The Landscape of Virtual Reality Use in Mobility Rehabilitation from 2010–2023: A Scoping Review Open
Significant advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology have occurred in the past decade, allowing clinical researchers to take advantage of these reduced barriers to explore the use of VR in patient populations. This scoping review on…
Clinician perspectives on virtual reality use in physical therapy practice in the United States Open
The primary goal of physical rehabilitation is to assess movement impairments and restore function to improve overall quality of life. Virtual reality (VR) may provide the optimal environment to promote these goals due to its motivating an…
Mimicking an Asymmetrically Walking Visual Cue Alters Gait Symmetry in Healthy Adults Open
Gait asymmetries are a common problem in clinical populations, such as those with a history of stroke or Parkinson’s disease. The use of a split-belt treadmill is one way to enhance gait symmetry but relies on specialty (and typically expe…
The Investigation of Nonlinear Variability Underlying Postural Control in The Injure-Limb in Individuals with and without Chronic Ankle Instability Open
Background Less flexible and adaptable sensorimotor systems reflect in movement variability in individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), which may limit their ability to detect relevant information using a variety of primary sensor…
Sensory Reweighting System Differences on Vestibular Feedback With Increased Task Constraints in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability Open
Context Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is associated with a less flexible and adaptable sensorimotor system. Thus, individuals with CAI may present an inadequate sensory reweighting system, inhibiting their ability to place more emphasis …
The impact of differential knee laxity on brain activation during passive knee joint loading Open
Although higher anterior knee laxity (AKL) is an established risk factor of anterior cruciate ligament injury, underlying mechanisms are uncertain. While decreased proprioception and altered movement patterns in individuals with AKL have b…
Neuromotor changes in participants with a concussion history can be detected with a custom smartphone app Open
Neuromotor dysfunction after a concussion is common, but balance tests used to assess neuromotor dysfunction are typically subjective. Current objective balance tests are either cost- or space-prohibitive, or utilize a static balance proto…
Direction-Specific Signatures of Sport Participation in Center of Pressure Profiles of Division I Athletes Open
Background Descriptive and comparative studies of human postural control generally report effects for component or resultant dimensions of a measured signal, which may obscure potentially important information related to off-cardinal direc…
The Effects of Gluteal Strength and Activation on the Relationship Between Femoral Alignment and Functional Valgus Collapse During a Single-Leg Landing Open
Context : A bias toward femoral internal rotation is a potential precursor to functional valgus collapse. The gluteal muscles may play a critical role in mitigating these effects. Objective : Determine the extent to which gluteal strength …
Relationship of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Volume and T2* Relaxation Time to Anterior Knee Laxity Open
Background: High anterior knee laxity (AKL) has been prospectively identified as a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Given that ACL morphometry and structural composition have the potential to influence ligamentous…
A New Design of a Dressed Balloon Cavity with Superior Mechanical Properties Open
Superconducting spoke cavities are prone to multipactor - resonant raise of a number of electrons due to secondary emission. Recently proposed and tested by TRIUMF balloon-type spoke cavity showed an outstanding multipactor (MP) suppressio…

Assessment Tools for Identifying Functional Limitations Associated With Functional Ankle Instability Open
Assessment tools should identify functional limitations associated with functional ankle instability (FAI) by discriminating unstable from stable ankles.
Thigh Muscle Activity, Knee Motion, and Impact Force During Side-Step Pivoting in Agility-Trained Female Basketball Players Open
Improving neuromuscular control of hamstrings muscles might have implications for decreasing anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females.
Effect of Perceived Fatigue and Workload on Two Mobile Balance Tests Open
Mobile balance assessments using sensors in portable devices to objectively measure postural control have become popular in recent years. However, there is a current gap in the literature with respect to how perceived fatigue and perceived…
ACL Size and Notch Width Between ACLR and Healthy Individuals: A Pilot Study Open
Background: Given the relatively high risk of contralateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in patients with ACL reconstruction (ACLR), there is a need to understand intrinsic risk factors that may contribute to contralateral injur…
Enhanced balance associated with coordination training with stochastic resonance stimulation in subjects with functional ankle instability: an experimental trial Open
Background Ankle sprains are common injuries that often lead to functional ankle instability (FAI), which is a pathology defined by sensations of instability at the ankle and recurrent ankle sprain injury. Poor postural stability has been …
Sex Comparisons of In Vivo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Morphometry Open
Context Females have consistently higher anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates than males. The reasons for this disparity are not fully understood. Whereas ACL morphometric characteristics are associated with injury risk and female…
Potential Mediators of Load-Related Decreases in Movement Quality in Young, Healthy Adults Open
Context Predicting and promoting physical performance are important goals within the tactical professional community. Movement screens are frequently used in this capacity but are poor predictors of performance outcomes. It has recently be…
Regional differences in anterior cruciate ligament imaging biomarkers: T2 and T2* values Open
Introduction: Imaging biomarkers such as T2 and T2* relaxation times have been used in a variety of tissues as surrogates of structural components.Before using such techniques to assess ACL tissue, healthy values must be established.The pu…
Potential Mediators of Load-Related Changes in Movement Complexity in Young, Healthy Adults Open
Context Movement screening has become increasingly popular among tactical professionals. This popularity has motivated the design of interventions that cater to improving outcomes on the screens themselves, which are often scored in refere…
