The overarching goal of the session is to promote evidence-based, personalized geriatric low back pain management to optimize quality-of-life, reduce pain and disability, and prevent downstream health risks.

Demonstrating how an objective process that focuses on the residents successes and challenges can lead to a more professionally meaningful and impactful mentee remediation (if required).

People with reduced low back muscle endurance showed reduced dynamic standing balance and higher risk of falls during dynamic standing activities.

1 month after ACLR using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, graft site gap width and proportion of healthy tendon cannot be inferred from clinical presentation. Comprehensive rehab should include measures of tendon structural healing as well as clinical outcomes

This talk will focus on the evidence-based role of the physical therapist and neuropsychologist in regards to prevention, identification, and treatment of concussions in the athletic population.

This study investigated how the risk for type 2 diabetes influences Achilles tendon health in individuals with and without Achilles tendinopathy (AT). Those at risk for type 2 diabetes and with an AT diagnosis had the most severe tendon pathology and worst function.

Our lab examines the effect pain has on motor learning and its retention. We found that pain experienced during motor learning negatively impacts retention 24 hours later, regardless of whether retention was assessed in the presence or absence of the same painful context.

Beyond age and level of amputation, pain intensity predicts walking endurance, and has the potential to be specifically targeted to enhance functional mobility.

After an 8 week-long intervention playing the Nintendo Switch, both within and between-group motor and cognitive improvements were observed in the Nintendo Exergaming group compared to pretest/control group performance based on standardized tests and game-specific scores.

We offer evidence supporting the use of Nintendo Switch as a challenging yet highly engaging and relatively low-cost tool to promote physical activity that is accessible to youth with ASD based trainers, parents, and youth participant’s reports after an 8-week exergaming study.

Individuals with Achilles tendinopathy with 2+ metabolic risk factors maintained lower physical activity than those with 1 or 0 risk factors. Education of low tendon load activities may be necessary to address modifiable metabolic risk factors while managing tendinopathy recovery

The MASH Trial is one of the first rehabilitation trials to use active surveillance and systematic adverse event reporting. 92% of unexpected, intervention-related adverse events were musculoskeletal and connective tissue related-suggesting focused surveillance here!
