Breathing Dynamics for Non-speech and Speech Tasks Following Intensive Voice and Speech Treatment in Children with Motor Speech Disorders Secondary to Cerebral Palsy
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequently occurring cause of movement disorders in children. It has a prevalence of 2-2.5 cases per 1000 live births and is a chronic condition, requiring lifelong rehabilitation. The ability to communicate is a primary factor in positive...

To overcome the limitations of lens aberrations in an electron microscope, Dr. Dennis Gabor invented electron holography, a technique that uses no lenses. The technique uses low energies (60-200eV), which makes it ideal for imaging fragile biological samples. To suspend samples, graphene has been...

Effects of an Intensive Voice Treatment on Articulatory Function and Speech Intelligibility in Children with Motor Speech Disorders
DownloadFall 2017
Producing speech that is clear, audible, and intelligible to others is a challenge for many children with cerebral palsy (CP) and children with Down syndrome (DS). Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of using the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) to increase vocal...

Examining the effectiveness of school-based initiatives to increase student moderate- to vigorous- intensity physical activity participation in a sample of Ontario and Alberta secondary schools in the COMPASS study
DownloadFall 2016
Background: Regular participation in moderate-to vigorous- intensity physical activity (MVPA) is associated with multiple health benefits. However, adolescence is a period of time characterised by low physical activity participation. As a result, very few Canadian adolescents are active enough to...
