Kinesiology Presentations

Front 1

"The Effect of Ankle Taping on Isokinetic Strength and Vertical Jumping Performance in Elite Taekwondo Athletes"

Back 1

Taping of ankle decreased ankle PF and DF strength

Results did show a decrease in vertical jump height with a taped ankle

Front 2

"Prevalence of Jumper's Knee Among Nonelite Athletes from Different Sports"

Back 2

Women are less likely to get JK because they have less power and more estrogen

Men are 2x more likely to get JK

Sports that require more speed and power had a higher prevalence

Front 3

"The Effect of Lace Up Ankle Brace Injury on High School Basketball Injuries"

Back 3

Prevent ankle injuries but increase knee injuries

The braced group had a higher number of lower extremity injuries, but it was not significant

Front 4

"The Acute Effects of Static Stretching on the Sprint Performance of Collegiate Men in the 60-m and 100-m dash"

Back 4

Found an inhibitory effect of static stretching over the second 20-m of a 100 m sprint

There is no additional inhibitory effect of static stretching at longer distances

Runners went slower when they did static stretching

Front 5

"Shoulder Muscular Activity During Isometric Three-Point Kneeling Exercise on Stable and Unstable Surfaces"

Back 5

Most muscles of the shoulder had a greater EMG activation with use of the swiss ball

CKC and unstable surfaces allowed for the same or higher levels of muscular activation and less loading forces to the healing tissues

During the tissue regeneration phase, use of unstable surfaces might be more productive in increasing muscular activity and strength

Front 6

"Prophylactic Bracing Decreases Ankle Injuries in Collegiate Female Volleyball Players"

Back 6

Ankle braces do protect against ankle injuries

To further decrease injury, some studies suggest that taping, training programs and orthotics may also help

Front 7

"Effect of Torso Rotational Strength on Angular Hip, Angular Shoulder, and Linear Bat Velocities of High School Basketball Athletees"

Back 7

Adding a medicine ball to off-season training program will increase angular hip, shoulder and linear bat velocities

Front 8

"Longitudinal Study of Elbow and Shoulder Pain in Young Baseball Players"

Back 8

Medial aspect of elbow was most effected

Athletes should learn to change up pitch

Children's body frame was less developed and did not have great form when pitching

Front 9

"Acute Effects of Whole Body Vibrations on Trunk Muscles in Young Healthy Athletes"

Back 9

Back muscle activation was very low with largest difference in side bridge

Highest activation was rectus abdominus in sit up position

Low to moderate increase in muscle activation with vibrations

Front 10

"Core Stability Measures Risk Factor for Lower Extremity Injury in Athletes"

Back 10

Females had a higher incidence of injury than did males

Athletes who were injured had lower mean abdominal performance

Strengthening of core is important for injury prevention of lower extremity

Front 11

"Prevention of Soccer-Related Injuries in Teenage Girls"

Back 11

Physical Activity decreases knee injuries in teenage girls

Intervention group had a decrease in soccer-related knee injuries

Front 12

"Leisure Time Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Risk by Hormone Receptor Status: Effective Life Periods and Exercise Intensity"

Back 12

Strenuous activity in teens and moderate activity after menopause reduced breast cancer risks (25-33% reduction in BC risk)

Moderate intensity of exercise after breast cancer was beneficial

Front 13

"Determining Current PT Management of Hip Fracture in Acute Care Hospital and Physical Therapists Rationale for this Management"

Back 13

Mobility was very important on Day 1 of post-operation: even just transferring a patient from a bed to a chair

Patients then moved to strength training, walking, ROM and breathing exercises

Mobility was primary decision for discharge from the hospital

Front 14

"The Effect of Prehabilitation Exercise on Strength and Functioning After Total Knee Arthroplasty"

Back 14

Pre-hab patients with TKA had higher numbers in strength and functioning

Pre-hab patients who had TKA benefited from engaging in quad strengthening and flexibility exercises
