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 ...
Augmented coronary vascular smooth muscle response to endothelin-1 exacerbates cardiac injury following pulmonary exposure to engineered nanomaterials
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and 60-carbon fullerenes (C60) are important engineered nanoparticles (ENP) used across industry. Exposure to ENP potentially promotes cardiovascular detriments. The hypotheses that ...
The induction of antigen-specific immunological tolerance and attenuation of inflammation via cytokine antigen fusion protein therapy in a mouse model of pulmonary inflammation
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Allergic asthma is a significant medical issue, affecting more than 300 million individuals and causing approximately 250,000 deaths each year. Current asthma therapies temporarily minimize discomfort and manage symptoms, ...
A Pilot Study: The Effect of Healing Touch on Anxiety, Stress, Pain, Pain Medication Usage, and Physiological Measures in Hospitalized Sickle Cell Disease Adults Experiencing a Vaso-occlusive Pain Episode.
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Sickle cell disease (SCD), a common genetic blood disorder affecting primarily African-Americans (Edwards, Scales, Loughlin, Bennett, Harris-Peterson, et al., 2005) causes a vaso-occlusive pain episode (VOPE) affecting ...
New nurse transitions: a qualitative study of perceived difficulties
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The transition from student to registered nurse has proven difficult for new graduate nurses. While organizations have implemented structures and processes to support new nurse transition into practice, new nurse turnover ...
