You are invited to participate in a study evaluating your daily exposure to faces for factors such as size, gender, viewing distance, and angle. The study involves the use of a head-mounted camera that will take photographs at regular intervals Read More…
We are interested in how people recognize faces. Participants will be asked to take part in an online test assessing their ability to differentiate faces of various levels of similarity. Why should you participate? There are no immediate benefits to Read More…
The goal of this pilot study is to demonstrate the safety, tolerance, and effectiveness of a 45-minute passive heating session providing a mild/moderate exercise response (warm up and 20-25 min activity equivalent) from full-body hot-water immersion in individuals with higher-level Read More…
Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) dysfunction can significantly affect quality of life in people with SCI, as it is associated with urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. PFM training is a common form of physical therapy that aims to strengthen Read More…
Bladder dysfunction significantly impacts quality of life in people with SCI, but rehabilitation options for managing bladder symptoms in SCI have been scarcely considered. Previous research has shown that there is important overlap between the part of the spinal cord Read More…
People with spinal cord injury engage in 12-13 hours a day of sedentary behaviour, which includes sitting. Prolonged inactivity may influence pain intensity, although no one has measured how sedentary behaviour may interact with pain experienced by people with spinal Read More…
This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of non-invasive spinal cord stimulation in recovering cardiovascular, bladder, bowel, and sexual functions in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). We are interested in both the immediate effects (i.e., effects when the Read More…
