  • In silico human cardiomyocyte action potential modeling : exploring ion channel input combinations 

    Boulay, Emmanuel; Troncy, Éric; Jacquemet, Vincent; Huang, Hai; Pugsley, Michael; Downey, Anne-Marie; Venegas Baca, Rafael; Authier, Simon (SAGE, 2024-03-13)
    In silico modeling offers an opportunity to supplement and accelerate cardiac safety testing. With in silico modeling, computational simulation methods are used to predict electrophysiological interactions and pharmacological effects of novel drugs on ...
  • Fast computation of multivariate synchrony index in sliding windows: application to cardiac neurons 

    Longpré, Jean-Philippe; Salavatian, Siamak; Beaumont, Éric; Armour, J. Andrew; Ardell, Jeffrey L.; Jacquemet, Vincent (2014-09)
    Multielectrode array neuronal recordings in atrial ganglionated plexi are characterized by low firing rates, marked non-stationarity, interplay with the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and artifacts generated by myocardial activity, which creates ...
  • Pelvic floor muscle training versus no treatment, or inactive control treatments, for urinary incontinence in women 

    Dumoulin, Chantal; Cacciari, Licia P.; Hay‐Smith, E. Jean C. (Wiley, 2018-10-04)
    Background Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the most commonly used physical therapy treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It is sometimes also recommended for mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and, less commonly, urgency ...
  • Group-based pelvic floor telerehabilitation to treat urinary incontinence in older women : a feasibility study 

    Le Berre, Mélanie; Filiatrault, Johanne; Reichetzer, Barbara; Dumoulin, Chantal (MDPI, 2023)
    Less than half of women with urinary incontinence (UI) receive treatment, despite the high prevalence and negative impact of UI and the evidence supporting the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). A non-inferiority randomized controlled ...
  • Portable dynamometer-based measurement of pelvic floor muscle force 

    El-Sayegh, Batoul; Dumoulin, Chantal; Ali, Mohamed; Assaf, Hussein; De Jong, Jacqueline; Sawan, Mohamad; Leduc-Primeau, François (Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2022-11-18)
    Objective: In attempts to improve the quality of life of women, continuous projects are sought between rehabilitation intervention and engineering. Using the knowledge of the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) physiology, assessment and training methods are ...
  • The VITAAL stepping exergame prototype for older adults with major neurocognitive disorder : a usability study 

    Swinnen, Nathalie; Bruin, Eling D. de; Dumoulin, Chantal; Thalmann, Melanie; Guimarães, Vânia; De Jong, Jacqueline; Vandenbulcke, Mathieu; Vancampfort, Davy (Frontiers Media, 2021-11-04)
    Purpose: This study investigates the usability of a stepping exergame in older adults with major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD) residing in a long-term care facility. Materials and Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted. Participants played exergames ...
  • International urogynecology consultation chapter 3 committee 2; conservative treatment of patient with pelvic organ prolapse : pelvic floor muscle training 

    Bo, Kari; Anglès‑Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg H.; Chan, Yi Ling; Homsi Jorge, Cristine; Kruger, Jennifer A.; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantal (Springer, 2022-08-18)
    Introduction and hypothesis This manuscript from Chapter 3 of the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) describes the current evidence and suggests future directions for research on the effect of pelvic floor ...
  • Are hypopressive and other exercise programs efective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse? 

    Bo, Kari; Anglès‑Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg H.; Chan, Yi Ling; Homsi Jorge, Cristine; Kruger, Jennifer A.; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantal (Springer, 2022-11-23)
    Introduction and hypothesis Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is effective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), but other exercise programs have also been promoted and used. The aim of this review was to evaluate the effect of hypopressive ...
  • Usability study of a multicomponent exergame training for older adults with mobility limitations 

    Thalmann, Melanie; Ringli, Lisa; Adcock, Manuela; Swinnen, Nathalie; De Jong, Jacqueline; Dumoulin, Chantal; Guimarães, Vânia; Bruin, Eling D. de (MDPI, 2021-12-20)
    The global population aged 60 years and over rises due to increasing life expectancy. More older adults suffer from “geriatric giants”. Mobility limitations, including immobility and instability, are usually accompanied by physical and cognitive ...
  • Strenuous physical activity, exercise, and pelvic organ prolapse : a narrative scoping review 

    Bo, Kari; Anglès‑Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg H.; Chan, Yi Ling; Homsi Jorge, Cristine; Kruger, Jennifer A.; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantal (Springer, 2023-01-24)
    Introduction and hypothesis High-intensity physical activity and exercise have been listed as possible risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The aim of the present study is to conduct a literature review on the prevalence and incidence of POP ...
