11/14/15 To Whom It May Concern: I am proud to write this letter in support of Mr. Justin Berry, my favorite teacher of all time. I was accepted into the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program in 2010 at Northland Community and Technical College, East Grand Forks, MN. Here is where I met Justin, the founder and director of the PTA program. I am extremely fortunate to have had Justin as an instructor, and now as a mentor and friend. The expectations were high and the course-load was intense, but Justin made sure each of us would stay on track throughout our two year schooling. There was comfort in knowing that he would do anything to help us academically, especially if we were having difficulty with the fast-paced work. With his leadership, passion, and encouragement, his goal was to see us succeed to our highest potential. Justin is extremely knowledgeable with the coursework he teaches. This is due to his years of experience in the therapy field. He started as a Physical Therapist Assistant, moved on to earn a Physical Therapist degree, and is now currently the Director of the PTA program, with many other credentials to list. His program has many successful graduating classes, with many of us working in the field. I am one of them. I share my experience with others about PTA school and how remarkable Justin is. The most enjoyable quality of Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching has been his down to earth attitude and fun and sarcastic sense of humor. This allows him to connect with his students. I have seen him portray this with those around him. He is able to keep a positive and comforting learning environment. Justin has been an essential part to his past and present students. He is truly my favorite teacher of all time. Sincerely, Brenda Wiser

I am writing this letter on behalf of Justin Berry, PT, DPT, MS and 2014 recipient of “F.A. Davis Award for Outstanding Physical Therapist Assistant Educator” because it is my belief that he is well qualified to be the recipient of this year’s Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees educator of the year award. In my professional opinion, as a recent graduate from Northland Community and Technical College’s Physical Therapist Assistant program, Mr. Berry is the perfect model educator in a school of medicine. He is a highly dedicated professional who knows how to motivate each of his students to strive for excellence in what is already a very competitive field of practice. Besides the ability to make complex subjects understandable, he is a humble and approachable person who enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge with others. Mr. Berry has gone to extensive lengths to not only provide top quality education through countless hours of advanced practice research, but as part of the program gathers his students and those of University of North Dakota’s Physical Therapists program together so that there can be a stronger bond between PTs and PTAs in the field leading to highest quality patient care possible. As a Therapist who performed his clinical rotations all across Southern MN, Southeastern SD and currently provides care in the surrounding Grand Forks, ND region; I have never seen a stronger bond between PTs and PTAs than in our local community thanks to the dedicated work Mr. Berry brings to the program. Many know as a first year student, I struggled immensely to keep up with my fellow colleagues. I excelled in practicals, labs, assignments, and spent enough after hours in the lab for it to be my forwarding address; however, the test results never showed my dedication to the program because I also suffered from severe test anxiety. If not for Mr. Berry’s one-on-one education and constant motivation to overcome the challenges I faced; not only do I believe that I would have failed the program, but never would have been honored by my peers and instructors with a “Physical Therapist Assistant student of the year” award at the end of my graduating year. I will be forever grateful for all the extra time he took out of his day not only during school hours, but also before and after class as well to help me further my skills making tests more achievable. In closing and with best regards to Mr. Berry that I recommend he be selected as recipient of this year’s Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees educator of the year award.

