As a Maryland native, I am excited to be home and eager to continue Maryland’s tradition as an Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse and to quickly grow our presence on the national scene. This year’s team is looking forward to returning to the level of play that brought back-to-back-to- back ACC championships to College Park in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The schedule features seven matches against teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season. Our home invitational on September 5-6 brings nationally-recognized programs Missouri, St. John’s and Kentucky to Comcast Pavilion and our pre-conference tournament schedule includes a trip to New Orleans September 12-13. Our determination to become a perennial top-25 program is matched only by our expectation to maintain the strong academic tradition of Maryland’s past student-athletes. We placed three players on the 2007 ACC All-Academic Team and our goal is to repeat or exceed that number this season. The 2008 Terrapins roster blends experienced veterans and exciting newcomers. Our five-mem- ber senior class should prove invaluable to our four first-year players. The new crop of Terps features a group of dynamic athletes with great potential, all of whom have seen great success academically, as well. Maryland Volleyball is fortunate to play in Comcast Center – the nation’s premier on-campus ath- letic facility. Comcast Center Pavilion has undergone an exciting facelift for the 2008 season, with the addition of a new, volleyball-specific playing court. Our locker room has also doubled in size and now features custom wood lockers, a team lounge with flat-screen television and wireless Internet, custom carpet and designer Maryland graphics and logos. Admission to home matches is free, so come out and be a part of the Maryland Volleyball community. We appreciate your support in 2008. You can follow the team year-round on umterps.com, which contains updated statistics, player and coach biographies, schedules and results, photo gal- leries and archived information from past seasons. We also provide regular e-mail updates to our Friends of Maryland Volleyball support group. Video streaming will be available for many matches, while live statistics will be provided for all home matches and most road matches. See you at our next match, Tim Horsmon Head Coach University of Maryland 1 4 2 COACHING EXCELLENCE 1 :: Tim Horsmon, the 2007 AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year, has led his teams to eight NCAA Tournaments and eight con- ference championships in his nine seasons as a head coach. The Maryland-native and 1998 Washington Post Coach of the Year has returned to lead his hometown Terps to even greater heights. 3 ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE 2:: Maryland volleyball players are true STUDENT-athletes. Three Terps earned spots on the 2007 ACC All-Academic Team and sev- en players were selected to the 2007 ACC Honor Roll. Maryland volleyball recorded a terrific team GPA of 3.32 during in-season competition last fall. CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM 3 :: The Terps have won five ACC titles (1990, 1996, 2003, 2004 & 2005) and have made seven trips to the NCAA tournament. The ACC Tournament was discontinued in 2004 and the Terps closed out the event with the title, sweeping North Carolina. MEDIA EXPOSURE 4 :: Combining the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas, Maryland plays in the nation’s fourth-largest media market. In addition to na- tional newspapers like the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun, the Terps are also covered regularly by one of the country’s top student newspapers, The Diamondback. Maryland volleyball has also been featured in several national publications, including USA Today and on ESPN.com. AWARD WINNERS 5 :: Setter Eden Kroeger (left) was an All-American and the ACC 5 Player of the Year in 1997, while 2000 graduate Beth Murphy (right) was honored by the ACC with the presitigious Weaver-James- Corrigan Award. In total, Maryland has had six AVCA All-Americans and three ACC Players of the Year.

  • Preliminary Evaluation of Prototype Footwear and Insoles to Optimise Balance and Gait in Older People Hylton B
    Menz et al. BMC Geriatrics (2017) 17:212 DOI 10.1186/s12877-017-0613-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Preliminary evaluation of prototype footwear and insoles to optimise balance and gait in older people Hylton B. Menz1,2*, Maria Auhl1 and Shannon E. Munteanu1,2 Abstract Background: Footwear has the potential to influence balance in either a detrimental or beneficial manner, and is therefore an important consideration in relation to falls prevention. The objective of this study was to evaluate balance ability and gait patterns in older women while wearing prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve balance. Methods: Older women (n = 30) aged 65 – 83 years (mean 74.4, SD 5.6) performed a series of laboratory tests of balance ability (postural sway on a foam rubber mat, limits of stability and tandem walking, measured with the Neurocom® Balance Master) and gait patterns (walking speed, cadence, step length and step width at preferred speed, measured with the GAITRite® walkway) while wearing (i) flexible footwear (Dunlop Volley™), (ii) their own footwear, and (iii) prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve dynamic balance. Perceptions of the footwear were also documented using a structured questionnaire. Results: There was no difference in postural sway, limits of stability or gait patterns between the footwear conditions. However, when performing the tandem walking test, there was a significant reduction in step width and end sway when wearing the prototype footwear compared to both the flexible footwear and participants’ own footwear. Participants perceived their own footwear to be more attractive, comfortable, well-fitted and easier to put on and off compared to the prototype footwear.
