Patellofemoral Joint Stress During Uphill And Downhill Running In Healthy, Theresa French, Brooks Klein, Young Lee
Patellofemoral Joint Stress During Uphill And Downhill Running In Healthy, Theresa French, Brooks Klein, Young Lee
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Subjects: Twenty recreational runners participated (mean age of 24.9 years). Methods: Kinematics and kinetics of the trunk and lower extremity were obtained at 3 conditions: level, 6° uphill, and 6° downhill, at a speed of 2.3 m/s. PFJ stress was determined using a biomechanical model that incorporates knee flexion angle and knee extensor moment as subject-specific input variables. The model output consisted of PFJ reaction force, PFJ stress, and PFJ contact area. One-way ANOVAs with repeated measures and post-hoc t-tests with a Bonferroni adjustment were used to compare outcome variables across the 3 conditions. Results: Peak PFJ stress during downhill …
Impact Of An Exercise Program On Stress, Fatigue, And Quality Of Life For Individuals Living With Primary Immunodeficiency Disease, Kerri Sowers
Department of Physical Therapy Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Background: There are over 300 Primary Immunodeficiency diseases (PID) that are a result of a genetic or idiopathic dysfunction of any aspect of the immune system. These conditions result in a higher frequency of infections, autoimmune conditions, or malignancies. Moderate intensity exercise is thought to help the immune system, while high intensity exercise may have a negative impact on immune function. The impact of exercise on individuals with an impaired immune system due to PID is not yet understood. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a low to moderate intensity exercise program would have an effect …
Correlating Residual Stress With Personal And Professional Characteristics In Aircraft Pilots, Erik Eckblad
Correlating Residual Stress With Personal And Professional Characteristics In Aircraft Pilots, Erik Eckblad
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Every day aircraft pilots must successfully resolve significant inflight situations and then manage the possibility of residual psychological and physiological stress. Previous research has shown primary attention is given to presignificant event training and stress management, however there remains an important gap in the current literature regarding postsignificant event stress within the aviation profession. The purpose of this cross-sectional quantitative study was to use the observational lens of stress theory and survey U.S. pilots who have experienced an inflight emergency, looking for correlation between factors such as age, gender, flight experience, and training against a pilot's self-reported level of residual …
Stress Less With Art Therapy, Delaney M. Rogers
Stress Less With Art Therapy, Delaney M. Rogers
Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is "a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.” While creating art on your own at home is not the exact same as official art therapy, it has been shown that this form of art can help to decrease stress levels. For my Honors Capstone Project I have reviewed the research and studies …
Tissues And Trauma: Pain Neuroscience Education For Veterans With Post-Traumatic Stress And Low Back Pain, Timothy Mark Benedict
Tissues And Trauma: Pain Neuroscience Education For Veterans With Post-Traumatic Stress And Low Back Pain, Timothy Mark Benedict
Theses and Dissertations--Rehabilitation Sciences
Low back pain (LBP) is the top reason for Soldiers to seek medical care and one of the top reasons to be medically discharged. Mental health problems and psychosocial stressors have been increasing in Soldiers and are also top causes for medical discharge. Dysregulated stress has contributed to many Soldiers and Veterans to develop chronic LBP as well as mental health disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research suggests that psychosocial characteristics, as opposed to physical factors or tissue health, contribute to chronic pain the most. Focusing entirely on tissues for individuals seeking care for LBP can increase disability and …
