Temporal Patterns of the Trunk Muscles Remain Altered in a Low Back–Injured Population Despite Subjective Reports of Recovery
(Elsevier, 2014)Objective To compare temporal activation patterns from 24 abdominal and lumbar muscles between healthy subjects and those who reported recovery from recent low back injury (LBI). Design Cross-sectional comparative ... -
Age-related changes in trunk neuromuscular activation patterns during a controlled functional transfer task include amplitude and temporal synergies
(Elsevier, 2014)While healthy aging is associated with physiological changes that can impair control of trunk motion, few studies examine how spinal muscle responses change with increasing age. This study examined whether older (over 65 ... -
Changes in Knee Joint Muscle Activation Patterns during Walking Associated with Increased Structural Severity in Knee Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)Purpose To determine whether alterations in knee joint muscle activation patterns during gait were related to structural severity determined by Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) radiographic grades, for those with a moderate knee ... -
Reliability of surface electromyographic recordings during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)To determine test–retest reliability of a surface electromyographic protocol designed to measure knee joint muscle activation during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty-one individuals with moderate ... -
Hip abductor function in individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis: Implications for medial compartment loading during gait
(Elsevier, 2014)Background Hip abductor muscles generate moments of force that control lower extremity frontal plane motion. Strengthening these muscles has been a recent trend in therapeutic intervention studies for knee osteoarthritis. ... -
Neuromuscular alterations exist with knee osteoarthritis presence and severity despite walking velocity similarities
(Elsevier, 2011)Background Neuromuscular strategies during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis are being explored for diagnostic information; however, isolating differences to disease progression is difficult given walking ... -
Maximal voluntary isometric contraction exercises: A methodological investigation in moderate knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2011)Purpose: The objectives were, (i) to determine whether differences exist in relative activation amplitudes for participants with asymptomatic knees and participants with moderate medial compartment knee osteoarthritis ... -
Explaining the hip adduction moment variability during gait: Implications for hip abductor strengthening
(Elsevier, 2009)Background There is emerging interest in hip abductor function during gait and its potential relationship to knee joint pathology. During gait, the hip abductor muscles are primarily responsible for generating moments of ... -
Sit-to-stand transfer mechanics in healthy older adults: A comprehensive investigation of a portable lifting seat device.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Purpose: To evaluate lower extremity mechanics and muscle activation associated with the sit-to-stand transfer using a portable lifting-seat device and to compare these data to an unassisted transfer in healthy young and ... -
Reliability of Principal Components and Discrete Parameters of Knee Angle and Moment Gait Waveforms in Individuals with Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)Gait measures are used to evaluate change in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but reliability has not been fully established in this population. This study examined test-retest reliability of knee angle and moment ... -

Context and structure: Stories from a Canadian Aboriginal community
(McGraw-Hill, 1996)Synopsis: This text for the reading methods or children's literature course, was written with the hope of producing chameleon readers: Children who can truly understand children who do not share their own cultural heritage. ... -
Poder y Respeto: la toma de decisions sobre el bilinguismo en los hogares inuit
(CIESAS, 2010)No abstract available. -
Language socialization in Canadian Aboriginal Communities
(Springer, 2008)Covers numerous subjects in the field of language and education. Each volume deals with a single substantial subject and includes topical reviews, written by one or more experts in the topic, which provide complete coverage ... -
Multiple perspectives on research in childhood bilingualism
(Multilingual Matters, 2006)Contains reports of research on bilingualism in infants and children as well as perspectives from those involved in cross-linguistic research on language development, literacy development in bilingual children, and ...
