A comparison of neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameters on increasing corticospinal excitability
DownloadFall 2013
In this thesis, experiments that investigated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) parameters on corticospinal (CS) excitability are described. The NMES-induced afferent volley can increase CS excitability, which can facilitate neurorehabilitation. However, literature...

Axon excitability testing shows increased IH activity in populations of slow versus fast motor axons of the rat
DownloadFall 2013
Despite extensive knowledge of variations in motoneuron (MN) soma and muscle properties across different healthy muscles or motor units, there is comparatively little knowledge about variations in motor axon electrophysiology across different axon groups. Axon excitability testing (AET) is an in...

Intentions of Canadian healthcare professionals to prescribe exercise to people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
DownloadFall 2015
Lack of effective treatment options exist for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A relatively inexpensive treatment option for people with ALS (PALS) is exercise. However, it is unclear whether healthcare professionals (HCP’s), working in ALS clinics across Canada, currently...

We develop an approach for optimizing Hidden Markov model representations of voltage-gated ion channels that addresses the issues of topology determination and poorly performing optimization algorithms. Developing accurate models of neurological processes is a major goal of computational...
