SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Prevailing extractive logics allow some people to dehumanize and exploit whole classes and nations in order to take control of their lands and extract value from it, polluting and destroying in the process. These logics need to be remade in order to address climate change....

Spinal cord injury (SCI) not only leads to motor and sensory dysfunction, but just as debilitating are secondary consequences of SCI such as bowel disorders, neuroinflammation, immune suppression, pain and psychiatric disorders. In this thesis, I explore multiple aspects of recovery after SCI in...

Clinical Utility of Proposed Gait Stability Measures: Selection, Application and Evaluation of the Extrapolated Centre of Mass
DownloadSpring 2019
Gait stability is the ability to maintain a state of equilibrium during locomotion. In humans, this includes the need to maintain a stable walking pattern while regularly positioning the body in a state of imbalance. Thus, it is not surprising that gait is accompanied by an increased risk of...

Towards Clinical Testing of Intraspinal Microstimulation for Restoration of Walking after Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2019
The overall goal of this thesis was to advance intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) towards clinical testing for the purpose of restoring walking after spinal cord injury. ISMS implants focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury by activating the intact spinal motor networks below the...

Walking is a locomotor task that integrates information from all over the nervous system. The lumbosacral spinal cord houses neural networks that contribute to locomotion. These networks dominate locomotor activity during development and may provide suitable targets for restoring function after...

Physical training can affect the excitability of spinal reflexes in a training-specific manner in uninjured humans. Therefore, the first part of this thesis examined the changes in the excitability of a polysynaptic and a monosynaptic reflex in an ankle plantarflexor, after contrasting forms of...

Background: Structured clinical assessments (SCAs) are an essential part of health professional education as they capture important information on not only what a student knows, but what they can do. However, this useful information is rarely translated into quality feedback that students can use...

The paper explores the effect of embedding differential levels of elaborated feedback into digital learning objects. The effect of the embedded feedback is also considered in relation to computer experience and learner characteristics. Three digital learning objects were developed for this study...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an extremely debilitating condition, leading to sensory and motor dysfunction below the level of the injury. Presently, there are few effective treatments for SCI. This is in part due to the immense complexity of SCI pathophysiology. Thus, combined research approaches...
