(Taylor & Francis, 2016-12-15)Purpose: This study explored patients’ decision-making about whether or not to enroll in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), an underutilized program that is associated with significantly improved health outcomes. Method: ... -
New Generalized Equation for Predicting Maximal Oxygen Uptake (From the Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database)
(Elsevier, 2017-06-01)Impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is closely linked to chronic illness and associated with adverse events. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) regression equations (ACSM equations) developed to estimate ... -
A New Generalized Cycle Ergometry Equation for Predicting Maximal Oxygen Uptake: The Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database (FRIEND)
(SAGE Publications, 2018-04-25)Background: To develop a clinically applicable equation derived from direct assessment of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) to predict VO2 max assessed indirectly during cycle ergometry. Design: VO2 max was assessed by ... -
The Role of Diet for Prevention and Management of Hypertension
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2018-07-01)Purpose of review Regular consumption of a diet high in sodium, energy dense foods, fat content, refined carbohydrates, added sugar and low in fruits and vegetables contributes to an increased risk of developing hypertension ... -
Oxygen consumption and carbon-dioxide recovery kinetics in the prediction of coronary artery disease severity and outcome
(Elsevier, 2017-12)Background: Revascularization appears to be beneficial only in patients with high levels of ischemia. This study examined the utility of gas analysis during the recovery phase of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in ... -
Physical function and exercise training in older patients with heart failure
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP,, 2017-09)Heart failure (HF) is a common end point for numerous cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and hypertension. HF predominantly affects older individuals (aged >= 70 years), ... -
Nonpharmacologic management of hypertension: a multidisciplinary approach
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-07)Purpose of reviewNonpharmacologic lifestyle modification interventions (LMIs), such as increasing physical activity, dietary modification, weight-loss, reducing alcohol consumption and smoking cessation, are effective ... -
A practical clinical approach to utilize cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the evaluation and management of coronary artery disease: a primer for cardiologists.
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2018-03)Purpose of review: There is growing clinical interest for the use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to evaluate patients with or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). With mounting evidence, this concise review ... -
Prescribing a Healthy Lifestyle Polypill With High Therapeutic Efficacy in Many Shapes and Sizes
(SAGE Publications, 2015-11-30)The paradigm allowing for a lifestyle immersed in unhealthy behaviors to perpetuate to a point where a non-communicable disease (NCD) is eminent or manifests, and then initiating health care interventions, is deeply flawed, ... -
Comparison of the Mini-Balance Evaluations Systems Test with the Berg Balance Scale in relationship to walking speed and motor recovery post stroke
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-21)Background: The Mini-BESTest is a recently developed balance assessment tool that incorporates challenging dynamic balance tasks. Few studies have compared the psychometric properties of the Mini-BESTest to the commonly ... -
Impact of Cardiorespiratory Fitness on All-Cause and Disease-Specific Mortality: Advances Since 2009
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 1600 JOHN F KENNEDY BOULEVARD, STE 1800, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103-2899 USA, 2017-08)Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been one of the most widely examined physiological variables, particularly as it relates to functional capacity and human performance. Over the past three decades, CRF has emerged as a ... -
The Value of Detecting Asymptomatic Signs of Myocardial Ischemia in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease in Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2017-05)Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) monitored outpatient-cardiac rehabilitation (OP-CR) is routinely performed following a variety of cardiovascular procedures and conditions. Objective: To determine if diagnostic-quality ... -
Perturbation Training Can Reduce Community-Dwelling Older Adults’ Annual Fall Risk: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Oxford University Press, 2014-12)BACKGROUND: Previous studies indicated that a single session of repeated-slip exposure can reduce over 40% of laboratory-induced falls among older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine to what degree such ... -
Intensity and generalization of treadmill slip training: High or low, progressive increase or decrease?
(Elsevier Inc., 2016-01-25)The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of different treadmill slip training protocols on the transfer of reactive and proactive control of center of mass stability to a novel, over-ground slip. Four ... -
Test-retest reliability of the Test of Infant Motor Performance Screening Items in infants at risk for impaired functional motor performance.
(Elsevier, 2016-02)OBJECTIVE: To examine test-retest reliability of the TIMPSI in infants at risk for impaired functional motor performance. METHODS: The TIMPSI was administered twice to 51 infants from two different hospitals in ... -
US hospital-based direct access with radiology referral: an administrative case report.
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-11)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Legislative gains in the US allow physical therapists to function in expanded scopes of practice including direct access and referral to specialists. The combination of direct access with privileges ... -
Can sacral marker approximate center of mass during gait and slip-fall recovery among community-dwelling older adults?
(Elsevier Inc., 2014-12)Falls are prevalent in older adults. Dynamic stability of body center of mass (COM) is critical for maintaining balance. A simple yet accurate tool to evaluate COM kinematics is essential to examine the COM stability. The ... -
