The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ... -
The effect of isometric cervical strength, head impact location, and impact mechanism on simulated head impact measures in female ice hockey players
(2018)Head injuries in sport have become a growing concern due to the negative acute and chronic health effects manifested from concussion injuries. Ice hockey is a sport associated with a high rate of concussions, although most ... -
The Effect of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury on Reaction Time, Dual-tasking Reaction Time and Heart Rate Variability in Driving Simulation
(2015)The present study was performed to address some gaps in current literature related to dual tasking, reaction time, and heart rate variability (HRV) in concussed individuals during driving simulation, and to determine the ... -
The Effect of Spring Loaded Single-Hip Support Cane Mechanisms on Upper and Affected Lower Limb Ground Reaction Forces, Muscle Activity, and Self-perceived Ease of Use
(2016)The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of commercial spring loaded single-tip canes on ground reaction forces, impulse, and EMG activation in the upper limb during ambulation. Ground reaction ... -
The Influence of Neck Stiffness, Impact Location, and Angle on Peak Linear Acceleration, Shear Force, and Energy Loading Measures of Hockey Helmet Impacts
(2016)Head and brain injuries like concussion affect many hockey players throughout their playing careers. Hockey helmets remain to be the best form of head protection available as they function well to reduce the occurrence of ... -
The usefulness of a carpal tunnel compression assessment tool: evidence of reliability and validity in assessing carpal tunnel syndrome
(2015-02-02)Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition (neuropathy) that affects many individuals throughout their daily lives. The condition is caused by the compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel space, with ...
