ORAL ABSTRACT – Outcomes Of A 12-Month Weight-loss Intervention For Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

  • Author: Simon Driver, PhD

  • Time: 2:00 – 4:30 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: To (a) examine the efficacy of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance for TBI (GLB-TBI) weight-loss intervention compared to an attention control for primary (weight-loss) and secondary health outcomes; (b) determine participant compliance with the GLBTBI; and (c) determine if compliance is associated with improved outcomes.

ORAL ABSTRACT – Reliability Of A Wearable Metabolic System During High-Intensity Treadmill Testing

  • Author: Megan Reynolds

  • Time: 10:30 – 12:00 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: Wearable metabolic systems are lightweight, portable devices that allow for exercise testing using a dynamic mixing chamber or breath-by-breath analysis in a laboratory or field setting. Because even the smallest change in outcomes can have significant implications for clinical populations and athletes alike, establishing the reliability of wearable metabolic systems is critical. The purpose of the current study was to determine the test-retest reliability of a wearable metabolic system breath-by-breath analyzer during high-intensity treadmill testing.

ORAL ABSTRACT – The Association Among Primary Clinical Profiles and Prolonged Recovery After Sport-Related Concussion

  • Author: Erin Reynolds, PsyD

  • Time: 9:30 a.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: The clinical profiles (CP) model was developed to better conceptualize sport-related concussion (SRC). CPs are characterized by symptoms, impairment and risk factors previously reported to contribute to prolonged recovery. It is unknown, however, if CPs are also associated with prolonged recovery. The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of primary CPs and examine the association between primary CPs and recovery time in patients with SRC. We hypothesized Anxiety/Mood, Migraine and Vestibular primary CPs would be associated with prolonged recovery.

ORAL ABSTRACT – Outcomes of A 12-Month Weight Loss Intervention for Adults Post Stroke (GLB-CVA)

  • Author: Evan McShan, PhD(c)

  • Time: 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: The aims of this study were to take the evidence-based Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance program (DPP-GLB), modified for people post stroke (GLB-CVA), and examine feasibility and efficacy of the program (6-month randomized controlled trial [RCT] data and 12-month combined group data).

ORAL ABSTRACT – Engaging With Stakeholders to Identify Determinants of Screening for Sport-Related Concussion

  • Author: Morgan Anderson, PhD

  • Time: 9:30 – 12:00 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: Due to the complexity of sport-related concussion (SRC), it is essential to partner with stakeholders to identify determinants of SRC screening, diagnosis and treatment. Importantly, there is a lack of engagement with children and young adults with SRC-lived experience as partners in SRC research. The purpose of this study was to engage a diverse group of stakeholders, including children and young adults, to identify determinants of screening for SRC.

ORAL ABSTRACT – Feasibility of Implementing Exercise and Cognition Programming for Adults with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

  • Author: Taylor J. Gilliland

  • Time: 2:00 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: In addition to significant morbidity and mortality attributed to the coronavirus infectious disease 19, many afflicted individuals experience "Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection" (PASC), a multi-system constellation of adverse symptoms persisting weeks beyond the initial infection. The purpose of this study was to assess participant tolerability and feasibility of an 8-week, facility-based (FB) and home-based (HB) exercise and cognitive training program, including the use of a wrist-worn fitness tracker, in adults with PASC.

ORAL ABSTRACT – Intensity of Overground Robotic Exoskeleton Exercise Training Conditions in an Adult With Chronic, Motor-Complete Tetraplegia

  • Author: Chad Swank, PhD

  • Time: 3:00 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: Overground robotic exoskeletons (ORE) may be a unique modality to allow non-ambulatory individuals with tetraplegia to stand and perform walking exercise. However, the ability of ORE training to elicit moderate to vigorous levels of intensity (MVI) in non-ambulatory individuals with tetraplegia is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of intensity achieved during three different ORE training conditions in a non-ambulatory adult with chronic, motor-complete tetraplegia.

ORAL ABSTRACT – Overground Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Training Intensity in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury During Inpatient Rehabilitation

  • Author: Katelyn D. Brown

  • Time: 3:00 p.m. CST

  • Abstract/Study Purpose: High-intensity gait training during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) promotes functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) and may be achieved with overground robotic exoskeleton gait training (OEGT). Due to neuromuscular and autonomic impairments associated with SCI, assessing intensity through heart rate response and perceived exertion during gait training may be inaccurate. Wearable metabolic systems (WMS) have been used to directly measure intensity using oxygen consumption (VO2) with SCI. However, the use of WMS to assess OEGT intensity during OEGT in IPR is unexplored. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of WMS to measure physiological intensity of OEGT in patients with motor incomplete SCI during IPR.
