Variation of Force Amplitude and its Effects on Muscle Fatigue
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-20)Current trends in industry are leaning towards specialized production systems and sedentary computer work tasks that are associated with low and less varying mechanical exposures. It has been suggested that physical ... -
Vascular Aging: Influences on cerebral blood flow and executive function
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)An age-related decline in cerebral blood flow (CBF) is widely acknowledged. However, uncertainty exists as to whether this reduction is the result of a reduced metabolic demand (cerebral atrophy) or an impaired delivery ... -
Visual determinants of postural control and perception during physical and visual motion
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-30)The control of balance and posture is a critical task of daily life to limit the risk of falls and potential injury. In order to be successful in the control of balance the central nervous system utilizes sensory feedback ... -
Visual Inputs and Motor Outputs as Indivduals Walk Through Dynamically Changing Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-01)Walking around in dynamically changing environments require the integration of three of our sensory systems: visual, vestibular, and kinesethic. Vision is the only modality of these three sensory systems that provides ... -
VISUAL INPUTS AND MOTOR OUTPUTS AS INDIVIDUALS WALK THROUGH DYNAMICALLY CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Walking around in dynamically changing environments require the integration of three of our sensory systems: visual, vestibular, and kinesethic. Vision is the only modality of these three sensory systems that provides ... -
Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Older Adults Living in Ontario Long-Term Care Homes: Protocols, Testing Procedures and Prevalence
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)BACKGROUND: Vitamin B12 status is a relevant topic to older adults and deficiency has avoidable clinical ramifications. While classical symptoms of B12 deficiency are either hematologic or neurologic, presentation of these ... -
Vitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone and Bone Quality in Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-14)Background: Following spinal cord injury (SCI) declines in sub-lesional bone mineral density (BMD) occur, and are associated with a high prevalence of fractures. Conventional risk factors for osteoporosis diagnosis in the ... -
Wearable Hip Protectors: Validation of a Novel Test System and Evaluation Utilizing Pressure Sensing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-14)Hip fractures are strongly associated with sideway falls to the hip, poor response time, lack of soft tissue energy absorption, and subpar proximal femur strength (Cummings and Nevitt, 2001). Hip protectors are a common ... -
Wearable Sensor Technology and Machine Learning for Prediction of Oxygen Uptake and Extraction of Kinetics during Moderate and Heavy Intensity Exercise
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-19)The speed at which pulmonary oxygen uptake (V̇O2p) responds to a change in energetic demand provides information about an individual’s health and functional capabilities. Advances in wearable sensor technology and machine ... -
Wearable Technology and the Measurement of Physical Activity Intensity and Volume
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)Physical activity has been linked to numerous health outcomes including a decreased risk of chronic disease and an increased quality of life; it is therefore an important component of rehabilitative and preventative programs ... -
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 ...
