A Comparison of Frontal and Transverse Plane Kinematics in Level versus Downhill Running

Creator:: Thompson, Gretchen
Abstract:: Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome is a common overuse injury which affects many runners and can result in needing to take time off from running to alleviate symptoms or allow the injury to heal. Common biomechanical characteristics of those affected by IT band syndrome include increased hip adduction, knee varus, and...

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....

The Association Between Motor Skills and Challenging Behaviours in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Stinson, Jodi D.
Abstract:: Children with developmental disabilities (DDs) have been observed to have delays in motor skills compared to their age-matched peers without disabilities. Empirical research suggests that children with motor skill delays experience more internalizing and externalizing behaviours and that early motor skill difficulties may be an important indicator of future increases...

Assessing Between-day and Inter-rater Reliability of a 3-minute Running Test for Determining Critical Speed

Creator:: Arakawa, Lee
Abstract:: For athletes and training populations, the ability to track progress and determine appropriate workloads to stimulate adaptation is vital. Measures that represent a person’s aerobic fitness such as VO2 max and blood lactate concentration are often used for these purposes. While these measures can reveal a lot about a person’s...

Relationship between disability orientation and participation of children with disabilities in aquatic programs

Creator:: Schram, Bridgette M.
Abstract:: Increased physical activity (PA) in children has been linked to improved quality of life, as well as the establishment of life-long PA habits that lead to improved health outcomes. The literature suggests that children who participate in organized sport programs engage in more PA than children who do not. Notably,...

Parental Perceptions of Child's Experiences Participating in a Family Dog-Assisted Physical Activity Program for their Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Simpson, Amelia C.
Abstract:: Introduction: Parents provide an in-depth and unique perspective on their children with developmental disabilities (DDs) experiences and involvement in physical activity. Furthermore, family pets promote physical activity and quality of life in children with DDs. An imitation based physical activity program for children with DD and their family dog took...

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...

Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:: Leung, Chun (Willie)
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...

A 60 Second Exposure of Whole Body Vibration has no Effect on Muscular Strength or Vertical Jump Height.

Creator:: Welch, John D.
Abstract:: For more than 30 years, researchers have investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) platforms on athletic performance. WBV is a modality in which an individual stands on a vibrating platform to obtain performance effects. Frequency and amplitude of the vibration are the commonly adjusted parameters. The use of...

Transition from Early Childhood Special Education Programs to School Based Programs for Children Diagnosed with Developmental Delay in the State of Oregon : A Secondary Data Analysis

Creator:: Twardzik, Erica E.
Abstract:: Background: Current policy in Oregon under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) indicates that children diagnosed with developmental delay (DD) are eligible for services before school, but not eligible for the receipt of services in school-based programs. Due to this definition of eligibility, children with DD face additional barriers...
