(North Dakota State University, 2019)Kinesio® Tape could potentially be an intervention to improve excessive pronation of the foot. This research project investigated the effect Kinesio® Tape has on the navicular drop test and joint kinematics through 3D ... -
Evaluation of a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
(North Dakota State University, 2010)The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) on participants' fruit and vegetable behavior at school and at home. The evaluation addressed 2 questions: (1) Did the ... -
Evaluation of a Nutrition and Physical Activity-Based Curriculum on Children’s Lifestyle Choices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)This study assessed the effectiveness of the “On the Move to Better Health” program, specifically whether it promoted 4th to 6th grade North Dakota students, as well as their families, to make healthier lifestyle choices. ... -
Evaluation of Biomechanical Risk Factors in Division II Collegiate Female Athletes Using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) After an 8-Week Neuromuscular Training Program
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Neuromuscular training programs are a relatively new injury prevention strategy to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, primarily in female athletes. This study evaluated the effects of a neuromuscular ... -
Evaluation of the Relationship Between Scapular Dyskinesis and Acromiohumeral Distance
(North Dakota State University, 2022)This study analyzed the interaction between scapular dyskinesis (SDK) and acromiohumeral distance (AHD). Diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) was used to measure the AHD of 33 participants between 10 and 120o of weighted arm elevation ... -
Examining Therapeutic Ultrasound Manufacturer Brands, Models, and Common Treatment Parameters Amongst Clinically Practicing Athletic Trainers
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Context: Textbook parameters for thermal ultrasound are based on research using the Omnisound 3000 unit. No study has been performed to observe common brands of ultrasound (US) units available to athletic trainers (ATs), ... -
Exercise and Nutrition to Counter Age-Related Decrements in Muscle Health and Function
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Muscle atrophy and strength decrements can occur following disease (e.g., cachexia), with increasing age (e.g., sarcopenia), or from disuse related to injury or occupational environment (e.g., microgravity). High-load ... -
External Ankle Supports Alter Kinematics and Kinetics during Drop-Jump Landing and Forward-Jump Landing Tasks
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This research project was designed to understand the influence of excessively restricting ankle range of motion (ROM) on knee injuries, especially non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Participating in physical ... -
Fear of Reinjury: A Survey of NCAA Athletes Post ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The purpose of this study was to determine if a fear of reinjury and degree of current knee pain, as measured by the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) respectively, ... -
Flaxseed and Buckwheat Supplemented Diets Altered Enterobacteriaceae Prevalence in the Cecum and Feces of Mice
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Dietary intake may cause variable bacterial prevalence in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this research was to determine the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae in the cecum and feces following flaxseed and ... -
Gender Differences in Lower Extremity Kinematics throughout Various Stages of a 5K Run
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Running has been a popular sport because of convenience and health benefits. Fatigue among recreational runners may alter running mechanics, thereby increasing the risk for injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ... -
