Spring 2024
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a devastating stroke caused by the rupture of vasculature in the brain, is responsible for <20% of all strokes, yet accounts for a disproportionately high burden of stroke related death and disability. The formation and degradation of the hematoma (blood clot)...

Setting the Tone for Virtual Spasticity Assessment: Planning Development and Testing of the Telerehabilitation-Objective-Neuromuscular- Evaluation (TONE) Device
DownloadSpring 2024
Background: Telehealth provides the ability to connect specialist healthcare providers with patients regardless of geographical location or other limitations restricting in-person care. Spasticity is a common complication affecting individuals with neurological conditions requiring specialist...

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....

Intracortical administration of pleiotrophin in ischemic stroke: investigating functional outcomes and glial expression
DownloadSpring 2023
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in Canada, exerting a serious burden on stroke survivors, their families, and healthcare resources. Characterized by brain damage due to loss of blood flow and oxygen supply, ischemic stroke is characterized by...

Spring 2022
Carotid atherosclerosis is responsible for 15-25% of the nearly 8 million first-ever ischemic strokes that occur each year worldwide. This proportion has remained constant over the past three decades, thus suggesting that some patients with carotid atherosclerosis currently receive suboptimal...

Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) is a rapidly acquired minimally invasive mean to assess brain perfusion dynamics, collaterals and infarct growth in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It helps differentiate expected stroke evolution and speed of core growth after arterial occlusion. The goals of...

Fall 2020
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), when a blood vessel ruptures within the brain, affects approximately 15% of stroke victims in Canada. There are no proven neuroprotective treatments ICH but two therapies, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and iron-chelators, have gained preclinical and clinical...

Pairing Reading Treatment with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Adults with Aphasia
DownloadSpring 2020
Background. Damage to language areas of the brain often leads to a language disorder called aphasia, which impairs speech, writing, and understanding. Sixty-eight per cent of people with aphasia (PWA) also present with alexia, a reading impairment. There is an urgent need for efficacious...

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...

Fall 2019
Background: Advancements in stroke imaging have allowed clinicians to more accurately select acute ischemic stroke patients for reperfusion therapies. This has moved patient selection from a time-based to an imaging-based paradigm. With few studies directly assessing the differences between...