To Whom It May Concern, Those who have ever sat through a Justin Berry lecture can most likely reiterate a lot of information, some extremely detailed and important while others are random, but relatable. If you do not already know Justin Berry, honestly, I am surprised you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the pleasure. Here is a glimpse of inside knowledge from a former Physical Therapist Assistant student, current friend and colleague. I have known Justin and his family for approximately eight years. He is not only a remarkable instructor at Northland Community and Technical College (NCTC), he is also a loving and caring husband, father of three and most importantly a mentor to myself and many countless others, not to mention those throughout the community. Justin is an instructor that came from a broken mold. He has a way of touching each and every person in a way that stays with you far past college graduation. Many years later, I still can recall statements made by Justin from class just because he presented the information in a fun, yet thorough manner. He was always available to answer any and all questions you may have, even if it is not class related. He not only is an impressive instructor, he is the director of the entire PTA program at NCTC. He consistently teaches a multitude of students, attends inservices and continuing education courses to better improve the program to keep his students ahead in the professional world of Physical Therapy. I can personally tell you how compassionate and dedicated he is to his students simply because of his willingness to encourage and motivate his students throughout college and life in general. When I graduated college, I was 6 months pregnant with my first child. I was extremely stressed out with finals, studying for PTA State board exam, delivery of my first born and of course, finding my first professional job. He was available throughout the entire journey, even when I failed my first board exam by one point. He called me the next day willing to talk and mentor me through the next step of how to study better and what specific books to study from to increase my score. The failure left me very sad, yet Justin never stopped encouraging. He took time out of his very busy life to uplift and lead me in a positive direction. I will forever owe Justin and his first rate PTA program for passing the next board exam and I am now a successful Physical Therapist Assistant. I highly recommend Justin Berry for this outstanding award, as he has worked tirelessly to educate, encourage and lead his students at the collegiate and professional level. It has been an honor to recommend my mentor, Justin Berry. Thanks for your consideration, Cari Desrosier, PTA

The first reason he deserves this award is because he is committed. In the time I was in the program, I learned that Justin was “all in” for each and every one of us students. I saw all the adjustments he made each year to the program to make the student success rate improve. Another thing that I really appreciated about Justin as a teacher was that he was so resourceful. He is always up on the latest research in the therapy world, but he doesn’t just read about the new research, he also is a part of making and writing some of the latest research. He loves research and statistics, and gets his students involved as subjects in some of his studies. By doing this, he inspired us as students to keep up with the latest news and research as well, making us better therapists. I always felt I could ask Justin almost anything and he either would know the answer or he would find the answer for me. At various times during the program we had to research certain diagnoses or different methods of treatment and present to the class. Although research isn’t my favorite thing to do, he made it more interesting for me because he showed so much passion about it and helped me to realize the importance of it. I am able to apply those skills today in my career to help me improve my patient care. Justin always encouraged us to get involved in various organizations and associations whether it be within the school, state, or national level, he wanted us to be involved and to stay involved so that we could be a voice for our practice. He led by example when it came to that by being a member of the APTA, and more organizations than I could ever keep track of. He was always a voice for us as PTAs. There are people within the therapy field that will belittle the PTA profession saying they aren’t necessary or that they’re not as important as physical therapists. As a physical therapist himself, he speaks at national conventions educating therapists on the PTA scope of practice and the role that we play in the therapy field. This shows how much he really cares and believes in us. Now that I am a PTA in the work field, I can appreciate everything he brought to the classroom. He taught me what I need to know to get the job done, but also he encouraged me to go above and beyond as a therapist by going above and beyond himself. I wrote this letter because I think he really does deserve to be recognized for all the work he has put in to not only the PTA program and I truly feel that I was blessed to have him as a teacher. Thank you, Hailey Klarenbeek

December 13, 2015 Dear MnSCU Educator of the Year Selection Committe, I would like to express my admiration and appreciation for Justin Berry, Physical Therapist Assistant Program Director for Northland Community and Technical College. Due to his tremendous commitment to my learning and the learning of my peers, I believe that he is the strongest candidate for this prestigous award. I have known Justin since October of 2012 When I visted NCTC to determine if they were the rigth fit for me to pursue my associate's degree in the PTA field. I was a 32 year old from Wisconsin and had not been on a college campus since I graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 2004, so I, of course, had reservations about moving 6 hours away from my friends and family to atten NCTC. My reservations were immediately quelled when I met Justin and he spoke about his passion for not only Physical Therapy, but also for teaching and mentoring students. Justin treated his classes, not as a time to lecture students, but rather, as a time for interaction and discussion. Justin had an impressive ability to connect with all of his students, no matter what their background or level of knowledge of the subject at hand. Justin was not focused on note memorization, instead he challenged us to build our own thinking skills that would make us the best PTA's possible. Justin is a frequent presenter at State and National Physical Therapy Conferences; is an active, published researcher; and also a respected continuing education instructor throughout the United States. Even with all of these accomplishments, Justin's main priority continues to be to inspire and educate the next generation of PTA professionals. Justin Berry represents the vision set forth by the MnSCU and has my unconditional support in receiving the MnSCU educator of the year award. He truly deserves it. Sincerely,

