Effects of Medial and Lateral Motion of the Foot during a Forward Slip on the Loss and Recovery of Balance

Creator:: Blackwell, Allison M.
Abstract:: Falls, especially those caused by slips, are a major health concern. Past research has examined the mechanisms of preventing a fall from a forward slip; however, the effects of a mediolateral component to the slip have not been thoroughly analyzed. The purpose of this study was to examine how medial...

Conceiving A Colony: A Multi-Level Biocultural Analysis of the Maternal Stress-Preterm Birth Nexus in Puerto Rico

Creator:: Horan, Holly L.
Abstract:: This dissertation aims to elicit how a neo-colonial context shapes maternal and infant heath (MIH) outcomes by describing how they are socially, politically, historically, and culturally produced. Using a multi-level critical biocultural, medical anthropological research approach, the purpose of this research was to investigate maternal stress in the United States...

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...

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...

Evaluating the Usefulness of a Functional Test Battery for Determining Return to Full Activity in Females with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Creator:: Chang, Eun Wook
Abstract:: A functional test battery (FTB), which combines the use of subjective and objective functional measures, has been proposed as a potential means to distinguish anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) patients' that can more safely participate in activity from those at greater risk. However, no previous study has directly assessed whether...

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...

Effects of decision making on landing neuromechanics as a function of task and sex

Creator:: Mache, Melissa A
Abstract:: Although the incidence of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is greater among women than men athletes, the factors that contribute to this greater risk of injury are not well understood. One relevant question is whether decision making during landing influences the biomechanical and neuromuscular factors thought to contribute to...

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...
