The Relationship Between Aerobic Capacity and Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity in Adult Tetralogy of Fallot
DownloadFall 2019
Background. Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) patients have an aerobic capacity of ~ 50% of age-matched controls. This diminished aerobic capacity may partially be attributed to pulmonary regurgitation that limits augmentation of cardiac output during exercise. ToF patients have also been reported to be...

Walking adaptation, training and assessment in young children and individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis includes four projects that examine motor learning and assess novel approaches for the training and evaluation of walking. In Project 1 we study motor adaptation in children aged 8-36 months using a split-belt treadmill. Split-belt walking, in which one leg moves faster than the...
