Cerebral hemodynamics and behavioral responses during simulated driving with and without hands-free telecommunication: a Near Infrared Spectroscopy study
DownloadSpring 2013
The aims of the present study were to comprehend the behavioral effects of hands-free telecommunication on the hemodynamic responses and examine their relationship with the driving errors during the intervention. To study cerebral hemodynamics (using Near Infrared Spectroscopy) during distracted...

Characteristics Associated with Increased Pain and Low Functional Recovery Three- Five Years Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
DownloadFall 2012
The incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Canada is steadily escalating; however, some recipients do not experience optimal outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify patient demographics associated with inferior pain and functional outcomes at 3-5years post-TKA. A secondary...

Clinical Screening and Identification of Sarcopenic Obesity in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Obesity [defined using body mass index (BMI)] is associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and increased surgical infection risk in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However sarcopenic obesity, a phenotype of low muscle mass with high fat mass, may have greater relevance and implications...

Comparison of Manual Wheelchair Propulsion in “Real-world” and Computer Simulated Environments
DownloadSpring 2013
Research to help prevent or alleviate the muscle fatigue and injuries prevalent among long-term manual wheelchair users is largely conducted in a laboratory environment. Through laboratory simulations it is possible to focus on a manageable set of variables among the many pertinent ones that...

COMPARISON OF THREE TYPES OF NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ON FATIGABILITY IN THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLES
DownloadSpring 2018
Claveria-Gonzalez, Francisca C
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can produce contractions of paralyzed muscles to improve function and reduce secondary complications for individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). NMES is typically delivered through a single pair of electrodes over a muscle belly at a stimulation...

Comparison of Tools to Measure Physical Activity and Stationary Behavior in Older Adults Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Although the detrimental effects of physical inactivity on health are well-documented, there is inadequate knowledge of physical activity in older adults following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Information is lacking regarding the effect of physical activity on risk for revision...
