Objective: Determine differences in running biomechanics female endurance runners between days when they did and not report menstrual cycle-related symptoms. Methods: Observational study. Subjects were provided RunScribe sensors to attach their shoes collect biomechanical data running. Daily during the study period, subjects sent a text message complete survey asking about wellness, status, training status. Descriptive measures (mean ± SD) generated for whether reported being asymptomatic or...
Background: There is no gold standard for a walking orthosis after first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis surgery. Evaluation of plantar pressure measures and patient perceptions different orthoses may assist surgeons to choose postsurgery orthotic. The purpose this study was measure under the distal ray during comfort, stability, preference with 4 in patients history MTPJ arthrodesis. Methods: Crossover university laboratory. Eleven volunteered (8 female, 3 male, age = 59.4 ±...
This paper explores a 24-hr training cycle and how clinicians contribute to an athlete’s transition from recovery readiness. The is divided into three phases: immediate, intermediate, extended. Phase break down meant provide wellness prioritization for the athlete clinician can facilitate sustainable performance during competitive season.
PURPOSE: The menstrual cycle (MC) normally occurs in reproductively mature females. Distance runners often train year around while the state of their MC could range from eumenorrheic to amenorrheic. There is limited empirical information on MC-related effects sport performance reported by female athletes. Our purpose was identify associations between symptoms or birth control (BC) use and influence adult distance runners. METHODS: Female runners, ages 18-40, were recruited via snowball...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) generally have poor continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence. Recent literature has noted improved CPAP adherence and efficacy nasal versus oronasal mask interfaces. We sought to determine if type impacted in OSA/PTSD. This is a subset analysis of prospective, randomized, single blind, cross-over study comparing standard auto-set Sensawake. naïve OSA PTSD were enrolled four weeks after...
Patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) frequently have co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). comorbid PTSD/OSA poor compliance CPAP and worsened clinical outcomes. Previously published data from our lab has shown that non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotics (NBSHs) improve compliance. However, the effect of NBSH on adherence in patients PTSD never been tested. This is a subset analysis prospective, randomized, single-blind, cross-over study comparing standard auto-set to...
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been associated with co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Treatment of OSA in these patients is often complicated by poor compliance continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Sensawake a new, wake-sensing CPAP algorithm that lowers when wake detected. We compared and without among PTSD. The primary outcome was adherence at four eight weeks. Secondary outcomes assessed subjective symptoms. This prospective, randomized, single blind, cross-over...
