To determine the magnitude and range of increases in peak aerobic capacity with hybrid–functional electrical stimulation (FES) rowing versus arms-only rowing in persons with spinal cord injury.Comparison of graded exercise tests for peak responses during FES rowing and arms-only rowing. Preliminary data on adaptations to FES row training were gathered in a subset of individuals.Outpatient cardiovascular...
To evaluate the relationship of family and parenting factors to long-term executive dysfunction and attention problems after early childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI). We hypothesized that the magnitude of executive dysfunction and attention problems would be moderated by family and parenting factors.A multicenter, prospective cohort study that included an orthopedic injury (OI) reference group...
To assess functional reach (FR) ability in 4 contexts in older adults (≥ 60 years) with high balance confidence (HBC) and low balance confidence (LBC).A repeated-measures design was used to compare 2 groups in 4 reaching contexts.Community setting.Twenty-four healthy older adults with HBC and 27 healthy older adults with LBC.FR distance was assessed in 4 contexts presented in random order: (1) traditional...
To standardize a protocol for promoting visual rehabilitative outcomes in post-stroke hemianopia by combining occipital cortical transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT).A comparative case study assessing feasibility and safety.A controlled laboratory setting.Two patients, both with right hemianopia after occipital stroke damage.Both patients underwent an...
To quantify median nerve characteristics before and after strenuous wheelchair propulsion and relate them to symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We hypothesized that persons with and without symptoms of CTS would have significantly different nerve characteristics at baseline and after propulsion.A repeated-measures design was used to obtain ultrasound images of the median nerve at 3 levels of...
To provide information regarding the (1) responsiveness and reliability of different outcome measures used with persons who have impairments in upper extremity function and (2) their content validity based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF).MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and EMBASE databases were systematically searched for studies on outcome measures used...
To determine whether pre-injury hip muscle weakness is associated with the development of patellofemoral pain (PFP) in high school running athletes.Prospective cohort study.Academic institution sports medicine center.High school running athletes.Baseline hip strength of high school running athletes was assessed at the beginning of the running season. Strength testing was repeated in athletes who developed...
Peak bone mass is attained during the second and third decades of life. Sports participation during the years that peak bone mass is being acquired may lead to adaptive changes that improve bone architecture through increased density and enhanced geometric properties. A review of the literature evaluating sports participation in young athletes, ages 10-30 years, revealed that sports that involve high-impact...
