Stoke-related slowing of balance reactions: Understanding mechanisms and developing treatments

Stroke    Canada's leading cause of chronic disability   often induces a condition of significantly reduced speeds of motion. Timely movements are, however, vital to prevent falls, perform daily activities, and be able to return to work. Therefore, our objective is to characterize `stroke-related slowing' and to suggest novel therapies. Balance characteristics during perturbed standing will be […]

Role of Fluid Redistribution in the Pathogenesis of Sleep Apnea

  Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common respiratory disorder in adult population where it increases the mortality risk. The main treatment of OSA is continuous positive airway pressure and although it is effective in most cases, many cannot tolerate it. Therefore, it is important to develop new treatments for sleep apnea. We have proposed […]
