Abstract:
The focus of this program is to address gaps in knowledge concerning the efficacy of the PPE (Preparticipation Physical Evaluations) as a screening tool by establishing the predictive capabilities of functional tests as an important first step in primary injury prevention. The intended goals of this program are to 1) identify risk factors that could lead to injury and reduced physical activity participation, 2) objectively assess functional tests predictive capabilities and pros/cons in administering these tests, and 3) understand the need in creating parsimonious preparticipation physical evaluations for musculoskeletal capability to achieve and sustain optimal performance.
Objectives:
- Participants will be able to describe basic concepts of injury risk management along the areas of epidemiological considerations and logistics of coordinating small and large scale screening programs.
- Participants will be able to develop an objective theoretical model for movement assessment along the primary-secondary-tertiary pathway of movement analysis.
- Participants will be able to implement strategies to alter biomechanical movement patterns in physically active individuals.

James Onate, PhD, ATC, FNATA
Dr. Jimmy Onate joined The Ohio State University in January 2010. He earned his PhD in Human Movement Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2002 with a focus in biomechanics and motor learning. He has been an academic research faculty member interested in all aspects of human movement relative to injury prevention and performance optimization since 2003. He currently serves as the director of the PhD program in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, chair of graduate studies in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, a co-director of Ohio State's Sports Medicine's Movement Analysis & Performance (MAP) research program, a research scholar for the National Federation of High School Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, and a research consultant to Naval Special Warfare groups based in Virginia Beach, VA.His main research focus lies in developing functional motion assessment research that bridges the gap across research to clinical systems to allow for evidence-based outcomes for aiding individuals to sustain optimal health and performance throughout their careers and lives.
Research Focus
The specific aims of his research are focused to answer specific issues related to lower extremity injury, in particular anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, pre-participation examinations and human performance optimization. Funding for his work has been provided through the National Institutes of Health, Office of Naval Research, United States Special Operations Command and Naval Special Warfare Development Group for evaluating lower extremity injury in collegiate athletes and the development of physical performance models in military soldiers. The interaction of these two areas initially seems distinct, yet his approach to the questions lies along the fundamental concept of creating a parsimonious screening approach for evaluating injury risk and performance enhancement for physically active individuals, utilizing the movement assessment information to develop an instructional feedback approach to enhance performance and prevent injury and to integrate these two approaches into an implementable scientific model-driven approach to aid physically active individuals throughout their careers and lifetime to optimize health and performance. Dr. Onate acts as a key component in building the bridges between exercise and performance areas relative to all aspects of personalized health care in the hopes of developing proactive integrative approaches for wellness-based medicine aimed at optimizing lifelong health and performance.
