Les problèmes de douleur chronique reliés à des troubles musculosquelettiques affectent une grande partie de la population et les coûts directs (visite médicale, traitements, médicaments) et indirects (absentéisme au travail, productivité réduite) sur le système de santé sont extrêmement élevés. Pour améliorer le diagnostic, la planification chirurgicale et le suivi des pathologies de la colonne […]

This research project deals with the question of using multimedia computer applications for training Nursing students or professionals to identify heart and lung sounds as part of an overall health assessment session. The new design for this Nursing training application will support a wide array of mobile devices, by using novel technologies such as HTML5, […]

Myofascial pain syndrome can lead to chronic pain. With fatigue or trauma, muscle spindle reflexes activate spinal motoneurones causing them to fire constantly leading to spasm. These reflex signals can also be transmitted to the brain as well. It could be hypothesized that if massage therapy (roller massager included) could regulate cortical and spinal motoneurone […]

This project will enable customers to be able to track their scheduled jobs with technicians on their mobile devices. The work will see the development of an application that can facilitate customers to view the locations of technicians on a map and scheduled appointments with them. The technicians can set their status as “available” and […]

L’un des plus grands défis pour le système de soins de santé québécois est l’augmentation des coûts et du fardeau social associés aux maladies chroniques. Parmi celles-ci, les maux de dos sont responsables de la majeure partie des coûts engendrés par les conditions qui touchent le système musculosquelettique. Nombreux sont les patients qui consultent en […]

Ce projet est une phase II d’un précédent stage financé par Mitacs en 2021. Elle vise à ancrer davantage la politique dans le territoire en établissant une démarche d’évaluation de son impact social dans le milieu. Toujours à partir d’une approche de co-construction, nous souhaitons dans cette phase II : 1) Établir un plan d’action […]

This study aims to assess the improvement in muscle strength in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) after undergoing hip arthroscopy. FAI can cause severe hip pain and functional limitations, potentially leading to early osteoarthritis. While arthroscopic treatment often have good results, dissatisfaction rates can be as high as 30%. This research investigates the potential benefits […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This research project aims to develop a ready-to-use model for predicting detailed wind patterns at wind farms to help the industry better plan turbine placements and forecast energy output. Wind speed data is usually available at a large, low-detail scale, which makes it hard to predict specific site conditions accurately. Generating high-resolution wind data using […]

Près de 98 % de l’énergie électrique québécoise provient de l’hydro-électricité, une source d’énergie propre et renouvelable. Il apparaît donc important d’utiliser au mieux cette énergie. Dans cette optique, le Québec devrait favoriser l’utilisation de pompes à chaleur qui possèdent des performances supérieures à celles des plinthes électriques. Leurs performances sont toutefois affectées à mesure […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different […]

Many more people living with dementia are and will inhabit public built and social environments, and adaptations of existing spaces, programs, services and polices are required to foster equitable inclusion of people with dementia. Yet, how dementia is situated within the scope of municipal mandates and responsibilities to meet community needs is unclear. This research […]
