Precision based guidelines for sub-maximal normalisation task selection for trunk extensor EMG
(Elsevier, 2017-07-01)Aim The object of this study was to quantify the contribution of sub-maximal normalisation to the overall variance of exposure parameters describing erector spinae (ES) activity, and to provide guidelines for task selection ... -
Prevalence and Determinants of Poor Food Intake of Residents Living in Long-Term Care
(Elsevier, 2017-06-28)Poor food intake is known to lead to malnutrition in long-term care homes (LTCH), yet multilevel determinants of food intake are not fully understood, hampering development of interventions that can maintain the nutritional ... -
A procedure for determining parameters of a simplified ligament model
(Elsevier, 2017-11-03)A previous mathematical model of ligament force-generation treated their behavior as a population of collagen fibres arranged in parallel. When damage was ignored in this model, an expression for ligament force in terms ... -
Regional activation of anterior and posterior supraspinatus differs by plane of elevation, hand load and elevation angle
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The supraspinatus is one of the muscles of the rotator cuff, and growing research on fibre type composition and mechanical advantages in specific postures suggest this muscle may have distinct anterior and posterior regions. ... -
Regional activation of supraspinatus and infraspinatus sub-regions during dynamic tasks performed with free weights
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Growing evidence supports the existence of distinct anatomical sub-regions within supraspinatus and infraspinatus, but only recently has attention turned to exploring their potential functional differences. Using indwelling ... -
Representing fine-wire EMG with surface EMG in three thigh muscles during high knee flexion movements
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Activation waveforms of vastus intermedius, adductor magnus, and semimembranosus have not been reported for high knee flexion activities such as kneeling or squatting, likely due to the invasive procedures required for ... -
The role of somatosensory input in target localization during binocular and monocular viewing while performing a high precision reaching and placement task
(Elsevier, 2019-06)Binocular vision provides the most accurate and precise depth information; however, many people have impairments in binocular visual function. It is possible that other sensory inputs could be used to obtain reliable depth ... -
Thigh-calf contact parameters for six high knee flexion postures: Onset, maximum angle, total force, contact area, and center of force.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-23)In high knee flexion, contact between the posterior thigh and calf is expected to decrease forces on tibiofemoral contact surfaces, therefore, thigh-calf contact needs to be thoroughly characterized to model its effect. ... -
Three-dimensional comparison of static and dynamic scapular motion tracking techniques
(Elsevier, 2014-02)The shoulder is complex and comprised of many moving parts. Accurately measuring shoulder rhythm is difficult. To classify shoulder rhythm and identify pathological movement, static measures have been the preferred method. ... -
Two weeks of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation increases synthesis-secretion kinetics of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to 8 weeks of DHA supplementation
(Elsevier, 2018-10)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) must be consumed in the diet or synthesized from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) precursors. However, the effect of dietary DHA on the metabolic pathway is not fully understood. ... -
Using a collaborative research approach to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda for the study of mobile health interventions for older adults.
(JMIR Mhealth Uhealth., 2015-02-10)Background: Seniors with chronic diseases are often called on to self-manage their conditions. Mobile health (mHealth) tools may be a useful strategy to help seniors access health information at the point of decision-making, ... -
Whole blood long-chain n-3 fatty acids as a measure of fish oil compliance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) may prevent chemotherapy-induced hyperlipidemia in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, compliance could be a problem and intake-biomarker correlations may be ...
