Activation amplitude and temporal synchrony among back extensor and abdominal muscles during a controlled transfer task: comparison of men and women
(Elsevier, 2012-08)Muscle synergies are important for spinal stability, but few studies examine temporal responses of spinal muscles to dynamic perturbations. This study examined activation amplitudes and temporal synergies among compartments ... -
Activation amplitude patterns do not change for back muscles but are altered for abdominal muscles between dominant and non-dominant hands during one-handed lifts
(SpringerLink, 2009-05)It is assumed when lifting with the dominant hand that the relationship between contralateral and ipsilateral trunk muscle responses are similar to when lifting with the non-dominant hand. The purpose of this study was to ... -
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 ... -
Antimicrobial Activities of Jadomycin B and Structurally Related Analogues
(2009-03)Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products from Streptomyces venezuelae ... -
Apnea-Induced Cortical BOLD-fMRI and Peripheral Sympathoneural Firing Response Patterns of Awake Healthy Humans
(2013-12)No abstract available. -
Asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals with the same radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis walk with different knee moments and muscle activity
(Wiley, 2016-11-01)There is an established discordance between the structural joint damage and clinical symptoms of knee osteoarthritis; however, there has been little investigation into the differences in joint level biomechanics and muscle ... -
Barriers to gender-equitable HIV testing: going beyond routine screening for pregnant women in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2011-05)No abstract available. -
A case study of nurse practitioner role implementation in primary care: what happens when new roles are introduced?
(2013)Background: At the time of this study (2009) the role of the nurse practitioner was new to the province of British Columbia. The provincial government gave the responsibility for implementing the role to health authorities. ... -
Changes in electromyographic activity of trunk muscles within the sub-acute phase for individuals deemed recovered from a low back injury
(Elsevier, 2013-04)Evidence indicates that previous low back injury (LBI) is a strong predictor for re-injury. The purpose of this study was to examine whether neuromuscular patterns remain altered in a LBI group who were deemed recovered. ... -
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 ... -
Characterisation of trunk muscle activation amplitude patterns during a simulated checkstand operation with continuously changing flexor and lateral moment demands
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-04)While the typical physical exposure to modern-day workers has changed from heavy to low level repetitive demands, there is limited research that examines light occupations. This study examined trunk muscle recruitment ... -
Co-activation differences in lower limb muscles between asymptomatic controls and those with varying degrees of knee osteoarthritis during walking
(2009-06)Abstract: Background: Increased muscle co-activation during gait has been identified as a neuromuscular alteration associated with knee osteoarthritis, however levels of co-activation among different osteoarthritis severity ... -
Community engaged scholarship to catalyze innovation: a case study of the uptake of portable inhalers for respiratory medication in a pediatric emergency department in Nova Scotia
(Longwoods Publishing, 2016)This commentary, in response to Tamblyn et al. (2016), provides a case study of the uptake of metered-dose inhalers with spacers to deliver respiratory medication in a pediatric emergency department in Nova Scotia. Our ... -
Constituting the ideal body: A poststructural analysis of “obesity” discourses among gay men
(2018)Ideal bodies are constituted through various social and cultural discourses. One such discourse that constitutes bodies is the “obesity” discourse. The term obesity is a contested and medicalizing term that constitutes a ... -

A Deeper, More Social Ecological Social Work Practice
(University of Chicago Press, 2002-09)Although an ecological model of social work practice has been important to the profession since the 1970s, advances in ecological theory based on developments in deep ecology (Naess 1989) and social ecology (Bookchin 1980, ... -

Delphi Process of Research and Policy Intervention for Refugee Children and Youth
(2018-08)This report outlines that process and the results from it. The project was developed and carried out by Dr. Howard Ramos, Serperi Sevgur and Dr. Patrick McGrath of Dalhousie University. The report first offers an overview ...
