Background Locomotor training (LT) to improve walking ability in people poststroke can be accomplished with therapist assistance as needed promote continuous stepping. Various robotic devices also have been developed that guide the lower limbs through a kinematically consistent gait pattern. It is unclear whether LT either or could kinematic coordination patterns during walking. Objective The purpose of this study was determine physical superior guided, symmetrical, robotic-assisted for...
This study examines the validity of a proxy acculturation scale composed four acculturation-related variables. The authors use data from nationally representative sample 1,437 U.S. Hispanics. Results indicate good internal reliability, high degree correlation between and full measure, substantial agreement dichotomized versions two scales. Although reliability declines slightly, increases with removal generational status scale. Validity is found to be for three largest subpopulations by...
Although misuse of prescription opioids has reached epidemic proportions, pharmacy-based preventive services to combat this are limited. The aims study were identify barriers and facilitators the dispensing intranasal naloxone (INN) by pharmacists in New Mexico.For mixed-methods study, a qualitative component (focus group) informed development quantitative (electronic survey) distributed all registered with Mexico Board Pharmacy practicing state. A 46-item survey included questions about...
Although stroke survivors often display abnormal joint torque patterns, studies of torque-coupling in the lower limb are lacking, despite their potential impact on gait abnormalities.Twenty-two chronic ambulating subjects and 11 age-matched control produced isometric hip torques frontal sagittal planes with hemiparetic leg (or randomly selected for group) postures that resemble stages gait. The involuntary knee were also recorded although no feedback or instructions given.In toe-off midswing...
The present research aimed to describe perceptions and behaviours around the consumption of water sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) by youths.
Background. Limited research addresses interventions to increase physical activity among American Indian and Hispanic preschool-aged children living in rural areas. We examined the impact of a Head Start-based intervention (Child Health Initiative for Lifelong Eating Exercise [CHILE]) on at home. Method. Sixteen Start centers predominantly or communities were group randomized six-component comparison 2 years. Structured surveys administered four assessment times convenience sample caregivers...
Objectives-This study examined WIC policy change effects on dietary intake of preschool children from WIC-participating households in rural New Mexico communities.Methods-Dietary enrolled Head Start 8 communities was compared before and after 2009 food package changes.Results-Following the change, participants reported significantly increased consumption lower-fat milk, reduced saturated fat (grams), decreased vegetables without potatoes.No significant differences fruit, fruit juice,...
One in five Americans experiences disability that affects their daily function because of impairments mobility, cognitive function, sensory impairment, or communication impairment. The need for rehabilitation strategies to optimize and reduce is a clear priority research address this public health challenge. National Institutes Health (NIH) recently published Research Plan on Rehabilitation provides set priorities guide the field over next 5 years. plan was developed with input from multiple...
To ascertain whether sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) students at a Hispanic-serving institution who experience violence are more likely to interference with their academic lives when compared heterosexual, cisgender students, and how this relationship differs by race/ethnicity. Data came from 736 undergraduate university in the Southwestern United States responding 2017 Campus Climate Survey. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted on self-identified SGM reported lives. The model...

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
IntroductionDissemination and implementation science focuses on bridging the gap between research practice. The Community Preventive Services Task Force published recommendations for increasing physical activity based scientific review consensus. Little dissemination of these has been conducted in under-represented populations at high risk inactivity chronic disease.MethodsPartnering with one rural community (beta site), University New Mexico Prevention Research Center studied translation to...
Limited research exists exploring the perceptions of healthy and unhealthy eating among Hispanic families, yet understanding their could inform public health practice with regard to nutrition obesity prevention. This study conducted an exploratory analysis interview data collected from 25 parent–child dyads as part a program evaluation learn more about both parent child beliefs practices regarding eating, in particular fruit vegetable consumption. Families described incomplete knowledge...
Given the impaired motor output of lower limb post-stroke, we argue that cortical damage alters modular control structure underlying muscle activation patterns during both static and dynamic tasks. Muscle synergies were extracted from EMG collected isometric hip torque production performed by chronic stroke subjects. The group presented a reduction in synergies, consistently displaying only two four characteristic identified group. These findings do not support generalized co-contraction...
Background: A tri-ethnic rural community with limited resources and a university Prevention Research Center (PRC) developed partnership to promote evidence-based physical activity.
