12ABSTRACTSThe Effects of Blood Flow Restriction on Muscle Activation During Functional Exercise inIndividuals with Chronic Ankle InstabilityPresenter: Savannah MonetteMentors: Dr. Erin Garmyn and Dr. John GoetschiusRibbons: Caring for Humanity and the World and Thinking CriticallySession/Time/Location: 1A, 9:30 – 9:50, Jones 110Abstract: Background: Ankle sprains are the most common physically active musculoskeletalinjury. Many individuals who sprain their ankle go on to suffer from a condition known as chronicankle instability (CAI), which is associated with chronic lower-leg muscle dysfunction. Bloodflow restriction (BFR) is a technique that involves the application of a tourniquet to occlude distalblood flow and has been showed to improve muscle function during rehabilitation exercises.The Star Excursion Balance Test is a common functional exercise for ankle rehabilitation,and combining BFR with the SEBT may allow for enhanced muscle function during anklerehabilitation exercises for CAI patients. The use of BFR during ankle rehabilitation is not wellstudied; therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of BFR on lower-legmuscle activation of the tibialis anterior, fibularis longus, and lateral gastrocnemius during theSEBT in young adults with CAI.Methods: This was a cross over study in which lower-leg electromyography (EMG) muscleactivation was measured during the SEBT under two conditions, with BFR and without BFR(control). Individuals aged 18-35 with a history of CAI completed two laboratory visits, one witheach condition. For the BFR condition, the cuff was inflated to 60% limb occlusion pressureduring the SEBT. For Non-BFR condition, the cuff was not applied. EMG muscle activation wascompared between conditions, BFR and control, using a repeated measure ANOVA with post-hoctests.Results and Conclusions: Data collection is still ongoing. The final conclusions will be presentedat the ROE Conference.The Effects of Peppermint on Single Leg Balance and Handgrip on Healthy Young AdultsPresenter: Austeen FreemanMentors: Dr. Tony Coumoundouros, Mrs. Meg Sharp, Dr. Erin Garmyn, and Dr. Heather SchuylerRibbons: Crossing Boundaries and Disciplines and Thinking CriticallySession/Time/Location: 1A, 9:50 – 10:10, Jones 110Abstract: Context: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of peppermint oil onconcentration, focus strategies, single leg balance and hand grip. The effects of peppermint oil hasshown to improve exercise performance and cognition while no evidence exists surrounding theeffects on balance, cognitive focus strategies and concentration during balance.Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of peppermint essentialoil, peppermint altoids and control on single leg balance, hand grip, concentration and focusstrategies.Design: This is a within-subjects cross over design with counter balancing and a wash out periodin a laboratory setting. Three sessions were required of each participant, one for peppermintessential oil, one for the altoids comparison and one for the control.Participants: Study participants were selected through convenience sampling, were between theages of 18-35 and able to single leg balance for 30 seconds. Individuals with a known allergy orsensitivity to peppermint, have used peppermint in the last 14 hours, had a lower leg injury in thepast 6 months, or weighed less than 99 pounds were excluded from the study.Interventions: Peppermint essential oil was used as the intervention and altoids were thecomparison.Main Outcome Measures: All outcomes measures were taken immediately before and after theintervention, comparison and control.Results: In processConclusions: In Process

ABSTRACTS13Comparison of the Effectiveness of Cupping and IASTM on Hamstring ROM, PPT, andPFAQ ScoresPresenter: Jacob ClarkMentor: Dr. Heather SchuylerRibbons: Crossing Boundaries and Disciplines and Thinking CriticallySession/Time/Location: 1A, 10:10 – 10:30, Jones 110Abstract: Context: This Study examined the effectiveness IASTM and Cupping when treatingpatients with a history of hamstring Injury. The cupping technique used in this study, whichincorporates static cupping, dynamic cupping, and active/passive movements, has not beencompared to other forms of myofascial release.Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of IASTM and Cupping atimproving hamstring ROM, PPT, and PFAQ scores in patients with a history of hamstring injury.Design: This is a within-subjects controlled laboratory study with two independent variablesand three dependent variables. Two sessions were required of each participant, one for eachintervention.Participants: Participants were recruited on a volunteer basis, aged 18-35 with a history ofhamstring injury within the last 12 months.Interventions: Cupping: Each participant received 3 minutes of static cupping, preformed activeand passive motions with cups in place, and received 3 minutes of dynamic cupping for an8-minute total treatment time. IASTM: Each participant received a total of 8 minutes of treatmentwith Graston tools. First, they received two minutes of scraping with the G1 tool followed by 6minutes of scraping with the G4 tool.Main Outcome Measures: All outcomes measures were taken immediately before and aftereach intervention. ROM was taken using an active knee extension measured with a standardgoniometer. PPT was measured with a handheld dynamometer. Patients also filled out the PFAQbefore and after each interventionResults: TBDConclusions: TBDStudents for a Democratic Society’s Definition of SocietyPresenter: Molly KorthaseMentor: Dr. Deborah FieldRibbons: Thinking Critically and Caring for Humanity and the WorldSession/Time/Location: 1B, 9:50 – 10:10, Peelle 207Abstract: The 1960s are recalled as a time of societal, cultural, and political unrest. In the midstof this, the group Students for a Democratic Society, SDS, began at the University of Michigan.Civil rights issues and a call for the end of involvement in Vietnam ignited the movement, whichthen spread through campuses around the country. This presentation is focused on the rhetoricwithin SDS to examine the group’s definition of democracy. SDS was a prolific organization,leaving speeches, newsletters, and publications. These sources formed the basis for my research.Democracy, according to SDS, is not a passive belief, but rather a process and a set of aspirations.SDS tried to create democracy by becoming more educated, more involved, and pursuing equalityfor all. In modern day America dissent groups are often cast as anti-American. The research Ihave conducted has revealed SDS as a group that contradicts this rhetoric. Contrary to the notionof destroying an American ideal, SDS was attempting to reclaim and redefine the inherentlyAmerican value of democracy.Topic Area: Humanities

