COMPARISON OF CLINICAL FATIGUE PROTOCOLS TO DECREASE SINGLE-LEG FORWARD HOP PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS.

Background: Return to activity decisions after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) are limited by functional performance tests often performed in a non-fatigued state. Fatigue can improve test sensitivity, but current methods to induce fatigue are typically bilateral tasks or focus on the quadriceps muscle in isolation.

Hypothesis/purpose: To determine the effects of a two-minute lateral step-down fatigue test compared to a 30-second side-hop test on single-leg forward hop distance in healthy individuals.

Emotional response of undergraduates to cadaver dissection.

The most effective way to learn human anatomy is through cadaver dissection. Historically, cadaver dissection has been the provenance of professional schools. Increasingly, cadaver-based courses in human anatomy are shifting to the undergraduate level, which creates both problems and opportunities because of differences between undergraduate and graduate student populations.
