Determining the validity and reliability of the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester as a measure of isometric strength in women with arthritis

Creator:: Sierra, Nelson
Abstract:: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity and reliability of the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester (NMMT), a portable dynamometer, as a measure of the isometric strength in women with arthritis. Female subjects (N=13; 66 ± 13.89 yrs.) with arthritis were tested for isometric muscle strength on the...

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...

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...

Participation of adults with mental retardation in a voluntary physical activity program

Creator:: Stanish, Heidi Isabel
Abstract:: This study compared the effect of two sources of instruction and verbal encouragement on the participation of individuals with mental retardation (MR) in a 10-week physical activity program. Participants were 17 adult employees of a sheltered workshop (5 females, 12 males) ranging in age from 30 to 65 years. The...

The effects of resistance exercise on lower extremity power in women with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Summers, Louisa
Abstract:: A common perspective promoted by health care professionals is that exercise may help reduce symptoms and improve activities of daily living among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet, the effects of resistance exercise on power, functional mobility, and fatigue are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine...
