Reliability and Accuracy of a Newly Developed Intraoral Ultrasound Device to Evaluate the Facial Alveolar Bone Height
DownloadFall 2022
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of a newly developed intraoral ultrasound (US) device to evaluate the facial alveolar bone height. Methods: 38 cadaver teeth distributed across 3 human cadavers were prepared by having placed two or more notches...

Reliability and Effect of Arm Positions Used During Imaging on Spinal Alignment Parameters in Healthy and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Populations
DownloadSpring 2024
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a 3D spine disorder with lateral curvature, vertebral rotation, and sagittal changes. AIS affects 2-3% of the adolescent population. Adolescents with progressive idiopathic scoliosis receive numerous x-rays throughout their treatment, exposing them to...

Reliability of Three-dimensional Ultrasound Parameters and Their Correlation with the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2016
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity with unknown causes and with prevalence of 1.5 - 3% of adolescents. If AIS is left untreated, it may progress, leading to back pain, cardiopulmonary problems, and psychosocial concerns, and eventually resulting in...

Schroth Exercises for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis – Reliability, A Randomized Controlled Trial and Clinical Significance
DownloadSpring 2015
Background and objectives In America, care recommendations for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) include observation, bracing, and surgery. In Europe exercises are often prescribed. Schroth scoliosis-specific exercises have demonstrated promising results, but only in studies of...

Fall 2011
Guided waves have been successfully used to characterize long bone properties, however the layer of soft tissue covering bone must be considered for guided wave technology to be clinically viable. We analyzed the impact of soft tissue through in vitro experiments on a cortical bone plate with and...

The effects of a short-term plyometrics program on the running economy and Achilles tendon properties of female distance runners
DownloadFall 2009
This study examined the effects of plyometrics on running economy, performance, and Achilles tendon properties in female distance runners. Seventeen University athletes matched by running economy were randomly assigned to an experimental group that received supplementary plyometrics training...

The Reliability and In-exercise Reduction of Frontal and Rotational Ultrasound Measurements for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Performing Scoliosis-specific Exercises
DownloadFall 2018
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spine deformity of unknown cause characterized by abnormal lateral curvature (Cobb angle>10°) with vertebral rotation. AIS affects 2-3% of all adolescents whom are likely to progress during their growth spurt preceding skeletal maturity. The Scoliosis...

Top-Orthogonal-to-Bottom-Electrode Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers for Low-Cost 3D Ultrasound Imaging
DownloadFall 2013
Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) offer a promising solution for three-dimensional ultrasound imaging due to their ability to be easily fabricated in two-dimensional arrays. However, channel routing is still non-trivial and cost-intensive. The subject of this thesis is a...