Jay Adelmann Big Stone Therapies PTA internal Travler NCTC class of 2015

12/20/2015 To whom it may concern, It gives me great pleasure to support the nomination of Justin Berry for this Outstanding Educator Award. I first met Justin in 2010 when I began pursuing a position in his highly sought after program. Justin readily responded to my inquiry emails and assisted me in securing a place in the 2013 class of Physical Therapist Assistants. My appreciation of Justin came early as I was an older than average student and felt a bit out of my element pursuing higher education. Justin assisted to make this a smooth transition for me. My greater appreciation for Justin came later when I began to realize just how busy of a man he is and yet he willingly took the extra time to assist me. I realized early on in the program that Justin was incredibly intelligent and articulate. He was able to take an absurd amount of information and put it into a two year program in a way that we could understand, assimilate and regurgitate with purpose. I was continually impressed with the ease of which Justin could lecture. It was as if the information was as second nature as breathing for him. I had no doubt that this was a man who had a thorough grasp on the subject at hand. I feel privileged to have learned my skills from him! I appreciated the many ways that Justin presented the information that we needed to learn. We were provided tangible learning aides prior to class and his lectures were always accompanied with visual or audio aides, models, personal clinical experiences, experiences of colleagues and most importantly warmth and humor! I had the utmost confidence in Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information because it was backed with the newest research and references were always provided. Although I was amazed to learn of all that Justin has accomplished in our field it did not come as a surprise to me. Justin set an exemplary example of ethics and professionalism for us and was liked by all. Justin maintained an approachableness and willingness to answer questions and clarify any confusion I may have had along the way. As I look back I realize that Justin had incredible patience with me which I greatly appreciate as I was a particularly intense student! I always felt Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment and genuine interest in our individual success. He has also continued to assist us after we graduated, looked for positions and as newly working therapists. I have now been working for two years since graduation and I still feel comfortable contacting him with questions and concerns. I will never forget what Justin has done for me through the Physical Therapist Assistant Program. I cannot imagine a better individual than Justin to receive this prestigious award. All of his hard work, dedication and success truly deserve to be recognized! Thank you for your time and the opportunity to give back to the instructor that has given me so very much!

Sincerely, Tamara McClintock, PTA

RESEARCH ARTICLE

 Burnout Among Physical Therapist Assistant Program Directors A Nationwide Survey and Analysis Justin W. Berry, PT, DPT, MS Charles C. Hosford, PT, PhD ment.2,3 It is estimated that decreased employee retention and productivity due to burnout annually cost U.S. businesses up to $200 billion.4 Over the past 30 years, efforts to research and decrease burnout have increased due to a desire to minimize its negative outcomes, which include cynicism, employee turnover, and job dissatisfaction.5 Directors of physical therapist assistant (PTA) education programs are required to manage multiple responsibilities and hold a unique position within physical therapy education. In addition to performing duties common to other faculty members, such as teaching, college service, and student advisement, they also have considerable responsibilities related to program administration, assessment, and accreditation. Some PTA program directors are also involved with direct patient care and/or scholarly activities, placing further demands on their time. The significant workload and number of responsibilities required of this position may increase the odds of developing occupational burnout. Burnout within this population may lead to decreased effectiveness of classroom instruction as well as problems with program outcomes and accreditation requirements. Although previous research has examined burnout within college faculty from many disciplines,6–8 no previous studies have explored burnout in PTA program directors. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of burnout in PTA program directors and analyze the relationship between individual and institutional factors and burnout.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess burnout in directors of physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs and to analyze the relationship between individual and institutional variables and burnout. METHODS: Surveys were completed by 120 directors from accredited PTA programs. The surveys consisted of demographic information and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Educators Survey (MBI-ES). The MBI-ES assesses burnout in the areas of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. RESULTS: PTA program directors showed moderate levels of emotional exhaustion, low levels of depersonalization, and high levels of personal accomplishment. Gender, the number of faculty in a department, and length of academic contract had no correlation with participant burnout levels. Significantly lower levels of emotional exhaustion were found in participants who were in their current position for more than 11 years and those who planned to remain in their current position or within higher education for at least 5 additional years. A significant negative correlation was found between participant age and depersonalization. DISCUSSION: PTA program directors and their institutions should develop strategies to minimize the effects of burnout in younger program directors and those in the early years of their position.

