Cortical adaption influences excitability in the dominant and non-dominant hands following complex novel motor training
(2014-09-01)
The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to ...
The acute response to sprint interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise in adults with and without airway hyperresponsiveness
(2017-07-01)
Introduction: Sprint interval exercise (SIE) has been proposed as a time efficient way to improve physical activity levels; however, SIE has not been studied in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Methods: Eight ...
STDMn+p0: a multidimensional patient oriented data mining framework for critical care research
(2011-04-01)
In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment, critical care and treatment directly correlate to the multidimensional development of an infant and are influenced by attributes such as gender and gestational age ...
A qualitative study of parental perceptions, beliefs, and experiences when making decision regarding physical activity for children with asthma
(2017-07-01)
This thesis presents the findings of a qualitative, phenomenological study of the lived experiences of parents of children with asthma when making decisions regarding physical activity. The perceptions and beliefs of parents ...
Assessing neurophysiological and behavioural outcomes of the proximal upper limb muscles in response to novel motor skill acquisition
(2017-08-01)
A single session of motor training with the distal upper limb muscles leads to changes in brain and spinal cord processing. However, the neuroplastic response of the proximal upper limb muscles to novel motor training has ...
How do persons living with lower back pain experience disability in their daily lives? A qualitative study
(2017-11-01)
This paper describes how persons living with lower back pain (LBP) experience
disability using the International Classification of Function, Disability and Health (ICF)
framework. I conducted three focus groups. Participants ...
SDTDMn0 : a multidimensional distributed data mining framework supporting time series data analysis for critical care research
(2011-04-01)
Premature birth is one of the major perinatal health issues across the world. In 2007, the
estimated Canadian preterm birth rate was 8.1 % (CIHI, 2009). Recent research has shown that
conditions, such as nosocomial infections ...
Multisensory integration in subclinical neck pain
(2016-08-01)
Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is recurrent neck pain marked by painful “flare-ups” and minimal to no pain between flare-ups. It is associated with altered proprioception, slower mental rotation response times, and altered ...
An exploration of palliative care providers’ lived experiences of implementing the gold standards framework in oncology care from a hospital-based, outpatient palliative care setting
(2018-05-01)
Palliative care aims to address the needs of patients and family members who are dealing with a life-altering illness. The Gold Standards Framework (GSF), consisting of 7 key components (Communication, Coordination, Control ...
Relative age effects: exploring possible solutions and the relationships between relative age, sport participation, education, and indicators of positive youth development
(2018-07-01)
Relative age occurs when youth are placed into age groups in sport and education. Relative Age Effects (RAE) indicate that being born closer to the cutoff date holds an advantage in sport and academic outcomes. Study 1 ...
