Presentation / Conference
Aries, A. M., Pomeroy, V. M., Sim, J., Read, S., & Hunter, S. M. (2018, November). MoTaStim-Foot, a Randomized, Single-Blinded, Mixed-Methods, Feasibility Study Exploring Sensory Stimulation of the Foot and Ankle Early Poststroke. Presented at 2018 American Society of Neurorehabilitation Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA. United States

Introduction: It is not known whether increasing somatosensation of the foot could improve walking recovery after stroke. This study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of conducting a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine w...

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., …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...

A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract) (2015)
Journal Article

Introduction: People’s experiences and perceptions of stroke have been researched quite
extensively, in particular the effect of stroke on the self and self-concept, but how much upper limb
dysfunction contributes to this is not known. This study e... Read More about A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract).
