Posture And Injury Prevention Program For High School Musicians, Clifford C. Scott, Cassandra Nelson

Summer 2024 OTD Capstone Symposium

Musicians face many musculoskeletal-related injuries due to overuse and repetitive motions (Gembris et al., 2020). These injuries can be mitigated by addressing posture as well as methods to prevent injuries and promote healthier playing. The proposed capstone program is occupationally based and developed to address posture and prevent musculoskeletal injuries among musicians. Occupational therapy can help musicians prevent and treat the development of postural asymmetries and musculoskeletal injuries that inhibit occupational participation and performance in playing their instruments (Ting et al., 2019).

Performance Fatigability And Neuromuscular Responses During And After One Set Of Forearm Flexion Muscle Actions To Failure At 30% Versus 70% One-Repetition Maximum In Men And Women, Tyler Joseph Neltner

Dissertations and Doctoral Documents, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2023–

Previous studies have examined sex differences in performance fatigability during isometric, isokinetic and controlled dynamic constant external resistance (DCER) fatiguing tasks (FT), however, whether those sex differences remain during maximal intended velocity (MIV) DCER muscle actions remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the sex-related differences in the time course of fatigue, neuromuscular responses, and coactivation from the ipsilateral and contralateral limbs during MIV DCER muscle actions to failure at low versus high relative loads, as well as performance fatigability from pre- to post-testing. Twenty-seven college-aged men (n = 14) and women (n = 13) …
