Balance capacity of age matched male and female adolescents with intellectual disabilities
Woodruff, Sarah; Nash, Jessica; Downing, Kyle; Meyer, Lindsey; Burden, Melissa (Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Sex specific norms for motor skills have been established to insure that normal differences in motor development between sexes are not interpreted as motor impairment. Although sex specific norms for gross motor skills of ... -
Changes in bilateral coordination in males and females 8-21 years with intellectual disabilities
Hughes, Brandon; Carey, Jake; Phu, Janet; Rowson, Melanie (Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)In typically developing youth (TDY) there is a clear developmental acquisition of bilateral coordination proficiency (BLC; i.e., synchronized arm and leg movements) from ages 4 to 21 yrs. That is, BLC capacities reach 88% ... -
Comparing balance capacity of sex and age matched Brazilian and North American youth with intellectual disabilities
Preston, Cale; Cameron, Kelsey; Corn, Shelby; Kraus, Demi; Lower, Andrew (Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)INTRODUCTION: For children and adolescents, adequate skill levels for balance (BAL) affects activities of daily living, participation in recreational activities and general physical activity levels. Youth (6-21 years) with ... -
Comparing upper limb and bilateral coordination of age and sex matched adolescents with intellectual disabilities
Kelly, Chandler; Barraza, Elvia; Ollenberger, Jordan; Faflick, Ryan; Vu, Senda (Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)The purpose of this study was to determine whether sex differences exist in upper limb coordination (ULC) and bilateral coordination (BLC) in adolescents with intellectual Disability (ID). A total of 149 male and 96 female ... -
Contextual characteristics of physical activity in children with intellectual disability through accelerometry and time diaries, weekday vs. weekend MVPA
Barry, Kenny; Hagenmaier, Matt; Miller, Brian; Smith, Victoria (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during childhood is vital for development. Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) are suggested to be less active, and no measure of intensity and time spent in MVPA has ... -
Evaluating coordination and balance capacities of youth with intellectual disabilities
Clark, Marissa; Copeland, Kindell; Rieck, Aimee; Rundell, Todd; Weide, Megan (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) was established as a reliable test in evaluating balance and coordination in children without disabilities but has demonstrated poor to moderate reliability in ... -
Examining the mechanisms of phantom limb pain
Clark, Benjamin; Austin, Anne; Denman, Rachelle; McCuistion, Kent; Smith, Stacey (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)Phantom limb pain (PLP) is pain (shooting, stabbing) emanating from the missing limb(s) and is the most prevalent amputee-related pain. Therefore, it is important for clinicians who treat amputees to understand the underlying ... -
Exercise capacity following heart transplant: case report on the physical work capacity of a 37 year old competitive cyclist following orthotopic heart transplant
Goodman, William F.; Pitetti, Kenneth H.; Patterson, Jeremy A.; Farhoud, Hussam (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Physical work capacity in heart transplant recipients typically does not exceed 60% of age-predicted normal levels. It is unknown what levels might be achieved in these patients if they were involved in strenuous ... -
Measuring joint hypermobility using the Beighton Scale in children with intellectual disability: a study of reliability
Cook, William; Hadley, Maria; Harrington, Courtney; Niederklein, Kendra (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)Hypermobility relates to excessive joint motion caused by laxity of surrounding tissue, thus allowing joints to move beyond the expected normal range. The 9-point Beighton Hypermobility Score (9-BHS) is the most widely ... -

Ouren, Sarah R.; Lane, Sally K.; Macy-Middleton, Anna L.; Schmidt, Cecelia M. (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Keeping healthy weight is a balance between diet and physical activity (PA), with PA important in energy balance and other health benefits. Due to insufficient health-enhancing PA, youth with developmental disabilities ... -
Measuring the reliability of motor coordination and balance testing in youth with intellectual disabilities
