Lower Extremity Strength and Mechanics During Jumping in Women With Patellofemoral Pain
(2009)
Context: Lower extremity (LE) weakness might be associated with altered mechanics during weight bearing in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Objective: To analyze LE strength, mechanics, and the association ...
Effects of Age, Gender, Bolus Volume, and Trial on Swallowing Apnea Duration and Swallow/Respiratory Phase Relationships of Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)
The effects of age, gender, bolus volume, and trial on swallowing apnea duration (SAD) and swallow/respiratory phase relationships were examined. Sixty adults, comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age ...
Effect of Age, Gender, and Repeated Measures on Intraoral Air Pressure in Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)
The effect of age, gender, and repeated measures on intraoral air pressure (P0) was examined. Sixty adults comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age groups (i.e., 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 83 years) ...
Mixture modeling with applications in schizophrenia research
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)
Finite mixture modeling, together with the EM algorithm, have been widely used in clustering analysis. Under such methods, the unknown group membership is usually treated as missing data. When the "complete data" ...
Modeling survival in colon cancer: a methodological review
(East Carolina University, 2007-02-12)
The Cox proportional hazards model is the most widely used model for survival analysis because of its simplicity. The fundamental assumption in this model is the proportionality of the hazard function. When this condition ...
Methods and devices for delivering exogenously generated speech signals to enhance fluency in persons who stutter
(East Carolina University, 2004-06-22)
Methods and devices generate an exogenous natural second speech signal as an auditory stimulus to a user to enhance the fluency of persons who stutter. The natural speech signal is independent of the contemporaneous speech ...
Methods and devices for enhancing fluency in persons who stutter employing visual speech gestures
(East Carolina University, 2006-04-18)
Methods, devices, and computer program products display visual choral speech to a patient who stutters or has a speech impediment or impairment as a visual stimulus for the patient to enhance the fluency of the patient. ...
Investigations Of The Impact Of Altered Auditory Feedback In-The-Ear Devices On The Speech Of People Who Stutter: Initial Fitting And Four-Month Follow-Up
(East Carolina University, 2004)
Background: Self-contained ear-level devices delivering altered auditory feedback (AAF) for the application with those who stutter were only recently developed (Stuart et al. 2003). Aim: This paper examines the first ...
Comparison Of The Mismatch Negativity and A Differential Waveform Response
(East Carolina University, 2005)
A mismatch negativity response (MMN) and a new differential waveform were derived in an effort to evaluate a neural refractory or recovery effect in adult listeners. The MMN was elicited using oddball test runs in which ...
