Effects of Medially Wedged Foot Orthoses on Knee and Hip Joint Running Mechanics in Females With and Without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
(2013)
We examined the effects of medially wedged foot orthoses on knee and hip joint mechanics during running in females with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). We also tested if these effects depend on standing ...
A pathomechanical paradigm for treating the injured runner
(2013)
Pathological mechanics are thought
to play a role in many common
running injuries. A review of the
biomechanical literature reveals that
a given running injury may be associated
with multiple faulty running
mechanics. ...
Comparison of Stance Phase Knee Joint Angles and Moments Using Two Different Surface Marker Representations of the Proximal Shank in Walkers and Runners
(2013)
Efforts to compare different surface marker configurations in 3-dimensional motion analysis are warranted as more complex and custom marker sets become more common. At the knee, different markers can been used to represent ...
Evaluating the effectiveness of the interactive Metronome in improving life satisfaction and reducing loss of attention in marines with mild traumatic brain injuries associated with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms: a pilot study of protocols
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate if the series of protocols using the Interactive Metronome® and TRX® Suspension Training developed for mild traumatic brain injury associated with post-traumatic stress ...
“Take Off 4-Health”: Nutrition Education Curriculum for a Healthy Lifestyle Camp for Overweight Youth
(East Carolina University, 2010)
There is evidence that residential summer weight loss camps can be effective to initiate or support the small change approach to address childhood obesity. This report describes the development and evaluation of nutrition ...
Auditory event-related potentials recorded during passive listening and speech production
(East Carolina University, 2010)
What is the role of audition in the process of speech production and speech perception? Specifically, how are speech production and speech perception integrated to facilitate forward flowing speech and communication? ...
Cultural influence on listener responses to stuttering
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Stuttering is a developmental, involuntary, and intermittent fluency disorder. During moments of stuttering, people who stutter demonstrate sudden onsets and offsets of the aberrant struggling behaviors, with primary ...
Speech Production Analyses: Characterizing Typical Development versus Childhood Apraxia of Speech
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a controversial diagnosis that is frequently based on clinical perceptions, with treatment success based on the same perceptual measures. Because additional, less abstract diagnostic ...
Stability of conversational language samples from children in kindergarten: the effects of time, sample length, and topic
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of measures from conversational language samples in the school-aged population. Two 10-minute conversational language samples were collected from 20 at-risk kindergarten ...
The role of lexical and semantic access efficiency in predicting reading fluency in second and third grade children.
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The present study investigated the role of lexical and semantic access efficiency in predicting reading fluency levels in 32 second and third grade students (16 second grade/16 third grade). In a series of lexical and ...
