  • The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

    Creator:
    Kitagawa, Taichi
    Abstract:
    The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

  • 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...

  • Preventing falls from unpredictable balance disturbances

    Creator:
    Welsh, Lisa R.
    Abstract:
    Falls, particularly those due to slips, constitute a major health risk for older adults. Past research has found that individuals can learn not to fall through repeated exposure to a slipping perturbation. Slips can be unpredictable, however. The goal of this study was to determine whether similar adaptations would occur...

  • Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

    Creator:
    Dinger, Melanie
    Abstract:
    Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...

  • Evaluation of Low-Impact Development (LID) Treatment Train at OSU-Benton County Green Infrastructure Facility

    Creator:
    Saduova, Alisha
    Abstract:
    Urban stormwater runoff with a high impervious area can significantly impact pollution concentrations of receiving water bodies. The use of low impact development (LID), which mimics the hydrological properties of the site before development, has been studied in an increasing number of studies, and the available database has shown to...

  • Slow fashion development : a model for sustainability

    Creator:
    Tobeck, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to develop a slow fashion design model using the house of quality model (HOQ) to provide designers an opportunity to improve the overall sustainability of an apparel product. Slow fashion is based on the slow food movement that supports the consumption of food that...

  • Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

    Creator:
    Stone, Clara A.
    Abstract:
    The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...

  • A comparison of two different balance programs

    Creator:
    Eisenhard, Jordyn
    Abstract:
    There is limited knowledge regarding differential training as it relates to balance. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and retention of a differential training balance program and a traditional balance program. Thirty-three Division I soccer athletes volunteered to participate and 29 completed the study. Participants were...

    Stewart, Lauren M.
    Abstract:
    Throughout history, there have been many examples of political figures who have influenced fashion: from Theodore Roosevelt to Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama. Companies have taken advantage of the influence that political figures have as fashion opinion leaders, even going so far as to purchase keywords such as "Michelle Obama"...
