Kenneth L. Knight, PhD, ATC, FACSM
Full profile
Identity and Disambiguation
PubMed indexes 315 papers under the initials "Knight KL", and the corpus contains at least three distinct people. This profile is established by co-author webs, not initials: our Kenneth L. Knight co-authored 11 papers with David O. Draper, 9 papers with Kevin C. Miller (BYU Human Performance Research Center cramp studies, e.g. PMIDs 17654560, 19997012), 3 with Mark D. Ricard, and 2 with Jeremy B. Feland, with the forename "Kenneth L" verified on record PMIDs 16404446 and 16558479. Not this author: Karen Knight (cancer-registry researcher, North Carolina) and Kenneth Knight, PhD (Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Loyola University Chicago).
Career (Verified)
- Co-author (with David O. Draper) of the textbook "Therapeutic Modalities", published in multiple editions from 2007 through 2012.
- The 2012 edition's cover carries the credential string "Kenneth L. Knight PhD ATC FACSM" (machine-verified via the Open Library edition record).
- Brigham Young University affiliation strings on his indexed papers include PMID 20064054 (ken_knight@byu.edu, Journal of Athletic Training) and the Knight-Miller Human Performance Research Center papers.
- Bibliometrics are intentionally omitted: no clean bibliometric profile exists for him. The OpenAlex profile that carries his name merges papers from a third Kenneth L. Knight (an entomologist, 28 mosquito-taxonomy papers 1940-1957), so no h-index or citation count for this researcher is publishable. His 315-paper initial-indexed PubMed corpus is also imprecise and is not cited as a personal count.
Role in Study 3
Co-author of Study 3. See Study 3: Shortwave Diathermy Enhances Ankle Dorsiflexion More Than Stretching Alone (Journal of Athletic Training, 2002).
Relationship statement: King Brand utilized the individual's work in the development of our products and treatments. The study and all the professional's work was independent of King Brand - they did not work for us, nor were they compensated by us - it is truly independent. King Brand has relied on the results of this study, this individual's work, and the work and studies of others in the development of our medical solutions.
