Single-group repeated-measures design.To investigate the ability of wall slide exercise to activate serratus anterior muscle (SA) at and above 90 degrees humeral elevation.Strengthening SA is a critical component rehabilitation for patients with shoulder impingement syndromes. Traditional exercises have included scapular protraction such as push-up plus. These promote activation near elevation, but not in positions where typically experience pain.Twenty healthy subjects were studied...
Background: Knowing how clinical tests are related to each other and whether responsive change critical evidence-based practice sound research. Objective: To determine (1) relationships between six of upper extremity function (2) responsiveness for test during the first months after stroke. Methods: Grip strength test, pinch Action Research Arm Test, Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Nine-Hole Peg Stroke Impact Scale–Hand domain were administered 33 subjects within one, three, Spearman...
After stroke, 80% of patients experience acute paresis the upper extremity and only approximately one-third achieve full functional recovery. Predicting recovery for these is highly important to provide focused, cost-effective rehabilitation. Our purpose was examine if early measures active range motion (AROM) could predict function, describe trajectory AROM over time.
Loss of hand function in people with hemiparesis is a major contributor to disability poststroke. To use the for functional activities, person may need control more proximal upper extremity segments position and orient respect environment fingers manipulate objects within environment. The purpose this project was investigate how movement at proximal, middle, distal contributed loss chronic hemiparesis.32 patients (avg 21.4 months postlesion) were studied making isolated movements shoulder...
This study investigated how the ability to extend fingers and thumb recovers early after stroke all of digits affects grasping performance. We studied 24 hemiparetic patients at 3 13 wk post stroke. At each visit, we tested subjects' actively five their contralesional, affected hand against gravity perform a grasp movement with same hand. Three-dimensional motion analysis captured: 1) maximal voluntary extension excursion digit 2) performance variables time, peak aperture, aperture rate,...
Abstract Pain-related fear is typically associated with avoidance behavior and pain-related disability in youth chronic pain. Youth elevated have attenuated treatment responses; thus, targeted highly warranted. Evidence supporting graded vivo exposure (GET) for adults pain considerable, but just emerging youth. The current investigation represents the first sequential replicated randomized single-case experimental phase design multiple measures evaluating GET pain, entitled Living . A cohort...
Unanticipated direction to cut after landing may alter the lower extremity biomechanics when performing motions. These alterations potentially increase risk of ACL injury. The purpose this study was determine if an unanticipated side-cut affects in females. Eighteen recreational female athletes participated two blocks testing: first block testing consisted three acceptable trials anticipated dominant limb and non-dominant 45-degree diagonal cutting landing, which were performed a...
Some children with chronic pain struggle fear of pain, avoidance behaviors, and associated disability; however, movement adaptations in the context childhood is virtually unknown. Variability adaptive responses previously observed between individuals might be largely explained by presence problematic psychological drivers (eg, fear, avoidance). The goals this study were to quantify variability gait examine relationships among avoidance, function (perceived objective), variability.This used a...
Calcific deposits (CaDs) may be related to chronic postoperative pain and affect function after patellar tendon surgery.Cross-sectional.We hypothesized that patients with CaDs (+CaDs) would rate lower than those without (-CaDs) on measures of knee quality life.Patients completed the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (Lysholm), Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), International Documentation Committee Subjective Form (IKDC), Activity Level Scale. Sixteen postsurgical 16 age-matched...
With the population older than 65 years, projected to double by year 2030, falls in adults are a substantial health concern. Muscle strength deficits one of multifactorial components linked increased fall risk, and decreasing these has been goals interventions designed decrease risk. These have traditionally focused on improving peak torque; however, recent research suggests that exercise protocols focus rate torque development (RTD) may be more effective risk.This case report examines...
The purpose of the study was to determine if preseason and postseason body fat percentages (BF%) change relative playing time in Division I women’s basketball players. Subjects for included 11 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) female collegiate athletes over age 18 from a Midwest public university. Demographic data each subject (age 20.09 +1.81 yrs., weight 71.13 +10.85 kg., height 176.48 + 8.33 cm.) taken before initial assessment. subjects underwent BOD POD® testing get an...

Purpose/Hypothesis: Loss of hand function in people with hemiparesis is a major contributor to disability post stroke. To use the for functional activities, person may need adequate control more proximal upper extremity segments appropriately position and orient respect environment, fngers manipulate objects within environment. The purpose this study was examine how loss movement at proximal, middle, distal related early after stroke, time period when most receive therapy. Number Subjects:...
