Spastic hypertonus is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by involuntary muscle over-activity. Hypertonus emerges in the days and months following upper motor neuron lesions such as spinal cord injury, stroke or multiple sclerosis and affects millions of individuals around the world. Hypertonus...

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...

Revealing Key Movement Strategies in Upper Limb Function Using a Novel Standardized Kinematic Assessment Tool
DownloadSpring 2020
Introduction: Artificial limbs, also known as prostheses, are used by individuals with upper limb loss to replace some of the functionality of the upper limb. Given the wide range of tasks and movements the upper limbs can accomplish, replacing full functionality can be challenging. While...

Simultaneous Measurement of Blood Flow and Oxygen Consumption Immediately Post-Exercise with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DownloadFall 2014
Invasively measuring blood flow and oxygen consumption during exercise has been used to help advance performance, stratify fitness levels and most importantly to aid in clinical diagnoses and track disease or recovery progression. There is currently no non-invasive method for measuring skeletal...

Sodium MRI of the Human Brain: Application to Ischemic Stroke and the Development of Multiple Quantum Filtering
DownloadFall 2013
MRI of sodium in the brain is much more challenging compared to hydrogen. However, imaging of brain tissue sodium has been suggested to provide temporal information in acute ischemic stroke that may benefit patients with unknown onset time such as those awake with symptoms. Furthermore, selective...

Age is the single-most significant variable in the loss of normal tissue homeostasis resulting in degenerative disease. Increasing with age is a slight, but significant rise in pro-inflammatory factors in the absence of detectable infection, also known as “sterile inflammation”. Although the...
