This year the American Physical Therapy Association will be holding its national Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego. It should be another great year to go and enjoy presenting and listening to the latest and greatest in research in physical therapy. We are especially excited this year as we will be having over 15 separate poster and platform presentations from Rockhurst Faculty, current and former students. Below is only a partial list of topics:
The Effect of Body Position on Maximum Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressures
and Forced Expiratory Flow.
Neurodynamic Testing of the Upper Extremity.
Comparison of Lower Trapezius and Serratus Anterior Muscle Activation during Shoulder flexion under Three Hand-held Load Conditions in Young and Old Adults.
The Effects of Carbohydrate Supplementation on Measures of Gross Motor Coordination and Cognitive Function during Prolonged Aerobic Exercise.
Bent Knee Fallout.
The Effects of Core Stabilization in a Competitive Cyclist with Low Back Pain
Promote Active Learning Using The International Classification of
Function, Disability, and Health Model.
Does Short-Term Use of Dance, Dance Revolution Increase Motivation and Motor Proficiency of At-Risk Children and Youth?
Audiovisual Training with Motor Practice May Promote Postural Stability: A Pilot Study
Representing the ICF Model as an Electronic Ontology for Use in Physical Therapist Education.
Exploring Standardized Vocabulary Use for Physical Therapy Exercises: Practice and Perceptions.
Innovations in Physical Therapy: The Wii and Beyond.
I did not get a complete list of topics due to some faculty already being gone or in route to San Diego. I hope you can see the wide variety of topics and interests. It is a lot of fun and satisfying to be part of helping to understand physical therapy and to share that knowledge with the world.
Well, I am off to catch my flight. Let's hope we have beautiful, warm, San Diego weather....
