  • About good work

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...

  • Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

    Creator:
    McNamara, Adrienne J.
    Abstract:
    Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

  • Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

    Creator:
    Bauer, Jeremy J.
    Abstract:
    While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

  • Person-environment fit and adaptation : exploring the interaction between person and environment in older age

    Creator:
    Lien, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    The ability to independently age in place requires an appropriate match between a person and the environment, or P-E fit. The person-environment interaction helps describe the adaptation processes employed in older age to achieve P-E fit, but is little understood. Therefore, the objective of this two-part study was to gain...

  • Efficacy of lateral heel wedge orthotics for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis

    Creator:
    Wallace, David A.
    Abstract:
    Lateral heel wedge orthotics are designed to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint loading and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the efficacy of long-term lateral heel wedge orthotics use among OA patients has not been determined. This study evaluated the extent to which lateral heel wedge orthotics reduced...

  • Do running and fatigued running relate to tibial stress fractures?

    Creator:
    Sasimontonkul, Siriporn
    Abstract:
    Tibial stress fractures are common in runners. However, it is unclear what factors are associated with tibial stress fractures. This study aimed to investigate 1) magnitudes of bone contact forces occurring while running 2) whether or not repeated application of running loads is sufficient to explain tibial stress fractures and...
