(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 ...
Investigating the effectiveness of posture coaching and feedback during patient handling activities in a student nursing population
(2017-04-01)
The daily routine of nurses and other caregivers is physically demanding and in turn, the profession is at a high risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries and/or disorders (MSDs). This thesis has two sections. The purpose ...
Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
(2015-06-01)
Neck muscles have a high density of muscle spindle afferents and their input is critical for formulating the perception of head position relative to the body. Chronic alterations in afferent input from the neck may be ...

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 ...
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 ...
