Effect of altered physical loading on bone and muscle in the forearmN J MacIntyre
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation, ON, Canada
Can J Physiol Pharmacol 79:1015-22. 2001..Given that radial bone mass tended to decrease while bone density was unchanged, we conclude that the effect of casting was modulated by changes in gross bone morphology rather than in material characteristics...
In vivo measurement of apparent trabecular bone structure of the radius in women with low bone density discriminates patients with recent wrist fracture from those without fractureNorma J MacIntyre
Human Mobility Research Centre, Queen s University, Kingston General Hospital, Ontario, Canada
J Clin Densitom 6:35-43. 2003..2-24.3). Thus, estimation of in vivo trabecular bone porosity by measuring the average diameter of the pQCT-imaged marrow spaces in the ultradistal radius identifies individuals with low bone mass most at risk for osteoporotic fracture...
Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on the cartilage repair in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis: a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot studyAdalberto Loyola-Sanchez
School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Arch Phys Med Rehabil 93:35-42. 2012..To determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (US) therapy on cartilage repair in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA)...
Relationship of intermuscular fat volume in the thigh with knee extensor strength and physical performance in women at risk of or with knee osteoarthritisMonica R Maly
Institute for Applied Health Sciences, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 65:44-52. 2013..To determine the extent to which thigh intermuscular fat (IMF) and quadriceps muscle (QM) volumes explained variance in knee extensor strength and physical performance in women with radiographic knee osteoarthritis (ROA) and without...
Longitudinal changes in intermuscular fat volume and quadriceps muscle volume in the thighs of women with knee osteoarthritisKaren A Beattie
McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 64:22-9. 2012....
Comparison of pQCT-based measures of radial bone geometry and apparent trabecular bone structure using manufacturer and in-house-developed algorithmsKristina M Calder
School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
J Clin Densitom 13:433-40. 2010..Statistically, tolerance for repositioning around the 4% site of the radial bone is least for measures of bone area and greatest for BD_trab. On repeated measures, a proximal shift of 0.5mm will not influence the results...
Intrarater reliability of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-based measures of vertebral height in postmenopausal womenAlison M Bonnyman
School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
J Clin Densitom 15:405-12. 2012..70 (50, 0.90). Intrarater reliability was acceptable for VH measures from T10 to L4. Reliability in grading severity of deformity was improved by classifying as <25% deformity (nonfracture) and as >25% deformity (fracture)...
Screening for signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis by family physicians and nurse practitioners using the Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine musculoskeletal examinationKaren A Beattie
McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 64:1923-7. 2012..To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine (GALS) examination to screen for signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when used by family physicians and nurse practitioners...
The Safe Functional Motion test is reliable for assessment of functional movements in individuals at risk for osteoporotic fractureNorma J MacIntyre
School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, IAHS Room 403, 1400 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, L8S 1C7, Canada
Clin Rheumatol 29:143-50. 2010..69, 0.76, and 0.83 for TUG, BERG, and CBMS, respectively). SFM-SF provides reliable measures of functional movements in community-dwelling individuals at risk for osteoporotic fracture...
Muscle activation during hand dexterity tasks in women with hand osteoarthritis and control subjectsKristina M Calder
MacHANd Laboratory, School of Rehabilitation Science, Institute of Applied Health Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
J Hand Ther 24:207-14; quiz 215. 2011..Descriptive cross-sectional study...
Construct validity of the AIMS-2 upper limb function scales as a measure of disability in individuals with osteoarthritis of the handNorma J MacIntyre
School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Clin Rheumatol 28:573-8. 2009..01). Thus, convergent construct validity of the Hand and Finger Function scale and known-group validity of the Arm Function scale were shown. These AIMS-2 scales are valid and distinct measures of disability in individuals with hand OA...
