Item Concurrent Validity of the Head Control Scale and Alberta Infant Motor Scales(2021) Thomas, Jodi; Romans, Audra; Schuster, EllenHead control development is an important aspect of overall motor control in infants. Deficits in head control can affect multiple areas of development including motor milestones, feeding, and use of power mobility. Research indicates pediatric physical therapists do not have a reliable and valid method to assess head control in isolation and are instead using standardized assessments with few head control items or non objective assessments such as labels of present or not present. The Head Control Scale (HCS) is an observational tool designed to assess head control in supine, prone, pull to sit, and sitting. The HCS has been shown to have great interrater reliability.Item Career Aspirations of Final Year Doctoral Physical Therapy Students and the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study(2021-12) Rousset, Kathleen; Deems, Lauren; Martin, Sarah; Webb, Josiah; Thompson, MaryBACKGROUNDItem Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cortical Excitability in Patients with Chronic Pain – A Scoping Review(2021-12-01) DeWees, Samantha; Mitchell, Laurah; Wang-Price, SharonBackground rTMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation which has been shown to produce analgesic effects in patients with chronic pain. It is unclear whether rTMS has an effect on cortical excitability in patients with chronic rTMS. Purpose To examine the current information available regarding the usage and the effects of rTMS on cortical excitability in those with chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
