Abstract:

The aim of this Master's study was to quantify the effects of an eight week, 20-lesson Alexander Technique (AT) training program on neck/shoulder postural alignment, range of motion and muscle activity in healthy people during tasks that targeted the head-neck/shoulder relationship. Post AT training laboratory assessments revealed a decrease in upper thoracic kyphosis in a static seated posture task and in a computer typing task. There was an increase in serratus anterior muscle activity amplitude at 120 degrees of a weighted shoulder flexion task and an increase in shoulder flexion range of m

Abstract:

Postoperative spinal patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions and were taught five adaptive movements by occupational therapists. The Control group received routine hospital occupational therapy; the Placebo group participated in an imagery relaxation task unrelated to the mental practice task of the Imagery group, which was shown line drawings of the adaptive movements under study, provided movement instructions, and asked to mentally practice each movement in a familiar, daily living situation. Thirty-five patients returned for follow-up, and a measure of outcome

Abstract:

Although strategic planning has been used successfully in most major business institutions, higher education has been slow to adopt this management technique. Involvement in planning is a critical issue for allied health educational programs, such as physical therapy, which are relatively new to the academic environment. These programs face a continual need to update their curricula and clinical education based on rapid changes in the health care delivery system and the profession. The problem of this study was to determine the extent to which the strategic planning process is currently applie

Abstract:

The goal of Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) is to deliver a uniform dose to the patient's entire skin to a limited depth while sparing the body organs. Due to the laborious commissioning process, it is helpful to use the Monte Carlo (MC) method for the procedure and treatment planning. Calculations of dosimetric quantities were performed with EGSnrc/BEAM MC codes as well as with the fast MC code XVMC. The linac model for a 6 MeV Varian CL21EX accelerator was established by measuring the electron focal spot size with a slit camera. Using this measured focal spot value in our proposed

Abstract:

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising technique for the treatment of localized cancers. The ability to focus ultrasound precisely on a predetermined volume allows the possibility of selective tissue destruction at this position without damage to surrounding tissues. However, many difficulties remain in the treatment of deep-seated tumors. In this thesis, new therapeutic and monitoring techniques are proposed to address these problems, by using phased arrays of ultrasound transducers. Two monitoring techniques based on the detection of the displacements of the ultrasonic speck

Abstract:

Intensity-modulated brachytherapy techniques, compensator-based intensity modulated brachytherapy (CBT) and interstitial rotating shield brachytherapy (I-RSBT), are two novel conceptual radiation therapies for treating cervical and prostate cancer, respectively. Compared to conventional brachytherapy techniques for treating cervical cancer, CBT can potentially improve the dose conformity to the high-risk clinical target volume (CTV) of the cervix in a less invasive approach. I-RSBT can reduce the dose delivered to the prostate organ at risks (OARs) with the same radiation dose delivered to the

Abstract:

A patient specific image planning system (IPS) was developed that can be used to assist in kV imaging technique selection during localization for radiotherapy. The IPS algorithm performs a divergent ray-trace through a three dimensional computed tomography (CT) data set. Energy-specific attenuation through each voxel of the CT data set is calculated and imaging detector response is integrated into the algorithm to determine the absolute values of pixel intensity and image contrast. Phantom testing demonstrated that image contrast resulting from under exposure, over exposure as well as a contra

Abstract:

Reoccurrence of deformity can affect upwards of 64% of children with clubfoot. The ability to use foot function as a measure of reoccurrence has not been previously assessed. The purpose of this investigation was to utilize foot pressure analysis to predict the probability of reoccurrence in children with unilateral clubfoot. Retrospective foot pressure data revealed predictive algorithms detecting the probability of experiencing any type of reoccurrence (overall reoccurrence) and for experiencing a tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT).

Full text

Abstract:

Correct muscular activation of the body segments during an overhand throw is achieved when movement originates in the larger and more proximal legs and trunk and moves sequentially to the smaller, distal segments of the shoulder and arm. This sequence permits angular velocity to transfer progressively through the throw as part of an open kinetic chain. The athlete can summate angular velocity and segmental forces only if he is able to create a separation between the body segments during the movement pattern, and this separation is thus essential to effective segmental sequencing for activation

Abstract:

Normal movement execution requires proper coupling of motor and sensory activation. An increasing body of literature supports the idea that incorporation of sensory stimulation into motor rehabilitation practices increases its effectiveness. Paired associative stimulation (PAS) studies, in which afferent and efferent pathways are activated in tandem, have brought attention to the importance of well-timed stimulation rather than non-associative (i.e., open-loop) activation. In patients with tetraplegia resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI), varying degrees of upper limb function may remain an

Permanent breast seed implant brachytherapy (PBSI) is a recently developed form of treatment for early-stage breast cancer which can be completed in a single day procedure. Due to the reduced treatment burden, PBSI has the potential to benefit many women. However the technique has not been widely implemented, potentially related to the lack of a standardized, reproducible procedure and a high level of operator dependence. Challenges relating to target visualization uncertainties and the reliance on free-hand 2D ultrasound (US) guidance potentially inhibit adoption of the technique. This work a