Our objective was to investigate the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries sustained by elite level curling athletes during international competition. This study was conducted during the 2008 World Men’s Curling Championships. All registered athletes and the tournament medical team were given report forms for documenting injuries that occurred during the tournament. Report form information included demographics, area injured, types of injuries sustained, and curling-specific aggravating conditions. During the competition five injuries were reported, resulting in an injury rate of .07 injuries per game. Only one reported injury resulted in missed competition (.014 injuries per game). All reported injuries involved increased pain during curling-specific activities. At the elite international competitive level, injury incidence in curling was found to be low.

Resisted Side Stepping: The Effect of Posture on Hip Abductor Muscle Activation

eakness of the hip abductors is present in individuals with a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including femoroacetabular impingement,8 iliotibial band syn drome,17,20 patellofemoral pain,9,33,40,43 and chronic ankle 22 sprains. While the majority of studies measure overall hip abductor strength, reduced strength is typically interpreted as gluteus medius weakness.20,21,44 This interpretation is scientifically supported in that TTSTUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study, repeated-measures design.

TTOBJECTIVES: To compare hip abductor muscle

activity and hip and knee joint kinematics in the moving limb to the stance limb during resisted side stepping, and to determine whether muscle activity was affected by the posture (upright standing versus squat) used to perform the exercise.

TTBACKGROUND: Hip abductor weakness has

been associated with a variety of lower extremity injuries. Resisted side stepping is often used as an exercise to increase strength and endurance of the hip abductors. Exercise prescription would benefit from knowing the relative muscle activity level generated in each limb and for different postures during the side-stepping exercise.

TTMETHODS: Twenty-four healthy adults partici-

pated in this study. Kinematics and surface electromyographic data from the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata were collected as participants performed side stepping with a resistive band around the ankle, while maintaining each of 2 postures: (1) upright standing and (2) squat.

TTRESULTS: Mean normalized electromyographic signal amplitude of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata was higher in the stance limb than in the moving limb (P≤.001). Gluteal muscle activity was higher, whereas tensor fascia lata muscle activity was lower, in the squat posture compared to the upright standing posture (P<.001). Hip abduction excursion was greater in the stance limb than in the moving limb (P<.001).

TTCONCLUSION: The 3 hip abductor muscles respond differently to the posture variations of the side-stepping exercise in healthy individuals. When prescribing resisted side-stepping exercises, therapists should consider the differences in hip abductor activation across limbs and variations in trunk posture. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2015;45(9):675-682. Epub 10 Jul 2015. doi:10.2519/jospt.2015.5888 TTKEY WORDS: electromyography, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, strengthening, tensor fascia lata

the gluteus medius has the largest volume and physiological cross-sectional area of the hip abductors.18,19 Furthermore, the nonoptimal lower extremity kinematics associated with hip abductor weakness, excessive hip adduction and internal rotation and knee abduction during the weight-acceptance portion of the stance phase,10,28 is consistent with a reduced activation of the posterior portion of the gluteus medius.20,21,34 Gluteus medius weakness is hypothesized to result in compensatory excessive use of the tensor fascia lata (TFL).5,41 Increased TFL recruitment may subsequently lead to further gluteus medius atrophy.20 Because the TFL also internally rotates the hip,34 it is theorized that excessive TFL activity may further exacerbate the abnormal lower extremity movement patterns related to gluteus medius weakness.5,41 Therapeutic exercises are commonly used by clinicians to increase gluteus medius strength and enhance functional muscle recruitment patterns. These exercises often include a variation of resisted hip abduction, which activates all of the hip abductors, including the TFL.34 For some patient populations, it is important for clinicians to be mindful of excessive use of the TFL during therapeutic exercis-

