Adipose tissue (P)RR regulates insulin sensitivity, fat mass and body weight
(Elsevier, 2016-08-23)Objective We previously demonstrated that the handle-region peptide, a prorenin/renin receptor [(P)RR] blocker, reduces body weight and fat mass and may improve insulin sensitivity in high-fat fed mice. We hypothesized that knocking out the adipose ... -
Altered sensory-weighting mechanisms is observed in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
(2006)BACKGROUND:Scoliosis is the most common type of spinal deformity. In North American children, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) makes up about 90% of all cases of scoliosis. While its prevalence is about 2% to 3% in children aged between 10 to 16 ... -
Anti-pronator components are essential to effectively alter lower-limb kinematics and kinetics in individuals with flexible flatfeet
(Elsevier, 2021-05-23)Background Foot orthoses are commonly used to correct for foot alterations and especially address excessive foot pronation in individuals with flatfeet. In recent years, 3D printing has taken a key place in orthotic manufacturing processes as it offers ... -

Bioptim, a python framework for musculoskeletal optimal control in biomechanics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-06-28)Musculoskeletal simulations are useful in biomechanics to investigate the causes of movement disorders, to estimate non-measurable physiological quantities or to study the optimality of human movement. We introduce Bioptim, an easy-to-use Python ... -
Bow-side kinematics studies in violinists : an experimental design tracking intra- and -inter-musician variability by bow stroke’s type, string played and tempo
(Science and Medicine, Inc., 2022-09-01)Comparison of bow-side kinematics in violinists is hindered by the scarcity of studies available. This makes meta-analysis impossible. This paper assesses the effect of music-based variables (bow stroke, tempo and string played) on intra- and ... -
Can foot orthoses impose different gait features based on geometrical design in healthy subjects? : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-10-24)Objective Foot orthoses (FOs) are popular treatment to alleviate several abnormalities of lower extremity. FO designs might alter lower extremity biomechanics differently, but the association is not yet known. This review aimed to evaluate how different ... -
Canadian high school coaches’ experiences, insights, and perceived roles with sport-related concussions
(Human kinetics, 2015)There is a need to improve concussion education and prevention efforts for youth athletes and those responsible for their care. The purpose of this study was to understand Canadian high school coaches’ insights and perceptions of concussions. Using a ... -
Cavus foot in soccer players : increased prevalence in experienced players and risk factor for injury
(American Podiatric Medical Association, 2023-11)Background: Foot type, especially cavus foot, is associated with foot and ankle soccer injuries, such as ankle sprains, ankle instability, and foot and ankle lateral injuries. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for foot and ankle ... -
Cluster analysis using physical performance and self-report measures to identify shoulder injury in overhead female athletes
(Elsevier, 2018-09-14)Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic validity of the Kerlan-Jobe orthopedic clinic shoulder and elbow score (KJOC) and the Closed kinetic upper extremity stability test (CKCUEST) to assess functional impairments associated with shoulder injury in ... -
Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)Background Foot orthotics (FOs) are frequently prescribed to provide comfortable walking for patients. Finite element (FE) simulation and 3D printing pave the way to analyse, optimize and fabricate functionally graded lattice FOs where the local ... -

Concussion education : is it making a difference?
(Routledge, 2019)In response to the growing concern about concussions, experts have stated a need to educate athletes and members of the sport environment about the injury. Although the type of information that should be included in concussion education has generally ... -
Daily associations between sleep and physical activity : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-01-21)The day-to-day variations of sleep and physical activity are associated with various health outcomes in adults, and previous studies suggested a bidirectional association between these behaviors. The daily associations between sleep and physical activity ... -
Development, implementation and assessment of a concussion education programme for high school student-athletes
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)Although experts have noted that adolescent athletes should be educated about concussions to improve their safety, there is no agreement on the most effective strategy to disseminate concussion education. The purpose of this study was to develop, ... -
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and design on foot kinematics and plantar pressures in healthy people
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)Background Foot orthoses (FOs) have been widely prescribed to alter various lower limb disorders. FOs’ geometrical design and material properties have been shown to influence their impact on foot biomechanics. New technologies such as 3D printing ... -
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness on muscle activity and plantar pressures in individuals with flexible flatfeet : a statistical non-parametric mapping study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-29)Background The 3D printing technology allows to produce custom shapes and add functionalities to foot orthoses which offers better options for the treatment of flatfeet. This study aimed to assess the effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and/or ... -
Effect of expertise on shoulder and upper limb kinematics, electromyography, and estimated muscle forces during a lifting task
