Spinal control differences between the sexes

Creator:: Johnson, Samuel T.
Abstract:: Despite years of research, females continue to have a higher incidence of non-contact ACL injuries. One of the major findings of this research is that males and females perform certain tasks, such as, cutting, landing, and single-leg squatting, differently. In particular, females tend to move the knee into a more...

The effects of whole body vibration on bone recovery following hindlimb unloading of adult female rats

Creator:: Herron, Jacquelyn Camille
Abstract:: Introduction: A bone deficit is found to persist five years following a hip fracture and 10 years post tibial fracture in adults. We examined the effect of whole body vibration (Vib) as a means for enhancing whole body composition and bone recovery following hindlimb unloading (HU) of adult female rats....

Crystallin proteolysis in lens during aging and cataract formation

Creator:: Ueda, Yoji
Abstract:: The major purpose of this research was to characterize partially degraded proteins appearing in the ocular lens during aging and cataract, and to identify the responsible proteolytic activities. This research is significant, because increased protein degradation is associated with lens opacification and cataract. Determining the sites where lens proteins become...

Effects of the aging-related loss in lower extremity strength on the feasible region for balance recovery

Creator:: Kadono, Norio
Abstract:: A backward fall is a major cause of hip fractures. Hip fractures have the potential to increase the mortality rate of older adults. Thus, the prevention of backward falls by older adults is a critical subject to be studied. Specifically, it remains unknown what effect aging-related losses in muscle strength...

The ability of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation to minimize toxic effects of high-alkaloid tall fescue straw in beef cattle

Creator:: Merrill, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation (YCW) on forage intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation characteristics, serum prolactin and prolactin stores, and milk production in beef cattle consuming high-alkaloid tall fescue straw. In Exp. 1, 16 Angus x Hereford ruminally cannulated steers (200...

Energetics and mechanics of swing phase during terrestrial locomotion

Creator:: Nelson, Frank E.
Abstract:: Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...

The aging endoplasmic reticulum

Creator:: Dixon, Brian M.
Abstract:: Hallmarks of aging include the accumulation of aberrant proteins and a lower resistance to stresses. Because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions to fold proteins and possesses unique stress sensing pathways, the central hypothesis of this dissertation is that the ER is a target of cellular aging and significantly underlies these...

Three-dimensional motion of the center of mass and energetic cost across a variety of walking speeds : a comparison between adults with and without Down syndrome

Creator:: Agiovlasitis, Stamatis
Abstract:: It has been previously suggested that the walking pattern of individuals with Down syndrome is inefficient. This is thought to result from increased instability, particularly in the medio-lateral direction, due to the characteristic joint laxity and muscle hypotonia of individuals with DS. Therefore, this work was an attempt to gain...

Reversing menstrual dysfunction (REMEDY) : the impact of menstrual status on musculoskeletal and hormonal health

Creator:: Kam, Lynn Cialdella
Abstract:: Menstrual dysfunction (MD), possibly due to lower energy availability (EA), is prevalent in active women and associated with unfavorable heath consequences. PURPOSE: To determine if EA improvements in endurance-trained women, using a daily Carbohydrate-Protein supplement (CHO-PRO), will restore menstrual function and improve musculoskeletal health. METHODS: Athletes with MD (ExMD; n=8;...

Acute and delayed effects of an exhaustive bout of exercise on landing biomechanics in women and men

Creator:: Kipp, Kristof
Abstract:: Although female athletes are at greater risk of non-contact knee injuries than men, the factors that contribute to these injuries are not well understood. One important question is whether intense exercise influences the risk of knee injury, both acutely and over the following days. The purpose of this study was...
