A prospective longitudinal study of multidomain resilience among youths with and without maltreatment histories.

The majority of children with maltreatment histories do not go on to develop depression in their adolescent and adult years. These individuals are often identified as being "resilient", but this characterization may conceal difficulties that individuals with maltreatment histories might face in their interpersonal relationships, substance use, physical health, and/or socioeconomic outcomes in their later lives. This study examined how adolescents with maltreatment histories who exhibit low levels of depression function in other domains during their adult years.

Comparison of changes in supraspinatus muscle thickness in persons with subacromial impingement syndrome and asymptomatic adults.

Purpose: To compare changes in supraspinatus muscle thickness in persons with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) and asymptomatic adults and to determine the reliability of the ultrasound imaging (USI) protocol.

Subjects: Twenty-two persons with SAIS and 22 age- and gender-matched asymptomatic controls.

Methods: Ultrasound images of supraspinatus muscle thickness at rest and at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of arm elevation were captured and measured.

Immediate and carryover changes of C5-6 joint mobilization on shoulder external rotator muscle strength.

Objective: Clinical evidence has shown that extremity dysfunction, such as muscle weakness or inhibition, is associated with spinal disorders. Spinal manual therapy is a common therapeutic approach used to address extremity muscle weakness. The purpose of the study was to assess changes in the maximal muscle strength of the shoulder external rotators immediately and at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after cervical joint mobilization at the C5-6 segment.

Interrater reliability of a movement impairment-based classification system for lumbar spine syndromes in patients with chronic low back pain.

Study Design: A prospective methodological study of interrater reliability.

Objectives: To examine the interrater reliability of a movement impairment-based classification system for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP).

Background: Movement impairment-based classification for the lumbar spine categorizes LBP based on the findings derived from a patient history and standardized examination.

Matching-to-sample assessment of stimulus overselectivity in students with intellectual disabilities.

A delayed matching-to-sample task with multiple sample stimuli was used to evaluate stimulus overselectivity in 70 individuals attending residential special-education schools. A Mental Age Equivalent score (MAE) was obtained for each student using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. Twenty-one participants failed to complete matching-to-sample pretests (mean MAE = 3.

Overselective stimulus control in residential school students with intellectual disabilities.

Overselective stimulus control was assessed in 29 students at residential schools for individuals with developmental disabilities. Overselectivity testing included three different delayed identity matching-to-sample tasks. Sample stimuli for the Form/Color Test were nine possible combinations of three colors and three forms.
