(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Introduction: Concussion diagnosis is a clinical challenge for healthcare providers. Identification of concussion is presently aided by tools such as the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT3); such tools remain largely ...
Optochemical detection strategies for heavy metals in water
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2020-11)
Groundwater contamination by toxic heavy metals is a serious global issue, therefore, there is an increasing demand for fast, portable and reliable on site monitoring methods for heavy metals in water. Conventional laboratory ...
The effects of dry needling and radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy on the sensitivity of trigger points in the quadriceps and jump performance: A randomised control trial
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)
Background: Trigger points (TrPs) can reduce strength. Thus, may reduce jump height. Dry needling (DN) is an effective treatment for TrPs but can cause post-needling soreness, potentially reducing jump performance. Radial ...
