Shane S. Schulthies, Assistant Professor; Director of Pre-Physical Therapy
Career
- The verbatim 1995 publisher byline: "Shane S. Schulthies is Assistant Professor of Physical Education and Director of Prephysical Therapy at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT" (PMID 16558348). No degree string was machine-verified and no title more recent than the 1995 byline is machine-verified; his profile stands on the verified career record.
- Identity anchor: the 21-record BYU athletic-training/physical-education class 1993-2006, including 11 records co-authored with David O. Draper and the study record itself (PubMed indexes him "Schulthies S" with the forename "Shane" on PMID 14964587).
- One additional 1990 record (PMID 2392485, "S S Schulthies", School of Physical Therapy, Texas Woman's University, co-authored with W. P. Hanten) is exercise-science/EMG topic-consistent and plausible for a later Pre-Physical Therapy director, but no machine-verifiable link to the BYU class exists; it is recorded as probable career context and is not counted in the identity basis.
Research Work
- Athletic-training and physical-education research class: ankle taping and spatting, knee laxity measurement, ultrasound and hot-pack thermotherapy, phonophoresis, stretching, and electromyography.
- Co-author of Study 11, a randomized trial in which shortwave diathermy combined with prolonged stretching increased hamstring flexibility (mean knee-extension increase 15.8 degrees) far more than prolonged stretching alone (5.2 degrees) or control (-0.3 degrees).
Role in Study 11
Co-author of Study 11. See Study 11: Shortwave Diathermy and Prolonged Stretching Increase Hamstring Flexibility More Than Prolonged Stretching Alone (Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2004).
