Drs. Chris West and Alexandra Williams are investigating whether there are differences between the male and female heart in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) between the C4 and T6 levels, in comparison to any sex-related differences that exist in Read More…
ICORD researcher Dr. Claydon and her research team at SFU are interested in studying how spinal cord injury (SCI) may impact the relationship between breathing and cardiovascular function, and to characterise the interactions between breathing-related cardiovascular regulation and obstructive sleep Read More…
The objective of this study is to investigate sublesional muscle health in SCI patients with subacute cervical SCI. We are comparing several ultrasound measures between patients and healthy controls. Participants will be asked to relax in a comfortable sitting position. Read More…
Are you interested in getting your brain scanned? Researchers in Dr. John Kramer’s lab are recruiting participants (ages 19-45) not diagnosed with chronic pain, spinal cord injury, or other major health conditions for an Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/Magnetic resonance spectroscopy Read More…
This study looks at a device that uses light to determine the fitness of muscles in the body, specifically the researchers want to look at the pelvic floor muscles that help with bladder control. This study will measure the difference Read More…
This study is looking at a device that uses light to determine how the bladder muscle uses oxygen, specifically the researchers want to look at the relationship between bladder pressure that is recorded during bladder function studies (urodynamics) and the Read More…
The Joy-Active Project focusses on promoting and implementing physical activity guidelines for adults with disabilities. The study purposes are to look at participation within a community-based exercise program for adults with disabilities and to better understand the experiences and perceptions Read More…
This study aims to determine if a new method for exercising forearm muscle that involves several rounds of low-intensity (LI) exercise while applying blood flow restriction (BFR) using a tourniquet over the arm, is a more effective methodology for increasing Read More…
Since adaptive cardiovascular equipment is typically not available, ICORD researchers have created a relatively inexpensive rowing machine (aROW) that can be set up in a home or local gym. They want to know what setting is the best place for Read More…
Effects of sex on belt fit in relation to skeletal geometry The goal of this study is to determine if seatbelts fit males and females differently. In order to do this, it is important to determine seatbelt location relative to Read More…
