Relationship between BMI and bilateral coordination/agility in youth (7-21 yrs) with intellectual disability
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)Previous studies of typically developing children have reported significant negative relationships between motor capacity (MC) and body mass index (BMI). That is, the greater the BMI (e.g., overweight, obesity), the lower ... -
Relationship between body mass index (BMI) and balance capacity in youth (8-21 yrs) with intellectual disability
(Wichita State University, 2023-04-14)Adequate skill levels of balance affect activities of daily living, participation in recreational activities, and general physical activity levels of children and adolescents. Most studies of typically developing children ... -
The relationship between physical fitness and standing postural deficits in middle school adolescence ages 12-14
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Posture is the foundation for fitness. The most common cause of injury in adults is musculoskeletal. Prevention of such injuries starts with correct posture. Due to the limited information available on the relationship ... -
The relationship of plantar flexor strength to functional balance in older adults
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The incidence of falls in older adults increases with a decline in lower extremity strength, functional balance, and multi-tasking while walking. This study examined the relationship between plantar flexor muscle strength ... -
Reliability of three methods for assessing active shoulder range of motion

Shoulder muscle EMG activity in women during push up on varying surfaces
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The unstable surfaces of a BOSU® ball and Swiss ball typically have a greater impact on EMG muscle activity during a push up compared to a normal push up done on a flat stable surface. This study's purpose was to determine ... -
Static and dynamic warm-up in upper extremity functional activities.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)Considerable research has explored stretching the lower extremity prior to activities; limited literature examined the upper extremity (UE). The purpose of this study is to determine whether a static or dynamic stretch ... -
Static vs. dynamic stretching on vertical jump and standing long jump

Strength and endurance of the rotator cuff: Normal subjects versus those with shoulder pain
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)This study aimed to develop a method for testing endurance of the shoulder external rotator (ER) muscles and to see if differences exist between shoulder strength and endurance between those with and without shoulder pain. ... -
Test-retest reliability of various measures for limits of stability using the balance master 6.1
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Objective— Determine test-retest reliability of dynamic measures of balance using Balance Master 6.1 (BM6.1) with adults.Setting— University Campus.Participants— 15 adults, ages 18-30 years without balance deficits. ... -
The acute effects of mechanical percussion on posterior shoulder flexibility and range of motion
(Wichita State University, 2023-04-14)Introduction: Impaired shoulder range of motion (ROM) and flexibility can impact normal muscle function, sports performance, pain levels, and decreased patient reported outcomes. Posterior shoulder tightness has been linked ... -
The effect of an exercise class and three abdominal exercises on diastasis rectus abdominis in postpartum women
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)INTRODUCTION: Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA), a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles from their attachment at the linea alba, commonly occurs during pregnancy and in up to 83% of postpartum women. This separation ... -
The effect of electronically delivered therapy with regard to chronic low back pain (cLBP)
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)INTRODUCTION: Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that affects a vast number of individuals worldwide, causing disability and reduced function. An often-preferred method of treatment for chronic low back ... -
The effect of endurance or strength training program on strength and endurance measures of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)INTRODUCTION: The most common diagnosis of shoulder pain is rotator cuff (RC) disease which affects nearly 30-50% of the population over the age of 50.3 The evaluation and rehabilitation of RC tears alone cost 3 billion ... -
The effect of two abdominal exercises on diastasis rectus abdominis in postpartum women
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)INTRODUCTION: Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA), a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles from their attachment at the linea alba, commonly occurs during pregnancy and in up to 83% postpartum women. This separation does ... -
The effectiveness of thoracic spine manipulation therapy on shoulder pain, range of motion, and muscle strength.
(Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)Thoracic spinal vertebra have recently been thought to be a potential cause of shoulder pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of thoracic spine manipulation on shoulder pain, range of motion (ROM), ... -
