Thesis
Lindsay, C. The early use of botulinum toxin in post stroke spasticity: developing a new approach to contracture management. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/411458

Introduction
Patients surviving a severe stroke are at risk of developing contractures. Evidence suggests that spasticity may be a cause of contractures, particularly in patients who have not recovered functional movement. The relationship and the t...

Functional strength training versus movement performance therapy for upper limb motor recovery early after stroke: a RCT (2018)
Report
Pomeroy, V. M., Hunter, S. M., Johansen-Berg, H., Ward, N. S., Kennedy, N., Chandler, E., Weir, C. J., Rothwell, J., Wing, A., Grey, M., Barton, G., & Leavey, N. (2018). Functional strength training versus movement performance therapy for upper limb motor recovery early after stroke: a RCT. NIHR. EME programme as project number 10/60/30

Background
Not all stroke survivors respond to the same form of physical therapy in the same way early after stroke. The response is variable and a detailed understanding of the interaction between specific physical therapies and neural structure an...

Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori? (2018)
Journal Article
Sim, J., Saunders, B., Waterfield, J., & Kingstone, T. (2018). Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori?. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 5, https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2018.1454643

There has been considerable recent interest in methods of determining sample size for qualitative research a priori, rather than through an adaptive approach such as saturation. Extending previous literature in this area, we identify four distinct ap... Read More about Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori?.

(2018). Effective lifetime radiation risk for a number of national mammography screening programmes. Radiography, 240 - 246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2018.02.001

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The performance of mammography screening programmes is focussed mainly on breast cancer detection rates. However, when the benefits and risks of mammography are considered, the risk of radiation-induced cancer is calculated fo...
