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...

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...

Where electrical stimulation is delivered affects how contractions are generated in the tibialis anterior muscle
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate how motor units in tibialis anterior (TA) were recruited when electrical stimulation was applied over the TA muscle belly versus the common peroneal nerve trunk. The data from the first study (Chapter 2) showed that contractions were...

Candida and the discursive terms of undefined illness: ghostly matters, leaky bodies and the dietary taming of uncertainty
DownloadFall 2010
This dissertation examines the discursive terms upon which people come to understand their experiences with a yeast-related disorder known speculatively within biomedical practice as “Candida”. Following the critical interrogations posed by feminist and poststructural theorizings, I aim not to...

King Me! Alberta Drag King Performance, 1997-2016: Examining Constituency Audiences and The Communicative Functions of Gender
DownloadFall 2018
When it comes to issues of sexual diversity specifically within Canada, Alberta’s history demonstrates a track record of extreme social conservativism and intense policy battles over sexual minority rights. Prior to 2015, the Alberta government consistently “resisted the inclusion of GLBT people...

Fall 2009
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a common therapeutic tool for persons with movement disorders. The manner in which NMES generates muscular contractions has traditionally been attributed to the depolarization of motor axons underneath the stimulating electrodes, a purely peripheral...
