Characterization of WT1-expressing interneurons and investigation of their role in locomotion
DownloadFall 2019
Mammalian locomotion is controlled by a specialized neural network, known as the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), which is situated entirely within the ventral spinal cord. A number of studies completed over the past two decades have indicated that this neural network is comprised of...

Connectivity and Regional Distribution of Constituent Cells of the Mammalian Locomotor Central Pattern Generator
DownloadFall 2016
The mammalian spinal cord contains a network of neurons capable of generating the rhythm and coordinating the complex motor pattern which underlies overground locomotion. This network, called the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), can operate in isolation from afferent input and...

Decongestive Progressive Resistance Exercise with Advanced Compression for Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema Management (DREAM): A Pilot Randomized Control Trial
DownloadFall 2018
Introduction: More than one in five women who survive breast cancer will eventually develop lymphedema. Recent studies in breast cancer lymphedema management have demonstrated that resistance exercise can improve the survivors’ quality of life without exacerbating their lymphedema. However,...

Fall 2018
The adoption of powered myoelectric prostheses and their ability to improve quality of life for persons with amputations is hindered by the difficulty of controlling multiple degrees of freedom with a limited number of input signals. Different myoelectric control strategies have been developed to...

Dinosaur speed demon: the caudal musculature of Carnotaurus sastrei and implications for the evolution of South American abelisaurids
Download2011
Currie, P. J., Persons IV, W. S.
In the South American abelisaurids Carnotaurus sastrei, Aucasaurus garridoi, and, to a lesser extent Skorpiovenator bustingorryi, the anterior caudal ribs project at a high dorsolateral inclination and have interlocking lateral tips. This unique morphology facilitated the expansion of the caudal...

EASE-BE-FIT: Elder-Friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment Bedside Reconditioning for Functional Improvements An Innovative Reconditioning Program for Elderly Emergency Abdominal Surgery Patients
DownloadSpring 2017
Introduction: Elderly individuals who are hospitalized due to emergency abdominal surgery spend on average over 80% of their recovery time in bed, resulting in early and rapid muscle loss. As these elderly individuals have a lower physiological reserve, the impact of muscle wasting on function...
