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...

Hyperthermia worsens outcome after ischemia. While it seems reasonable that hyperthermia would also worsen outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), clinical studies attempting to find a causative relationship between hyperthermia and outcome have been inconclusive. We induced ICH with an...

Augmenting Plasticity and Recovery from Stroke by Modulating the Extracellular Matrix of the Central Nervous System
DownloadFall 2017
Recovery following stroke occurs almost entirely in the first weeks post injury. Moreover, the efficacy of rehabilitative training is limited beyond this narrow time frame. Sprouting of spared corticospinal tract axons in the spinal cord makes a significant contribution to sensorimotor recovery,...

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...

Background: Over 80% of people who experience stroke survive, but for half, their level of activity drops significantly. Even survivors with mild disability become disengaged. Research Question: Based on an ecological model, what perceived facilitators and barriers do stroke survivors encounter...

Background: Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with high morbidity and patients commonly suffer motor dysfunction. ICH volume is a significant predictor of outcome, and perihematoma edema may also represent tissue injury. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) can be used to assess in-vivo...

Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada. Delayed hypothermia improves outcome in patients following cardiac arrest and reduces lesion volume in rodents after transient focal ischemia, but less is known about the effectiveness of delayed hypothermia following permanent focal ischemia. In...

Stroke, a reduction in blood flow to the brain, activates various proteins that contribute to neuronal death. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP2 and MMP9, are important in maintaining the blood brain barrier (BBB). After a stroke the BBB permeability increases which is...

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)...

External sensors for the feedback control of functional electrical stimulation assisted walking
DownloadFall 2010
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a rehabilitative technology that can be used to improve walking in individuals with mobility impairments due to neurologic injury or disease. Feedback is essential for efficient FES-assisted walking. The overall goal of my project was to investigate...