Physical therapist assistant (PTA) educational programs have been at the associate degree level since their inception over forty years ago. There are currently discussions within the profession regarding the possible transition of PTA education to a bachelor’s degree model. No previous study has surveyed PTA students regarding their reasons for being for or against this possible transition. The purpose of this study was to survey soon-to-be PTA program graduates regarding their perceptions on a possible PTA bachelor’s degree model.

Methods

Students were asked if PTA programs should be transitioned to a bachelor’s degree model, and their reasons why they believe this transition should or should not take place.

The main reasons stated for not making this transition were financial in nature, specifically concerns on increased student loan debt and that the transition would not lead to a higher PTA salary.

1Reeser

Injuries were few during this tournament of elite curlers. With 568 game exposures (71 games x 2 teams x 4 athletes), only 5 injuries were reported. These exposures resulted in .07 injuries per game and only .014 injuries per game with resultant missed competition. A previous study found few injuries in national tournament play1. Elite international competitive curling also demonstrates low injury occurrence. Injury incidence is as yet unknown among recreational curling.

Conclusion

40-49

Delivering, sweeping, sliding on ice Sweeping

Profile of players and injuries

Only 5 injuries were reported for the entire tournament. They were: 3 lumbar spine injuries, 1 hip adductor injury, and an injury reported as pubalgia. Three of the injuries were reported as re-injuries and 2 were classified as new injuries. All of the injuries involved increased pain during curling-specific activities: stone delivery (20%), sweeping (60%), sliding on ice (60%). Just one of the injuries resulted in missed competition.

Purpose. This study evaluated the incidence, distribution, and types of musculoskeletal injuries sustained by curlers during the 2008 World Men’s Curling Championship. Twelve teams, each consisting of four curlers and one alternate, competed in the World Championships, with 71 games played during the tournament. Curling, which has had Olympic medal status since 2002, is played by approximately 1.5 million people worldwide. Methods. Injuries sustained by curling athletes during the 2008 World Men’s Curling Championship were self-reported onto an injury report form. Information included age, area of injury, date of injury, whether a new injury or re-injury, curling activities that increased symptoms, handedness for stone delivery, team position, and missed participation time. Each team was issued individual data collection forms for athletes to complete as injuries occurred. These forms were then collected at the end of the tournament and the data analyzed. Results. Five injuries were reported during the championships. Three injuries were of the lumbar spine, one injury was of the hip, with the remaining injury at the pubopelvis. Three of the injuries were described as re-injuries and two were described as new injuries. All of the injuries involved increased pain during curling-specific activities such as stone delivery (20% of injuries), sweeping (60% of injuries), and sliding on ice (60% of injuries). Only one of the injuries resulted in missed competition. Conclusion. At the elite level, curling appears to be a relatively safe sport. Injury rates during this competition were low, with only one athlete missing competition due to injury. During the 568 game exposures (71 games X 8 athletes per game), there were only 5 injuries. There were .07 injuries per game during the tournament and only .014 injuries per game resulted in an athlete missing competition.

Purpose

Curling is a popular winter sport enjoyed internationally by people of all ages. Little has been written regarding injuries that tend to occur when participating in this sport. This study examined injury number and type that developed in elite curlers during the 2008 World Men’s Curling Championship held in April in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Methods

Curling competitors were given instruction and the opportunity to self-report injuries sustained during the tournament. Twelve teams participated with 5 members per team (4 curlers and 1 alternate). Teams competed in a total of 71 games during the tournament. When reporting an injury, data collected included age, team position, handedness for stone delivery, area of injury, date of injury, whether a new or re-injury, curling activities that increased symptoms, and missed participation time if any. Each team was given data collection forms to complete as injuries occurred. The completed forms were collected at the tournament’s end and the data was analyzed at that time.

