Accuracy of a piezoelectric pedometer in persons with and without Down syndrome
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-12)Background: Piezoelectric pedometers with a tri-axial accelerometer mechanism may effectively monitor physical activity in persons with Down syndrome (DS), but their accuracy has not been determined in this population. ... -
Accuracy of pedometer steps and time for youth with intellectual disabilities during dynamic movements
(Human Kinetics, 2009-10)Pedometer accuracy for steps and activity time during dynamic movement for youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) were examined. Twenty-four youth with ID (13 girls, 13.1 +/- 3.2 yrs; 11 boys, 14.7 +/- 2.7 yrs) were ... -
Altered autonomic response to upright tilt in Individuals with Down syndrome
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-05)Previous research has reported altered autonomic function in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) at rest and in response to certain stimuli (i.e. isometric handgrip, aerobic exercise, and even tilt table testing). Yet, ... -
Association between sleep quality and physical functioning in adults with Down syndrome: A brief report
(Elsevier, 2021-07-21)Background: Sleep quality is associated with physical functioning in adults, but this has not been examined in those with Down syndrome (DS). High body mass index (BMI) and accelerated aging, both common in adults with DS, ... -
Association of muscular strength with total and central adiposity in adolescents with intellectual disability
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2022-09-20)Background It has been established that for youth without disabilities, muscular strength (MS) is negatively associated with total and central adiposity. However, this relationship has not been clearly established for youth ... -
Balance and coordination capacities of male children and adolescents with intellectual disability
(Human Kinetics Publ Inc., 2017-01)Children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) exhibit a mixture of cognitive, motor, and psychosocial limitation. Identifying specific inadequacies in motor proficiency in youth with ID would improve therapeutic ... -
Balance and coordination proficiency of age-matched male and female children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities
(Human Kinetics Inc., 2018-04)Male youth (8-18 years) with intellectual disability (ID) demonstrate motor proficiency below age-related competence capacities for typically developing youth. Whether below-criteria motor proficiency also exists for females ... -
The cardiovascular capacities of adults with Down syndrome: a comparative study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1992-01)The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular capacities of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) to individuals without Down syndrome who are mentally retarded. Sixteen young adults with DS and 16 individuals ... -
Cardiovascular fitness as related to leg strength in adults with mental retardation
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1995-03)The purpose of this study was to compare cardiovascular fitness to leg strength of young adults (mean age = 25.2 yr) with mental retardation (MR) with and without Down syndrome (DS) and to determine whether a relationship ... -
Child Interest Activity Plan (CIAP): An Implementation Driver to Bridge the Research to Practice Gap in Early Childhood Intervention
(SAGE Publications Inc, 2022-05-14)[No abstract available] -
Children and adolescents with Down syndrome, physical fitness and physical activity
(Shanghai University of Sport, 2012-11-08)Children (5–12 years) and adolescents (13–19 years) with Down syndrome (DS) possess a set of health, anatomical, physiological, cognitive, and psycho-social attributes predisposing them to limitations on their physical ... -
Comparing motor competence of sex-and age-matched youth with intellectual disability from Brazil and the United States
(Human Kinetics Publishers Inc., 2020)Youth with intellectual disabilities (IDs) demonstrate below-criteria motor competence (MC) compared with typically developing (TD) youth. Whether differences in MC exist for youth with ID from different countries is ... -
Comparison of different trunk endurance testing methods in college-aged individuals
(Sports Physical Therapy Section, 2012-10)Objective: Determine the reliability of two different modified (MOD1 and MOD2) testing methods compared to a standard method (ST) for testing trunk flexion and extension endurance. Participants: Twenty‐eight healthy ... -
Concurrent validity of an electronic descriptive pain scale
(Sage Publications, 2003-03)The study objective was to assess the concurrent validity of the Electronic Descriptive Pain Scale (EDPS), a pain scale built into a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device. One hundred patients in an outpatient ... -
Current concepts in shoulder examination of the overhead athlete
(The Sports Physical Therapy Section, 2013-10)Examination of the shoulder complex has long been described as challenging. This is particularly true in the examination of the overhead athlete who has structural differences when compared to a shoulder patient who is a ... -
Diagnosis and management of adhesive capsulitis
(Springer Healthcare, 2008-12)Adhesive capsulitis is a musculoskeletal condition that has a disabling capability. This review discusses the diagnosis and both operative and nonoperative management of this shoulder condition that causes significant ... -
Difference in isokinetic torque acceleration energy of the rotator cuff: competitive male pitchers versus male nonathletes
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004-08)Rotator cuff function is critical to the overhead athlete. Rotator cuff power is felt to be important in the overhead athlete during the throwing motion. Little research exists regarding torque acceleration energy (TAE) ... -
