Overground gait transitions are not sharp but involve gradually changing walk–run mixtures even over long distances Open
Humans typically walk at low speeds and run at higher speeds. Previous studies of transitions between walking and running were mostly on treadmills, but real-world locomotion allows more flexibility. Here, we study overground locomotion ov…

The usability of a virtual reality augmented training program to teach goniometry to occupational therapy students Open
IVR training programs such as this one hold promise for teaching manual skill acquisition such as goniometry. As IVR technologies become more affordable and widespread, this approach could complement other strategies used to teach goniomet…

Lifetime Risk of Symptomatic Hand Osteoarthritis: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project Open
OBJECTIVE: Symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition that affects hand strength and function, and causes disability in activities of daily living. Prior studies have estimated that the lifetime risk of symptomatic knee OA …

Considerations when trying to quantify immersion with secondary tasks Open
Immersion is a crucial component to characterizing virtual reality (VR) and discovering its many implications for our lives. Studies have defined immersion as the extent that virtual environments submerge users’ perceptual systems, shut ou…

Examining the difference between 10- and 20-min of immersive virtual reality on symptoms, affect, and central sensitization in people with chronic back pain Open
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is increasingly used as a treatment for chronic pain. In this crossover randomized pilot study, we examined the effect of 10- and 20-min dosages on back pain intensity, affect, and measures of pain sensitiza…

A standardized protocol for the comprehensive assessment of dental hygiene work Open
BACKGROUND: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent in dental hygienists. Although engineering controls and ergonomic training is available, it is unclear why this intransigent problem continues. One possible barrier is that a…

Identifying an Optimal Sampling Method to Estimate Postural Risk in a Dynamic Work Task Open
Introduction: The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is an ergonomic assessment tool used to screen for risk of musculoskeletal injury due to working posture. The RULA is traditionally applied once during a work task to approximate overall…
