Measuring the effects of subclinical neck pain on sensorimotor integration using electroencephalography event related potentials and source localization
(2017-11-01)
Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is recurrent neck pain that has not yet been treated. This thesis investigated whether acute pain affects motor learning acquisition in SCNP vs. healthy individuals. 10 healthy and 10 SCNP ...

(2013-07-01)
Cancer is a major concern in today’s health care field, especially in Canadian adults. The diagnostic phase is a clinical process that involves mapping the patient journey, identifying and prioritizing the symptoms, and ...
The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)
The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ...
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 ...
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 ...

(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 ...
Conspiracy of silence: Cultural dissonance as a risk factor for the development of eating disorders in second generation South Asian women.
(2013-07-01)
This exploratory study examines whether traditional South Asian cultural practices, norms and values influence body image and body dissatisfaction in Canadian South Asian women, and whether these factors are involved in ...
The role of interprofessional collaboration on the discharge planning in the neonatal intensive unit
(2011-10-01)
Rationale: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) occurs when “multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds work together with patients, families, careers and communities to deliver the highest quality ...