Inter-Rater Reliability and Agreement of Visual Estimation of Hip and Knee Range of Motion by Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants

Demonstration

PTs and PTAs had similar levels of inter-rater reliability for the knee. Based on the lower inter-rater reliability measures for PTAs visually estimating hip ROM, it may be more appropriate for PTAs to measure hip ROM by means other than visual estimation, such as goniometry.

Clinical Importance

PTs had greater inter-rater reliability than PTAs for visually estimating hip ROM. PTs and PTAs had similar inter-rater reliability for visually estimating knee ROM.

Summary

Inter-rater reliability was estimated via the intraclass correlation (ICC) (Table 1). ICC coefficients of PTs for hip ROMs ranged from .90 to .91 and .66 to .83 for PTAs. ICC coefficients of PTs for knee ROM ranged from .96 to .97 and .91 to .95 for PTAs. Inter-rater agreement was estimated via the average deviation (ADM) (Table 2). Mean ADM of PTs for hip ROM ranged from 5.0 to 6.7 and 7.3 to 9.7 for PTAs. ADM of PTs for knee ROM ranged from 7.7 to 8.3 and 9.9 to 10.7 for PTAs.

Visual estimation of joint range of motion (ROM) is a common assessment technique utilized by physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs). No previous study has determined inter-rater reliability and inter-rater agreement of ROM visual estimation by both PTs and PTAs. Ensuring PTs and PTAs have a high degree of inter-rater reliability for estimating ROM is important for when more than one physical therapy provider is involved in a treating a patient. The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine inter-rater reliability and agreement of PTs and PTAs for visually estimating hip and knee ROM.

Methods One hundred fourteen subjects (63 PTs and 51 PTAs) completed an online survey consisting of visually estimating range of motion on a series of photographs of the knee and the hip in various degrees of flexion. Within the survey, three hip positions and three knee positions were each estimated three times by all subjects. Several other photographs of the hip and knee were included in the survey once as distractors in order to make it more difficult for subjects to realize that they were estimating the same hip and knee position three times. The distractor photographs were not included in the analysis.

A National Survey & Analysis of PTA Students on PTA Program Length and Accrued Student Loan Debt Physical therapist assistant (PTA) educational programs have been at the associate degree level since their inception over forty years ago. There are currently discussions within the profession regarding the possible transition of PTA education to a bachelor’s degree model. Average student loan debt for all college students has also risen significantly over the past decade. No previous study has surveyed PTA students regarding their perceptions on optimal program length or on the amount of student loan debt acquired solely to complete a PTA educational program.

A significantly higher percentage of students attending private colleges were concerned about their ability to repay their student loans (P < .05). Private college students also had a significantly higher estimated time for student loan repayment (P < .05). 65.6% of students stated that PTA educational programs should be transitioned to a bachelor’s degree model. 27.9% of surveyed students stated that they would not have attended a PTA program if it was offered at the bachelor’s degree level.

The purpose of this study was to survey soon-to-be PTA program graduates regarding their perceptions on PTA program length and on their amount of student loan debt.

Methods

Conclusions

Although a majority of surveyed students stated PTA programs should be transitioned to a bachelor’s degree model, a sizable population would not have attended a PTA program if it was at that level. Additional research is required to determine student motivation regarding this possible transition.

The amount of student loan debt for PTA students attending private institutions is significantly higher than students attending public institutions.

A link to an online survey was emailed to program directors of all accredited and developing PTA programs with directions to forward the link onto students who would be graduating over the next three months. 560 PTA students completed the survey. Students were asked: 1) The amount of student loan debt they will have acquired at the time of graduation 2) If PTA programs should be transitioned to a bachelor degree model 3) Their perceptions on the length of their specific PTA program
