Peripheral and central contributions to evoked contractions during neuromuscular electrical stimulation
DownloadFall 2013
The present thesis examined two general questions regarding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES): 1) How can the delivery of NMES be optimised to enhance synaptic motor unit recruitment via reflex pathways (central pathways) and 2) Can motor unit recruitment through central pathways...

Spring 2010
Fatigue assessments have been carried out predominantly with quasi-deterministic approaches, such as the use of S–N curves. However, both the loading and the resistance of fatigue prone components are subjected to significant uncertainties. Consequently, a prediction of the remaining fatigue life...

Repair of Fatigue Cracks in Steel Members Using Adhesively Bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP)
DownloadSpring 2021
Bonding fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is emerging as an alternative to the fatigue crack repair techniques because of its several advantages over the conventional fatigue crack repair methods and materials. Its major advantages include its higher stiffness and strength, choice of...

Sleep deficit, fatigue, and health in family caregivers of persons with dementia awaiting placement
DownloadFall 2011
Sleep, fatigue, and health have been extensively explored in family caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD). However, no published studies have looked at these variables during the time of awaiting placement, an important period of family caregiving. In this study, 41 family caregivers of PWD...

The Development, Feasibility, Acceptability, and Efficacy of a 12-Week Online Mind-Body Intervention for People with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
DownloadFall 2022
Introduction: Persons with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) experience significantly higher rates of mental distress, impaired health related quality of life (HrQoL), and fatigue than the general population. While mind-body interventions have been shown to improve mental health and HrQoL, and...
