An Alternative Prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Intermittent Electrical Stimulation
DownloadFall 2019
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that typically forms in the deep veins of the lower body and is the third most common cardiovascular disease, after myocardial infarction and stroke, in the world today. One of the causes of DVT, is the slow movement or stoppage of blood flow, known as...

Grasping at Illusions: Stimulating the skin to investigate the cutaneous contribution to kinesthesia in the human hand
DownloadFall 2024
How do you know your hand is moving without looking at it? This “movement sense”, known as kinesthesia, is thought to be primarily informed by receptors in muscles; specifically, the muscle spindles. As we move, muscle spindles discharge when muscles lengthen and, thus, most research has focussed...

Intermittent Electrical Stimulation as a Treatment Approach for Deep Tissue Pressure Injury after a Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadFall 2018
The goal of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of action of an intermittent electrical stimulation (IES) paradigm on the healing of deep-seated muscle injury. Electrical stimulation has been extensively studied for the treatment of open wounds, often with amplitudes lower...
