Does the quadriceps tendon graft for ACL repair produce similar quadriceps strength measures compared to hamstring tendon graft? A critically appraised topic
Arve, Erik; Van Boskerck, Kristi; O'Brien, Matthew (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Services, 2020-02-28)Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are one of the most common and most challenging injuries to manage in competitive sports. It is estimated that 100,000 to 250,000 ACL injuries happen per year. Of the ... -
Effect of hip range of motion on upper extremity pitching kinematics
Belcher, Brionna; Wicker, Kira; O'Brien, Matthew (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2023-02-17)Clinical Scenario: Baseball pitchers suffer from a variety of upper extremity injuries. It is hypothesized that deficits in hip range of motion can lead to compensations in the upper extremity, increasing injury risk. -
Effect of Myofascial Decompression on Shoulder Range of Motion and Strength of Healthy Overhead Athletes
Smith, Karl Scott (2015-05-01)Background: Muscular and anatomical adaptations occur with repetitive overhead movements and are commonly associated with pathologies that can lead to missed practice and competition time. The knowledge of interventions ... -
Effect of Testing Language on Impact Scores in Non-native English Speakers
Ziniel, Ashley K. (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)As the number of foreign-born student-athletes in NCAA sports continues to grow, finding accurate ways to evaluate concussions in spite of language and cultural differences is imperative to providing quality athletic ... -
Effectiveness of the Female Athlete Triad Components in Identifying Collegiate Athletes at Potential Risk of Long-Term Health Consequences
Bahner, Christina R. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)Research on the effects of excessive exercise on female athletes has increased to investigate three distinct, yet interrelated disorders: eating disorders, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis collectively termed the female athlete ... -
Effects of a Single Session Graston Technique on Hamstring Flexibility and Muscle Stiffness of Recreationally Active Individuals
Hoffmeier, Nathan J. (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)This study is an attempt to provide support for the clinical use of a single session Graston Technique intervention to improve flexibility and decrease musculotendinous stiffness (MTS). Thirty subjects were recruited to ... -
Effects of Caffeine on Strength and Power While on a Low Carbohydrate Diet
Goddard, Allen Jeffrey (Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)Abstract: Low carbohydrate diets, in athletes and the general population alike, can lead to hindered performance during physical activity as compared to those who eat 50-70% of daily caloric intake as carbohydrates. This ... -
Effects of Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Isokinetic Knee Extensor Strength and Fatigue
Romero, Daniel (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)Strength is one characteristic that most athletes focus on improving as it is a critical element for success. It is believed that some micro-tearing of the muscle tissue occurs daily in routine activities and during regular ... -
