine a way to reduce clinician burden in the identification of individuals at risk for falls.
Qualitative Analysis Of Reflective Narratives Of Physical Therapy Students Attempting To Implement Biopsychosocial Approaches To Care, Ricardo Gonzalez, Sari Harris, Justin Lee, Patrick Mcmahon, Rebecca Wezensky, Jeff Houck, Daniel Kang, Kevin Sellars

Purpose: To examine the learning process of physical therapy students attempting to apply BPS principles to clinical treatment during both an initial training period under mentorship, and during clinical rotations.
Do Generic Health And Population Norm Based Outcomes Adequately Detect Change In Patients Attending Outpatient Physical Therapy?, Li-Zandre Philbrook, Jeff Houck, Jonah Koski, Kyle Johnston, Kyle Sumida, Ben Wagar

The purpose was to determine the ability of Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information (PROMIS) Pain Interference (PI), Physical Function (PF), Fatigue, and Self-Efficacy of Symptom Management (SE) scales to detect change and outcomes compared to population norms at discharge from an outpatient orthopedic clinic.

Center for Disease Control reports the following as fall risk factors: lower extremity weakness, vision problems, and difficulty maintaining balance during walking. Greatest predictor for a fall, is prior fall within the last year. Injury from a fall leads to: fear of falls, inactivity, atrophy, higher risk for falls. Kouzake and Masani (2008) indicated that improvements in postural sway are attributed to light touch increasing proprioception, rather than through mechanical support. Examples of light touch-enhanced proprioceptive feedback: walls and assistive walking devices. Successful strategy in bimanual tasks?

Hallux valgus (HV) is a progressive deformity affecting the foot and big toe and it most commonly affects middle to older aged females. This study explores the validity of the paper pull test to assess the strength and function and utilizes PROMIS scores to assess the relationship between biological and pyschosocial factors in patients with HV.
