“Hello"

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

Kinesiology Glossary
Contraction
Concentric: The contraction of a muscle resulting in its shortening.
Dynamic: The contractions of a muscle resulting in movement. Concentric and eccentric
contractions are considered dynamic movements.
Eccentric: The contraction of a muscle during its lengthening.
Isokinetic: The contraction of a muscle against concomitant force at a constant speed.
Diagnostic strength equipment implements isokinetic tension to more accurately measure
strength at varying joint angles.
Isometric: The contraction of a muscle without significant movement also referred to as
static tension. Also see Isometric Training.

Isotonic: The contraction of a muscle with movement against a natural resistance. Isotonic
actually means 'same tension', which is not the case with a muscle that changes in length
and natural biomechanics that produce a dynamic resistance curve. This misnomer has
prompted authors to propose alternative terms, such as dynamic tension or contraction.

Movement
Abduction: Lateral movement away from the midline of the body
Adduction: Medial movement toward the midline of the body
Circumduction: circular movement (combining flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction)
with no shaft rotation
Extension: Straightening the joint resulting in an increase of angle
Eversion: Moving sole of foot away from medial plane
Flexion: Bending the joint resulting in a decrease of angle
Hyperextension: extending the joint beyond anatomical position
Inversion: Moving sole of foot toward medial plane
Pronation: Internal rotation resulting in appendage facing downward
Protrusion: Moving anteriorly (e.g.: chin out)
Retrusion: Moving posteriorly (e.g.: chin in)
Rotation: Rotary movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone
Supination: External rotation resulting in appendage facing upward

Cavities of the Body

The body has two main cavities: the ventral and dorsal cavities (Figure 2-2).
Ventral cavity:
This cavity is more anteriorly located on the body and contains the following:

• The thoracic cavity (heart/lungs and area above the diaphragm)

• The abdominopelvic cavity (organs and structures below the diaphragm)

Dorsal cavity:
This cavity is more posterior on the body and contains the following:

• The cranial cavity (contains the brain)

• The spinal cavity (contains the spinal cord and vertebrae), also known as the vertebral canal.

News from the Department of Kinesiology at Penn Stat

Students receive Francis Hoffman Award for Excellence in Writing

The College of Health and Human Development announces its 2017 student recipients of the
Francis Hoffman Award for Excellence in Writing.

Penn State’s Exercise is Medicine on Campus program earns gold status

Penn State’s Exercise is Medicine on Campus program has received gold level status from the
American College of Sports Medicine. Penn State is among 60 colleges and universities that
will be recognized for their EIMOC programs. The awards will be given as part of the 2017
Exercise is Medicine World Congress, held in conjunction with the American College of
Sports Medicine’s annual meeting on May 31.

New study abroad opportunities ideal for health, human development majors
Penn State is offering students new study-abroad opportunities in Sweden and Denmark.
Students can now study with DIS, a reputable provider of study-abroad programs, at either its
Stockholm or Copenhagen location. DIS Copenhagen offers 24 academic programs and DIS
Stockholm offers seven. The programs might be particularly beneficial to students in the
College of Health and Human Development as it offers coursework directly related to such
majors.

Physical therapy proves as effective as surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome

Published Monday 6 March 2017

Adapted Media Release

Physical therapy is as effective as surgery in treating carpal tunnel syndrome, according to a new study
published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy® (JOSPT®).
Researchers in Spain and the United States report that one year following treatment, patients with
carpal tunnel syndrome who received physical therapy achieved results comparable to outcomes for
patients who had surgery for this condition. Further, physical therapy patients saw faster
improvements at the one-month mark than did patients treated surgically.
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the wrist and hand. Nearly half of all
work-related injuries are linked to this syndrome, which can result from repetitive movements.
Although surgery may be considered when the symptoms are severe, more than a third of patients do
not return to work within eight weeks after an operation for carpal tunnel syndrome.

The study demonstrates that physical therapy - and particularly a combination of manual therapy of
the neck and median nerve and stretching exercises - may be preferable to surgery, certainly as a
starting point for treatment.
"Conservative treatment may be an intervention option for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome as a
first line of management prior to or instead of surgery," says lead author César Fernández de las
Peñas, PT, PhD, DMSc, with the Department of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation,
and Physical Medicine at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Alcorcón, Spain.
Dr. de las Peñas and his fellow researchers studied the cases of 100 women with carpal tunnel
syndrome. By random allocation, 50 women were treated with physical therapy and 50 with surgery.
Patients assigned to the physical therapy group were treated with manual therapy techniques that
focused on the neck and median nerve for 30 minutes, once a week, with stretching exercises at home.
After one month, the patients in the physical therapy group had better hand function during daily
activities and better grip strength (also known as pinch strength between the thumb and index finger)
than the patients who had surgery. At three, six, and 12 months following treatment, patients in the
surgery group were no better than those in the physical therapy group. Both groups showed similar
improvements in function and grip strength. Pain also decreased similarly for patients in both groups.
The researchers conclude that physical therapy and surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome yield similar
benefits one year after treatment. No improvements in cervical range of motion were observed in
either patient group.
The researchers caution that because the study only included women from a single hospital,
additional research needs to be done to generalize their findings. Further, there are no available data
on the most effective dosage for the manual therapy protocol applied.
The study was funded by a research project grant (FIS PI14/ 00364) from the Health Institute Carlos III
(PN I+D+I 2014-2017; Spanish Government).

[Purpose] This study examined possible interrelationships between postural sway and posture parameters
in children and adolescents with a particular focus on posture weakness.

[Subjects and Methods] 308 healthy children and adolescents (124 girls, 184 boys, aged 12.3 ± 2.5 years)
participated in the study. Posture parameters (posture index, head protrusion, trunk inclination) were
determined based on posture photos in the sagittal plane. Postural sway was measured during 20 seconds
on a force plate. The Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficients between the anthropometric and
posture parameters and the sway path length (SPL) were calculated, as well as the coefficient of
determination R2.

[Results] There is a weak but significant correlation between age or body mass index of the test subjects
and the SPL. There is no statistically significant correlation between posture parameters and the SPL.
Children and adolescents with posture weakness do not exhibit a changed SPL.

[Conclusion] Therefore, therapy of poor posture must be considered separately from therapeutic measures
for the improvement of balance skills.
