A Comparison of Kinesio® Taping Methods for Subjects with Patellar Tendonitis
(North Dakota State University, 2020)This project investigated the effects of Kinesio® Tape on pain, kinesiophobia, and proprioception in participants with patellar tendonitis. Thirty participants with patellar tendonitis were divided into three groups, the ... -
Comparison of Shortwave Diathermy and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Improving Hamstring Range of Motion
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Limited research exists on the comparison of pulsed shortwave diathermy (PSWD) and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). In addition, minimal research exists on the AcuForce® 7.0 and none of it examines the ... -
Comparison of Ulnohumeral Joint Space, Ulnar Collateral Ligament Width, and Abnormality in Collegiate Baseball Players Using Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The purpose of this thesis is to examine the difference in ulnar collateral ligaments (UCL) between pitchers and position players in collegiate baseball players. Differences were found using musculoskeletal ultrasound and ... -
Concurrent Validity of the Fitbit Flex Personal Activity Monitor and ActiGraph GT3X+ in Free-Living Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2016)This study investigated the concurrent validity of two accelerometer-based physical activity (PA) monitors, the wrist-worn Fitbit Flex, and ActiGraph’s hip-worn GT3X+. Specifically, we examined the relationship, differences, ... -
Concussion Awareness & Recognition: Youth Sport Parent's Perceptions
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Youth sport concussion has recently become a topic of concern for health care professionals. Young athletes are at greater risk of sustaining a concussion because children have a greater head-to-body ratio and their cervical ... -
Cramp Threshold Frequency in a Fatgiued Flexor Hallicus Longus Compared to a Rested Flexor Hallicus Longus
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Muscle fatigue is thought to cause a person’s exercise associated muscle cramps (EAMCs). However, there is little support that fatigue is the reason EAMCs occur. We examined if a fatigued muscle would make it more susceptible ... -
Dietary Behaviors Among College Students
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Research states that college students do not meet dietary recommendations, specifically in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Failure to meet dietary recommendations results in diets lacking essential nutrients. ... -
Differences in Ground Reaction Forces between Take-Offs that are Out, On, or Under in the Pole Vault
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Aim. The take-off is regarded as the most important phase of the pole vault yet there is an insufficient amount of research on the ground reaction forces of the pole vault takeoff. At this time there is not any scientific ... -
Does Gender Influence the Patient-Clinician Relationship?
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Athletic trainers commonly work with athletes of the opposite gender yet it is not fully understood if gender may influence these interactions. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent that gender influences ... -
Does Relative Energy in Sport Undermine Bone Health?
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a term expanded from the female athlete triad the is inclusive to males and females and the negative physiological symptoms impacting athlete health and performance from low ... -
The Effect of 2 MHz Ultrasound on Intramuscular Temperature at 1.5, 2.5, and 3 cm Depths
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The research objective was to determine the increase in intramuscular temperature of 2 MHz therapeutic ultrasound at 1.5, 2.5, and 3 cm depths after a 20 minute treatment at 1.0 W/cm2. A two-factor ANOVA experimental design ... -
The Effect of 5% Hypohydration on Muscle Cramp Threshold Frequency
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Many clinicians believe exercise associated muscle cramps (EAMC) occur because of dehydration and electrolyte losses. Experimental research supporting this theory is lacking. Mild hypohydration (3% body mass loss) does not ... -
Effect of Diabetic Retinopathy Education on Knowledge and Planned Lifestyle Activities
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Prevalence of diabetes is increasing in the United States as well as in North Dakota. Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, is seen in 40-45% of Americans diagnosed with diabetes. It is the leading cause of new ... -
The Effect of Exercise Intensity on Perceived Post-Exercise Appetite
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a greater reduction in appetite following a high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise session compared to a steady-state exercise (SSE) exercise session. Six ... -
