Spring 2016 Research Update
By: Derek Rutherford, PhD, PT
Otherwise known as evidence corner, this section of the newsletter is intended to inform you of the work completed by the faculty members and their students in the School of Physiotherapy to help, in some small or very large part, the practice of Physiotherapy locally and globally. This time is no different. You will find a list of research accomplishments outlined in this research section. This list is really for your information, letting you know what is happening in the school. If you really want to get to the bottom of the work and also to download free papers, do not pass on the websites of Shaun Boe (www.boelab.com) and Derek Rutherford (https://uniweb.dal.ca/members/168/profile). These online media sources provide not only the papers but also interesting observations in the world of Neuroscience and Musculoskeletal Health.
