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 ... -

HIV and disability: a pilot study exploring the use of the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills to measure daily life performance
(2013-01)Introduction: Limitations in performing activities of daily living (ADL) are important indicators of health and overall wellness, yet relatively few studies specifically identify the ADL abilities of people living with ... -
Lessons learned from the implementation of a provincial breastfeeding policy in Nova Scotia, Canada and the implications for childhood obesity prevention
(2012-04)Healthy public policy plays a central role in creating environments that are supportive of health. Breastfeeding, widely supported as the optimal mode for infant feeding, is a critical factor in promoting infant health. ... -
Is There a Dose Response for Valgus Unloader Brace Usage on Knee Pain, Function, and Muscle Strength?
(2012-03)Abstract: Hurley ST, Hatfield Murdock GL, Stanish WD, Hubley-Kozey CL. Is there a dose response for valgus unloader brace usage on knee pain, function, and muscle strength? Objective: To examine whether there was a dose ... -
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 ... -
State-related changes in MEG functional connectivity reveal the task-positive sensorimotor network
(2012)Functional connectivity measures applied to magnetoencephalography (MEG) data have the capacity to elucidate neuronal networks. However, the task-related modulation of these measures is essential to identifying the functional ... -

When caring is not enough: Emotional labor and youth shelter workers
(1999-09)Organizations often dictate how their employees should behave through explicit rules and structures. In addition, sociologists and organizational theorists suggest that organizations invest energy, time, and money into ... -
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, ...
