Usage of Assistive Walking Devices in Populations with Neurological Disorders
No full textMany neurological disorders present with a loss of balance and unsteady gait patterns. Assistive walking devices such as canes, walkers, and other wearable technology is often prescribed for people with these symptoms in hope of returning them to a safe and normal mobility level. With many different devices available, it can become confusing as to which is the most helpful device for each person’s circumstance. This integrated literature review focuses on this idea and discusses the pros and cons of the wide variety of devices and their uses for several neurological disorders. Specific populations reviewed include: Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, and stroke patients. Assistive devices evaluated include: wheeled walkers, canes, poles, lasers, and assorted wearable technology. Published literature results of device effectiveness concluded that many were indeed helpful in improving balance and mobility, however it was noted that their use may decrease gait speed and become problematic in specific scenarios.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1013/thumbnail.jp

Changes in the Classroom due to COVID-19
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has had continuous effects on our everyday lives and is constantly changing things. One change is the way teachers present information and make the transition to online learning. Around the world, schools’ have had to close due to the fear of this unpredictable pandemic, which leaves teachers and administrators in a tough position. In addition to teachers being affected, student teachers are now struggling to complete fieldwork and practicum classes in person and are lacking the needed experience they are supposed to be getting. During this research process, I hope to explore different strategies that elementary teachers have had to implement due to changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1020/thumbnail.jp
COVID-19 and the Preschool Curriculum
No full textThe most rapid brain development happens within the first five years of children’s lives (Shonkoff, J.P., & Phillips, D. A. (2000). This time period sets the framework for how children will continue to develop and grow. Play is an integral part of a child’s learning because it targets all developmental domains, encourages independence, and promotes engagement (Hassinger-Das et al., 2017). Because of this, many preschools adopt a play-based curriculum. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the education challenges associated with it, many preschool children are lacking play-based experiences and are instead exposed to screens for large parts of their day. This drastic change will potentially affect children’s development now and later on in their lives. In this presentation, I will discuss exactly how the preschool curriculum has changed due to the shift towards virtual learning.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1021/thumbnail.jp
Altered Gametogenesis Gene Expression of the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in Response to Plastic Exposure
Get PDFMarine plastic pollution leaches chemicals that cause detrimental effects such as reduced fecundity and feminization of males in marine species. The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a valuable species to study the effects of plastic on sex differentiation because it is a protandric hermaphrodite that undergoes gametogenesis yearly. My objective was to investigate a potential cause of an observed female-skew in the sex ratio of first year oysters exposed to plastic by measuring differential gene expression of eight gametogenesis genes from oysters grown on plastic compared to those on shell. Plastic exposure increased the expression of genes involved in egg production for females and reduced the variation in expression for males. The results suggest plastic may be altering gene expression in a way that results in a female-skewed sex ratio as observed in plastic-exposed oysters.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/slides/1016/thumbnail.jp
