The Effect of Zumbini® on Physical Activity of Young Children with and without Disabilities

Creator:: Chang, Chun-Wei
Abstract:: Physical activity is important for young children with and without disabilities. However, recent investigations have found that young children with and without disabilities spend less time in physical activity than is recommended. Family and music factors have been shown to positively affect physical activity of this population in previous studies....

Disparities in Physical Activity Experienced by Children with Disabilities: Secondary Analysis of the National Survey of Children’s Health 2016-2017

Creator:: Ross, Samantha Mae
Abstract:: Children with disabilities report some of the lowest physical activity (PA) levels among U.S. children. Estimating the magnitude of PA disparities has been previously challenged by underreporting and variability in subsampling of children with disabilities. The present research leverages the redesigned National Survey of Children’s Health to estimate population-level disparities...

The Role that Parents Play in the Development of Physical Activity Behaviors and Motor Skill Development in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Ku, Byungmo
Abstract:: Young children with developmental disabilities (< 12 years old) participate less in physical activity (PA) and experience motor skill deficits compared to young children without disabilities (Jung, Leung, Schram, & Yun, 2018; Liu, Hamilton, Davis, & ElGarhy, 2014; Whyatt & Craig, 2012). When taking account of a bi-directional relationship between...

Driving Towards Independence : Total Dosage and Daily Usage of a Progressive Modified Ride-On Car Intervention for Young Children with Down Syndrome

Creator:: Hospodar, Christina M.
Abstract:: Purpose: Children with Down syndrome (DS) may have limited opportunities to engage in independent mobility at the same age as their typically developing peers due to motor delays. The primary purpose of this study was to examine two activity-oriented outcomes - (1) onset of independent driving, and (2) onset of...

Predicting School Readiness Using Motor Skill Proficiency of At-Risk Preschoolers

Creator:: Tepfer, Amanda Taek Soon
Abstract:: Background: Early childhood is filled with incredible growth in all areas of development and offers a critical period for optimal learning (Lerner, 2002). During this critical period both motor skills (Bouffard, Watkinson, Thompson, Causgrove Dunn, & Romanow, 1996; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010; Stodden...

Examining physical activity and gross motor skills in children with developmental disabilities

Creator:: Cook, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship...

Development of a physical activity health promotion program for the group home setting

Creator:: Dixon-Ibarra, Alicia Mae
Abstract:: Background: A particular health inequity that has drawn national attention is obesity in persons with disabilities (CDC, 2011). Estimates suggest that as many as 80% of adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) are overweight or obese (Stanish & Draheim, 2005). Despite the benefits of being active (e.g. controlling...

Motor and social development : differences between children with and without autism?

Creator:: Irwin, J. Megan
Abstract:: Current prevalence statistics suggest 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (CDC, 2012). ASDs are pervasive developmental disorders characterized by social communicative deficits and restricted interests and behaviors (APA, 2000). Children with ASD also display deficits in motor skills (Green et al., 2002: Pan, Tsai, &...

Effect of whole-body vibration on painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Creator:: Guzman, Ruben J.
Abstract:: Introduction. Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes that interferes with daily living and causes severe pain. Pharmacotherapy is the accepted treatment strategy, however, this strategy is associated with high cost, minimal reductions in pain, and adverse side effects. Thus, a critical need exists to develop...

An Updated View of University-based Service-learning in Adapted Physical Activity: Instructor-reported use of Best Practices, Challenges and Supports

Creator:: Case, Layne K.
Abstract:: Adapted physical activity and education (APA/APE) service-learning has received considerable attention as a training tool to prepare undergraduate students, including preservice physical education teachers, to work with people with disabilities (Hodge, 1998; Rowe & Stutts, 1987; Taliaferro et al., 2015). Much of this research focuses on demonstrating the effects of...
