A pilot study investigating arm and leg FES-assisted cycling as an intervention for improving ambulation after Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2013
People with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have the potential for recovering walking through plasticity-induced changes in the remaining neural circuitry. Current rehabilitation for walking attempts to induce such changes by providing relevant sensory inputs and motor commands through...

We present a platform for research into nanomaterial-enhanced gas sensing using magnetomotive MEMS resonators. A microfabrication process fl ow is developed and carried out to create metallized silicon MEMS resonators. In tandem, a test system based around a balanced electronic bridge is...

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,...

Automatically Detecting Affect in Computer-based Learning Environments: A Systematic Literature Review
DownloadSpring 2023
Affect detection is increasingly viewed as an essential component of computer-based learning systems because it aims to improve learner outcomes by adapting to the learner’s affect. However, most computer-based learning environments used across formal and informal educational contexts do not...

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...
