(University of Oregon, 2001)The purpose of this study was to investigate the gait patterns in persons with chronic ACL deficiency (ACLD: n = 10) who subsequently undergo surgical repair, and to determine how these individuals respond to an unexpected ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2007-12)Partial foot amputation is becoming more prevalent and costly and if not treated correctly can lead to higher levels of amputation. Despite this, partial foot orthotic research and development has been inadequate. ...

(University of Oregon, 2007-12)Meditation has been defined as a "group of practices that self-regulate the body and mind, thereby affecting mental events by engaging a specific attentional set" (Cahn & Polich, 2006). We conducted a randomized, longitudinal ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-06)This study was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of using electromyography (EMG) and joint moment to quantify muscular challenges in elderly adults. Twenty elderly and young adults walked on level ground and crossed ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-06)Currently the information on attention-balance control interactions following concussion is incomplete and not given particular consideration during clinical examinations of concussion. The purposes of this dissertation ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-06)In general, postexercise hypotension is characterized by a sustained increase in systemic vascular conductance that is not completely offset by ongoing increases in cardiac output. These hemodynamic changes are present ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-09)There were two primary goals of this work. The first goal was to investigate humeral and scapular kinematics in a simulated workplace environment. The second goal was to validate a triaxial accelerometer (Virtual Corset) ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-09)Among older adults, an impaired ability to maintain balance while simultaneously performing cognitive tasks is a common occurrence. Because poor dual-task balance performance is associated with increased fall risk and a ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-09)An acute bout of moderate-intensity dynamic exercise results in a sustained rise in skeletal muscle blood flow from that of pre-exercise levels. This postexercise skeletal muscle hyperemia is mediated by two histamine ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-12)During acute altitude exposure, humans maintain higher skin temperature and lower core body temperature. However, the role of cutaneous vascular regulation in these thermoregulatory differences is unclear. Therefore, the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-12)Traumatic brain injury has reached epidemic levels, and yet there are still large questions that need to be addressed regarding the underlying pathology and the related behavioral deficits. Adequately measuring the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-09)Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common disorder of the shoulder. Abnormal superior translation of the humeral head is believed to be one of the major causes of this pathology. The overall purpose of this study ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-12)Participation in athletics includes an inherent risk of becoming injured that is related to the nature of the games and activities of the players. Current literature reports that approximately seven million high school ...

-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)There has been a lot of research investigating the effects of heat stress and exercise on the physiological adaptations to heat acclimation. It is well documented that heat acclimation improves heat tolerance and performance ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)This study evaluated the effects of two marker placement methods and two data analysis methods on running gait analysis. Markers placed on the shoe heel counter were compared with markers placed directly on the calcaneous ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)Trunk control is critical for all functional movement, yet little is known about the development of trunk stability. Previous research considered the trunk to be one rigid segment ignoring the complexity of multiple spinal ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)The purpose of this dissertation was (1) to investigate the effects of dual task conditions on the development of postural control during gait in typically developing children while walking and obstacle crossing, and (2) ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-12)The short and long term pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been fully elucidated. Individuals recently suffering a mild TBI (mTBI) or having a history of TBI frequently suffer deficits in their ability ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-06)Approximately 1.5 million concussions occur annually in the United States, many affecting individuals between the ages of 15 and 18. Little is known about this age group's response to a concussion as they have been thought ...
