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...

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...

Transparent transducers and fast electronics for next-generation ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging
DownloadSpring 2022
Most ultrasound transducers are opaque. Transparent transducers could lead to novel applications, including combined optical and ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging and other multi-modality systems. This thesis introduces transparent capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers and...
