CE 690 Syllabus: Internship
Get PDFTo enhance the counseling skills and conceptualization processes acquired through direct counseling experience, supervision and classroom interaction. The course is designed to prepare counselors for development as independent professional counselors. The evidence provided through the quality of the course requirements, demonstration of maturity, personal insight and professional presentation as appropriate to the counseling profession, will determine the course grade
CE 650 Syllabus: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Get PDFThe purpose of this course is to introduce students to the etiology and classification of mental disorders as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). Students will learn to utilize diagnostic information to facilitate the initiation and implementation of case management strategies, treatment plan development, and therapeutic intervention with people seeking/receiving mental health counseling services. Instructional methodology will include lectures, case studies presented in class, diagnosis and treatment planning activities using dyadic and small group activities, and other instructional modalities designed to facilitate the learning process

Determination of Aqueous Solubility of o-Aryliminobenzoic Acids and Associated UV-vis Spectroscopic Analyses
No full textChemical and electronic properties of o-aryliminobenzoic acids were investigated. Aqueous solubilities were determined by acid-base titrations. UV-visible spectra were collected in water and octanol to facilitate future studies. Both pKa and UV-vis spectra were correlated to substituent changes to attempt to ascertain effects, if any, of electron-withdrawing and -donating groups on acidity as well as absorption spectra. Modeling results were analyzed in the context of substituent (electron-withdrawing and electron-donating) effects
Evaluating the Local Event Experience in Winona
Get PDFThere are numerous local events and festivals in Winona. Event organizers in Winona need to understand the event/festival experience to enhance the event/festival experience and grow further. For destination marketers in Winona, this information is crucial to attracting more visitors from outside, as local events and festivals are effective destination attractions. Collaborating with Frozen River Film Festival, RTTR370 – Festival and special event planning class will conduct research investigating the local event/festival experience in Winona as a class project. A survey including a series of questions regarding event experience was developed to collect data and will be distributed in early April 2024. Adults who have attended events/festivals in Winona can participate in the survey. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be gathered and analyzed. The research will show the event/festival participants\u27 post-visit evaluation of their recent event/festival experience and their behavioral intentions regarding the event/festival. The result of this research is expected to contribute to Winona\u27s tourism, hospitality, and community development
Economic Inequality and its Effects on Voting and Attitudes Toward Government
Get PDFThis is a research project that studies how economic inequality affects voting and attitudes towards the government, using data from students enrolled in Winona State University. The survey used is a combined effort of students in POLS 410 and is distributed to WSU students through Qualtrics. This poster is a Capstone project as required by the Political Science Program
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Rehabilitation Techniques
No full textClinical Scenario: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is the most common cause of anterior knee pain and affects 25-40% of the active population. The etiology or cause of patellofemoral pain syndrome is unknown but has been tied to malalignment and muscular imbalances of the lower extremity, overactivity, or direct trauma. Most patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome can be treated with proper rehabilitation. This research study\u27s purpose was to determine whether a quadricep or hip-focused rehabilitation program would be more effective in decreasing pain and improving function.
Clinical Question: In adults with patellofemoral pain, what is the effect of hip strengthening compared to knee strengthening on pain, function, and strength?
Search Strategy: PubMed was used to find articles. Seven articles were selected through key words such as “patellofemoral”, “hip”, and “knee”. Inclusion criteria were individuals ages of 16-45, insidious onset of symptoms not related to trauma, pain with compression of the patella and anterior or retro patellar knee pain during two or more activities. Exclusion criteria were a current significant lower limb injury, knee surgery, or other MRI confirmed pathological conditions.
Evidence Quality: Pedro scores were of 8/10 to 9/10 and Level 2 on the Oxford Levels of Evidence scale.
Results and Summary of Search: Five of six studies showed significant improvements in pain reduction, function, and strength with both the hip and knee and knee only rehabilitation groups (p
Clinical Bottom Line: Both hip and knee or knee only rehabilitation programs for PFPS have been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve function and strength. Despite neither rehabilitation protocol being more effective than the other, there seems to be an upward trend in favor of the hip and quadricep protocol. The SORT score is B.
Implications: Based on the findings of this study, Athletic Trainers should prescribe additional hip exercises to PFPS rehabilitation programs as it may provide pain relief sooner and reduce lower extremity malalignment. Weak hip abductors and external rotators are common in PFPS patients. By targeting these weak muscles, a patient’s lower extremity alignment improves and reduces stress on their patella joint due to a decrease in compressive forces. Additionally, future research should focus on the long-term effectiveness of these programs
The Effects of IASTM and Foam Rolling on Hamstring Range of Motion
No full textClinical Scenario: To determine which form of self-myofascial release is more effective at improving hamstring range of motion. Hamstring range of motion (ROM) is important for posture and reducing joint pain or causing injury which is vital in athletics. There are different ways to increase ROM, this review compares how IASTM versus foam rolling can improve hamstring range of motion.
Focused Clinical Question: In college athletes, how does instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) compared to foam rolling affect hamstring range of motion (ROM)?
Search Strategy: Studies included in the critical appraisal were taken from PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCOHost, and Academic Search Premier using the terms: foam rolling, IASTM, Graston, ROM, flexibility, hamstring, athlete, and self-myofascial release. Inclusion criteria included sport related, hamstring ROM, and high school to college aged. While exclusion criteria were hamstring ROM not measured and not in the age category. From this search, seven studies were found with criteria to fit this critical appraisal.
Evidence Quality Assessment: Articles used had a PEDro score ranging from 5/10 to 9/10 and Oxford Levels of Evidence scores between 2-3.
Results and Summary of Search: IASTM and foam rolling have both demonstrated the ability to enhance hamstring ROM. Of the seven studies analyzed, two studies found an improvement in range of motion through IASTM (p = 0.014). One study reported an increase using a foam rolling intervention (p = 0.06) Four of the studies found that both IASTM and foam rolling were found to increase hamstring ROM (p = 0.001 – 0.05). Strengths of the study’s included consistency of ROM measurement throughout the study. Weakness found were that not many studies compared IASTM and foam rolling in athletes.
Clinical Bottom Line: Consequently, it can be concluded that both treatments offer viable alternatives for enhancing ROM, thus there was no difference between the two treatments. The strength of recommendation (SORT) is B.
Implications: Healthcare providers can apply both IASTM and foam rolling to improve hamstring ROM. Implications found through this study include that not many studies looked at IASTM and foam rolling with comparing range of motion, specifically in athletes. Future research needs to be done to better determine if one increases ROM more than the other. Future methodology should include looking at specific athletes including level of activity, sport type, and determining how these forms of intervention improve ROM between men and women
