Cellular mechanisms of muscle weakness and fatigability in individuals with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Garner, Dena J. P.
Abstract:: Muscle weakness and fatigue are debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Approximately 50% of muscle weakness and fatigue have been attributed to deficits within the peripheral nervous system, specifically mechanisms residing in the muscle. The goals of this study were to identify the cellular mechanisms of contraction within the muscle...

Effects of a resistance exercise program on activities of daily living of elderly women

Creator:: DeVries, Christine L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if a 5-month progressive-resistance exercise program would affect measures of activities of daily living (ADLs) and functional stability in elderly women. All subjects were ambulatory women, 80 to 93 years old, who lived in assisted-care facilities. Eight exercise and 7 control subjects...

Physical activity and coronary heart disease risk in women with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Slawta, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: The aim of the first manuscript was to examine CHD risk in women with MS by assessing the frequency of physical inactivity and the frequency of anthropometric, dietary, and metabolic CHD risk factors. Although participation in physical activity is often avoided by many women with MS, some women remain physically...

A comparison of bone mineral density between active and nonactive men with spinal cord injuries

Creator:: Eddins, William C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of bone mineral density (BMD) of the whole body (WB) and proximal femurs of physically active men with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to nonactive men with spinal cord injuries. Also, the lean muscle mass (LMM) of active men with SCI...

The effectiveness of a static and dynamic balance training program for children with cerebral palsy

Creator:: Senisi, Michael
Abstract:: Balance is the ability to establish an equilibrium between the body and its environment. Balance is a key component which is associated with a variety of movements and postural control. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulties with movement and postural control due to physical and neurological limitations. The purpose...

Construct validation of self-report with assistance to measure physical activity behavior in adults with intellectual disabilities

Creator:: Johnson, Marquell J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of construct validity for self-report with assistance from a secondary source as a measure of physical activity (PA) in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) in free-living environments. Thirty-seven participants (21 females, 16 males) with mild to moderate ID aged 19-74...

Exploring the physical activity levels of students with mental retardation and students without disabilities in both school and after-school environments

Creator:: Foley, John Thomas
Abstract:: The focus of this research was to gain an understanding of physical activity in elementary school-aged children with mental retardation (MR). The primary purpose of the first study was to investigate physical activity levels of children with and without MR in both school and out of school environments. The secondary...
