Effects of multiple concussions on retired national hockey league players
(Human kinetics, 2012-12-17)The purpose of this study was to understand the meanings and lived experiences of multiple concussions in professional hockey players using hermeneutic, idiographic, and inductive approaches within an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The ... -
Estrogen and testosterone in concert with EFNB3 regulate vascular smooth muscle cell contractility and blood pressure
(American physiological society, 2016-02-05)EPH kinases and their ligands, ephrins (EFNs), have vital and diverse biological functions, although their function in blood pressure (BP) control has not been studied in detail. In the present study, we report that Efnb3 gene knockout (KO) led to ... -
Ethical issues surrounding concussions and player safety in professional ice hockey
(Springer, 2014-05-15)Concussions in professional sports have received increased attention, which is partly attributable to evidence that found concussion incidence rates were much higher than previously thought (Echlin et al. Journal of Neurosurgical Focus 29:1–10, 2010). ... -
Evaluation of ligament laxity during pregnancy
(Elsevier, 2019-02-20)Objective Pregnancy-related changes in ligament laxity have been shown to be associated with various disorders such as back pain or pelvic floor disorders. The purpose of this study was to assess laxity changes during pregnancy by confronting different ... -
An examination of concussion education programmes : a scoping review methodology
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015-03-30)Objectives The primary purpose was to review the literature on concussion education programmes. The secondary purpose was to inform knowledge translation strategies for concussion researchers and practitioners. Design Research on concussion education ... -
Exercise training can attenuate preeclampsia-like features in an animal model
Exercise training can attenuate preeclampsia-like symptoms in an animal model.
(Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2010-12)Objective: Exercise training benefits have been widely investigated and used as alternative treatment for different pathological conditions. Since preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-associated disease for which no treatment is available, our aim was ... -
Exploring student-athletes’ perceptions of their psychological readiness to return to sport following a concussion
(American Psychological Association, 2022-08-16)Athletes returning to sport following a concussion are deemed “ready” once they progress through the return to sport (RTS) steps. However, this process largely overlooks psychological factors involved in returning to sport. We used a constructivist ... -
Exploring the factors involved in being “ready” to return to sport following a concussion
(2022-12-06)Objective: To explore the factors involved in athletes being ready (or not) to return to sport (RTS) after sport-related concussion (SRC). Design: Qualitative, semistructured interviews. Setting: Videoconference. Participants: Twenty-two ... -
Exploring the unique challenges faced by female university athletes experiencing prolonged concussion symptoms
(American Psychological Association, 2017-08)The present study explored female university athletes’ experiences with protracted concussion symptoms, including the factors that impeded or facilitated their recovery. Five female athletes who competed in 4 different university sports in Canada ... -
Finite element model of the shoulder with active rotator cuff muscles : application to wheelchair propulsion
(Springer, 2024-02-20)Purpose: The rotator cuff is prone to injury, remarkably so for manual wheelchair users. To understand its pathomechanisms, finite element models incorporating threedimensional activated muscles are needed to predict soft tissue strains during ... -
Gait adaptations of individuals with cerebral palsy on irregular surfaces : a scoping review
(Elsevier, 2022-05-10)Background Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have a reduced ability to perform motor tasks such as walking. During daily walking, they are confronted with environmental constraints such as irregular surfaces (e.g., relief and uneven surfaces) which ... -
Glenohumeral joint and muscles functions during a lifting task
(Elsevier, 2021-07-19)The mobility of the healthy shoulder depends on complex interactions between the muscles spanning its glenohumeral joint. These interactions ensure the stability of this joint. While previous studies emphasized the complexity of the glenohumeral ... -
Ilio-femoral ligament strains during the flexion-abduction-external rotation test : a cadaveric study
(Elsevier, 2023-02-02)Background: Flexion-abduction-external-rotation (FABER) test is one of the most used tests during the clinical assessment of the hip joint. The limited range of motions reached could be due to iliofemoral ligament tightness, but no study has assessed ... -
The impact of outdoor walking surfaces on lower-limb coordination and variability during gait in healthy adults
(Elsevier, 2021-09-20)Background Inter-joint coordination and variability during gait provide insight into control and adaptability of the neuromuscular system. To date, coordination research has been restricted to laboratory settings, and it is unclear how these findings ... -
The influence of proximal motor strategies on pianists' upper-limb movement variability
(Elsevier, 2023-06-07)Repetitive movements are considered a risk factor for developing practice-related musculoskeletal disorders. Intra-participant kinematic variability might help musicians reduce the risk of injury during repetitive tasks. No research has studied the ... -
Insights from adolescent athletes concerning the acquisition and dissemination of concussion information
(Sociedade científica de pedagogia do desporto, 2016)Especialistas notaram que a segurança dos atletas seria maior se eles forem melhor informados sobre concussões. O objetivo deste estudo foi abordar esta questão através da aquisição de conhecimentos dos atletas adolescentes sobre concussões. As questões ... -
Intra- and inter-tester reliability of spasticity assessment in standing position in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy using a paediatric exoskeleton
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-08-01)Background The L-STIFF tool of the Lokomat evaluates the hip and knee flexors and extensors spasticity in a standing position. It moves the lower limb at a controlled velocity, measuring joint resistance to passive movements. Since its reliability in ... -
Intracapsular pressures in the flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-adduction-internal rotation tests and their comparison with classic hip range of motion : a cadaveric assessment
(Elsevier, 2021-11-11)Background Flexion-Abduction-External-Rotation and Flexion-Adduction-Internal-Rotation tests are used to reproduce pain at the hip during clinical assessment. As pain can be elicited by high intracapsular pressure, no information has been provided ... -
A longitudinal pilot study on cognition and cerebral hemodynamics in a mouse model of preeclampsia superimposed on hypertension : looking at mothers and their offspring
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-01)Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder in pregnant women and whose causes and consequences have focused primarily on cardiovascular outcomes on the mother and offspring, often without taking into consideration the possible effects on the ...