14ABSTRACTSDemocracy with Consideration for Political Culture: The Phenomenon of Pacific Island StatesPresenter: Clarence KennedyMentor: Dr. James HanleyRibbons: Thinking Critically, Caring for Humanity and the World, Developing Creativity,Crossing Boundaries and Disciplines, and Learning Throughout a LifetimeSession/Time/Location: 1B, 10:10 – 10:30, Peelle 207Abstract: The only states that have not become stable, democratic states are those that havehistorically had a very different culture than that of the west. To confront this issue we needto consider how best to appeal to all cultures with the benefits of freedom in democracy. Inresearching the Pacific Island States, a prominent, and newly democratic region of the World.This has brought up the importance of “Freedom from” rather than promotion for “Freedom to” indemocratization. By adhering to a principle of liberty for the people, grounded mostly in freedomof speech and press, the agents of culture change, intellectuals and mass media, will lead to thespread of subjective and individual freedom. This is contrary to common foreign policy that hassworn to be the savior and redeemer of the oppressed people of the world.Topic Area: Social ScienceScience, Technology & Congress: The Debate on Technology Assessment & Expertisein CongressPresenter: Cody SchaubMentor: Dr. James HanleyRibbons: Thinking Critically, Crossing Boundaries and Disciplines Edit, Learning throughout aLifetime, Caring for Humanity and the World, and Developing CreativitySession/Time/Location: 1C, 9:30 – 9:50, Peelle 212Abstract: Science and technology are two of the most important aspects of today’s society.Members of Congress have displayed a lack of understanding in today’s relevant issues in scienceand technology. The increase in need for expertise in the topic areas of science and technology hasgained relevance in today’s society. This paper delves into the role of the Office of TechnologyAssessment in its effort to increase the expertise in Congress while it was active; while examiningthe need for technology assessment in Congress today. The history of technology assessment inCongress is explored while focusing on the current debate to bring back a technology assessmentfunction. There are currently congressional studies in progress to determine if there is a needfor technology assessment. Those studies will determine how Congressional expertise will bestructured in the future.

ABSTRACTS15Cyberspace Symbiosis: The relationship between Technology and Public Policy in the21st CenturyPresenter: Liam TappMentor: Dr. James HanleyRibbons: Crossing Boundaries and Disciplines and Learning Throughout a LifetimeSession/Time/Location: 1C, 9:50 – 10:10, Peelle 212Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to discuss and expand on the topics discussed inthe course PSCI 451: Technology Policy in the 21st Century. The main argument being presentedis the co-dependent nature of Technology and Public Policy (Politics) in an increasingly digitalworld. With references to historical parternships such as radio pointing out the need for thegovernment to find new avenues to operate.A broad range of cases and innovations that helped strengthen and intertwine the reliance ofgovernment institutions on the ease of innovation, and the nature of technology to be bound towhat resources are avaliable. Topics include:Internet 2.0Individual Liberty vs. ProtectionCybersecurity/SurvelliencePublic Vs. Private SectorAmerican vs. European action and implementationDigital Political ActivismAll topics being discussed provide context and support for the previously given argument, andare meant as an introduction into the fairly broad and untapped source of debate that is therelationship between technology and government.Fall Phenology in Southeast Michigan ShrubsPresenter: Allison ThomasMentor: Dr. Jeffrey LakeRibbons: Thinking CriticallySession/Time/Location: 1D, 9:30 – 9:50, Peelle 301Abstract: Invasive species – that is, organisms not native to their current habitat – are becominga major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function across the globe. In southeast Michiganforests, several horticultural shrubs have become naturalized and now invasive. Understandingthe mechanisms by which they have succeeded in invading may provide clues as to how theymay be controlled. It has been observed that the species may leaf out earlier than native shrubs,and also hang onto their leaves longer into the fall. However this has not been quantified for eachspecies in Michigan; nor has it been considered over multiple years. This study focused on the fallphenology of native and invasive shrubs at Walden West, measuring number of leaves remainingon a weekly basis throughout the autumn. This work asked if the shrub’s light environmentaffected leaf fall on each individual. The work was carried out on six species – five invasive(Lonicera maackii, Rhamnus cathartica, Berberis thunbergii, Elaeagnus umbellata, and Rosamultiflora), and one native (Lindera benzoin). For each species, ten individuals were selected;on each plant, three branches of ten leaves each were followed weekly for 10 weeks, countingthe number of leaves remaining. Invasive species did, in fact, lose their leaves significantly laterthan native species, but they did not all behave identically; there were also interactions with lightenvironment found. This work best fits the Ribbon “Thinking Critical” because the researchrequired substantial problem solving and scientific process. pag
