Mild Intermittent Hypoxia Acutely Exacerbates Autonomic Dysreflexia, but Improves Autonomic Function after Eight Days
To investigate the acute effect of Mild Intermittent Hypoxia (MIH) on autonomic, baroreceptor, and microvascular function in an individual with motor incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and determine if the acute effects change following 8 days of MIH.

Differentiation of Normal Aging Related Changes in Employment, Health, Participation, and Quality-of-life from Those with Reduced Length of Survival after Spinal Cord Injury
Previous research has documented how employment, health, participation, and quality-of-life (QOL) may change over time after spinal cord injury (SCI), but has not differentiated changes that relate to normal aging from those that may be red flags for risk of diminished survival. Our purpose was to identify five-year changes in employment, health, participation, and QOL and then compare the amount, direction, and significance of changes between those surviving to follow-up and those deceased by follow-up.

Myoelectric Arm Orthosis Use at Home in Chronic Stroke Improves DASH Scores: A Retrospective Study
To retrospectively evaluate the outcomes and clinical benefits provided by the MyoPro ® arm orthosis in individuals with upper limb impairment after stroke. We hypothesized that the change in score on The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire would be improved after using the MyoPro.

Myoelectric Orthosis Assists Functional Activities in Individuals with Upper Limb Impairment Post-Stroke: 3-Month Home Outcomes
To evaluate the gains in completing functional tasks with and without a myoelectric arm orthosis in individuals post-stroke. We hypothesized that participants would exhibit increased ability to perform functional tasks over time with orthosis use and when comparing with the orthosis to without.

Feasibility of an In-shoe Sensor to Deliver Propulsion Biofeedback during Gait
Post-stroke hemiparesis and diabetic peripheral neuropathy commonly result in reduced propulsion during gait, measured as anterior ground reaction force (AGRF). Reduced propulsion results in decreased step length and gait speed. The loadsol ® is an in-shoe sensor that can provide clinical gait analysis and gait biofeedback. Our objective is to examine the feasibility of forefoot loadsol® biofeedback to increase AGRF in able-bodied participants. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Syndemic Theory Application: Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Structural Violence
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are rapidly advancing epidemics without adequate biopsychosocial and/or behavioral health interventions to slow or reverse the trend. The highest burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes occurs among people exposed to structural violence, including people living in poverty and Black, Indigenous, or other People of Color (BIPOC). The aims of the current theory-based literature review are to (1) describe clustering of obesity and type 2 diabetes at the population level, (2) demonstrate synergistic interactions between obesity and type 2 diabetes at the individual level, and (3) apply syndemics theory...
