Wearable Hip Protectors: Validation of a Novel Test System and Evaluation Utilizing Pressure Sensing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-14)Hip fractures are strongly associated with sideway falls to the hip, poor response time, lack of soft tissue energy absorption, and subpar proximal femur strength (Cummings and Nevitt, 2001). Hip protectors are a common ... -
Wearable Sensor Technology and Machine Learning for Prediction of Oxygen Uptake and Extraction of Kinetics during Moderate and Heavy Intensity Exercise
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-19)The speed at which pulmonary oxygen uptake (V̇O2p) responds to a change in energetic demand provides information about an individual’s health and functional capabilities. Advances in wearable sensor technology and machine ... -
Wearable Technology and the Measurement of Physical Activity Intensity and Volume
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)Physical activity has been linked to numerous health outcomes including a decreased risk of chronic disease and an increased quality of life; it is therefore an important component of rehabilitative and preventative programs ... -
Whole blood long-chain n-3 fatty acids as a measure of fish oil compliance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) may prevent chemotherapy-induced hyperlipidemia in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, compliance could be a problem and intake-biomarker correlations may be ...
