Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of functional electrical stimulation on shoulder subluxation, arm function recovery, and shoulder pain in hemiplegic stroke patients.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the FES program was effective in reducing the severity of shoulder subluxation and pain, and possibly facilitating recovery of arm function.
Journal Article

A Prospective Study of Overuse Knee Injuries Among Female Athletes With Muscle Imbalances and Structural Abnormalities.

TL;DR: The presence of genu recurvatum and an H: Q ratio below normal range was associated with an increased prevalence of overuse knee injuries among female collegiate athletes and further investigation is needed to clarify which preseason screening procedures may identify collegiate athletes who are susceptible to over use knee injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Workplace Health Promotion and Occupational Ergonomics Programs

TL;DR: The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) is a research-to-practice effort examining the effectiveness of worksite programs that combine occupational safety and health—especiallyergonomics—with health promotion, emphasizing the contribution of work organization to both.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surveying food and beverage liking: a tool for epidemiological studies to connect chemosensation with health outcomes.

TL;DR: It is argued that assessing dietary preference via liking–disliking surveys holds promise for linking chemosensation with dietary intake and health outcomes in population‐based studies, and Hedonic measures appear to capture habitual intake of foods and beverages, are easy to implement in the field, and thus may increase understanding of how chemosensory variation modifies disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional electrical stimulation leg cycle ergometer exercise: training effects on cardiorespiratory responses of spinal cord injured subjects at rest and during submaximal exercise.

TL;DR: FES-LCE training improves peripheral muscular and central cardiovascular fitness in SCI subjects and may lead to improved rehabilitation outcome and reduced stress during activities of daily living, and possibly reduce the risks for secondary CR disabilities.
