Presented in this study is a wide-ranging investigation into the use of properties of balance in an operational numerical weather prediction context. Initially, a joint numerical and observational study is undertaken. We used the Unified Model (UM), the suite of atmospheric and …
The Iraq ‘Chilcot’ Inquiry is the last in a string of public inquiries tasked with understanding how the British state went to war with Iraq. In so doing, the inquiries have become defined by the problem of striking a balance between publicity and secrecy. While exposing foreign…
Concussion is the most common form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is a disproportionate level of understanding between the acute and chronic impairments associated with traumatic brain injury. Specifically, problems maintaining balance during standing and walkin…
Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have increased visual reliance after repetitive ankle injuries. Using Virtual Reality (VR) might induce the central nervous systems (CNS) to rely on somatosensory or vestibular feedback by providing unreliable visual cues. The aim of…
Falls are a common complication post-stroke. Falls in individuals with stroke are multifactorial and are associated with a wide range of stroke-related impairments. Such associated impairments in conjunction with the challenging ambulatory environments predisposes people with st…
The purpose of this two-study dissertation was to determine how concussion history, career status, cumulative years of football exposure (study one), and activity status (study two) affect performance on sports-related concussion measures in healthy, elite athletes and non-athle…
Concussion has been linked to an increased risk of lower extremity injury. It is hypothesized that residual postural control deficits due to delays in central processing speed or sensory reweighting are responsible for the increased risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluat…
Background. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) on squat strength when compared to glute strengthening exercises in individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 experiencing low back pain (LBP). Additionally, DNS was comp…
