  • Attention and gait performance following a concussion 
    Catena, Robert David, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    Currently the information on attention-balance control interactions following concussion is incomplete and not given particular consideration during clinical examinations of concussion. The purposes of this dissertation ...
  • Contribution of spinal segments to control of posture during typical and atypical development 
    Saavedra, Sandra Lee, 1952- (University of Oregon, 2010-03)
    Trunk control is critical for all functional movement, yet little is known about the development of trunk stability. Previous research considered the trunk to be one rigid segment ignoring the complexity of multiple spinal ...
  • Cutaneous vasodilation at simulated high altitude: Impacts on human thermoregulation and vasoconstrictor function 
    Simmons, Grant H., 1981- (University of Oregon, 2008-12)
    During acute altitude exposure, humans maintain higher skin temperature and lower core body temperature. However, the role of cutaneous vascular regulation in these thermoregulatory differences is unclear. Therefore, the ...
  • Executive function deficits in traumatic brain injury 
    LaRoux, Charlene I., 1979- (University of Oregon, 2010-12)
    The short and long term pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been fully elucidated. Individuals recently suffering a mild TBI (mTBI) or having a history of TBI frequently suffer deficits in their ability ...
  • Functional implications of cortical damage 
    Rolheiser, Tyler M., 1979- (University of Oregon, 2008-12)
    Traumatic brain injury has reached epidemic levels, and yet there are still large questions that need to be addressed regarding the underlying pathology and the related behavioral deficits. Adequately measuring the ...
  • Impact of Postexercise Hyperemia on Glucose Regulation in Humans 
    Pellinger, Thomas Kent, 1970- (University of Oregon, 2008-09)
    An acute bout of moderate-intensity dynamic exercise results in a sustained rise in skeletal muscle blood flow from that of pre-exercise levels. This postexercise skeletal muscle hyperemia is mediated by two histamine ...
  • Mechanisms of heat acclimation and exercise performance 
    Lorenzo, Santiago, 1978- (University of Oregon, 2010-03)
    There has been a lot of research investigating the effects of heat stress and exercise on the physiological adaptations to heat acclimation. It is well documented that heat acclimation improves heat tolerance and performance ...
  • Postexercise hemodynamics: Interactions of sex, training status, and fluid regulation 
    Lynn, Brenna Meaghan, 1977- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    In general, postexercise hypotension is characterized by a sustained increase in systemic vascular conductance that is not completely offset by ongoing increases in cardiac output. These hemodynamic changes are present ...
  • Unconstrained humeral elevation exposure in occupational settings 
    Amasay, Tal, 1968- (University of Oregon, 2008-09)
    There were two primary goals of this work. The first goal was to investigate humeral and scapular kinematics in a simulated workplace environment. The second goal was to validate a triaxial accelerometer (Virtual Corset) ...
