The potential for compression garments to influence upper limb function in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (2023)
Thesis
Alshehab, M. A. H. A. M. (2023). The potential for compression garments to influence upper limb function in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. (Thesis). Keele University

Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term that describes a group of people with various motor, sensory and mental dysfunctions caused by permanent damage to the developing brain. Depending on the location and size of the brain damage, signs and symptom...

Aerobic exercise to improve cardiorespiratory function in Parkinson's (2021)
Thesis
Aburub, A. (2021). Aerobic exercise to improve cardiorespiratory function in Parkinson's. (Thesis). Keele University

Introduction Cardiopulmonary impairments are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in advanced stages of Parkinson’s. Although there is some evidence of pulmonary impairments in the earlier stages, symptoms remain asymptomatic until advanced...

Self-management support for people with Multiple Sclerosis (2020)
Thesis
Al Abbad, B. K. N. (2020). Self-management support for people with Multiple Sclerosis. (Thesis). Keele University

Background Self-management programmes help people with long term conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), manage symptoms, and contain utilization of health-care resources. However, the optimum level and type of support for people with MS (PwMS... Read More about Self-management support for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Somatosensory stimulation to improve lower-limb recovery after stroke (2020)
Thesis
Aries, A. M. (2020). Somatosensory stimulation to improve lower-limb recovery after stroke. (Thesis). Keele University

Introduction Increasing lower-limb sensation could improve walking post-stroke but evidence for this is limited. This thesis reports: 1) Review of published literature on somatosensory stimulation of the foot to enhance lower-limb function post-st... Read More about Somatosensory stimulation to improve lower-limb recovery after stroke.

The development of normative values of LCI in healthy school-children using the SF6 (Innocor) Multiple Breath Washout technique (2020)
Thesis
Alrumuh, A. K. (2020). The development of normative values of LCI in healthy school-children using the SF6 (Innocor) Multiple Breath Washout technique. (Thesis). Keele University

Background Some respiratory diseases are believed to start early in life, yet manifest later as lung damage progresses. Early pathological changes are usually missed on traditional methods of lung function assessment. Therefore, multiple breath was...

A pilot study to identify serum biomarkers for post-stroke spasticity and related skeletal muscle changes (2019)
Thesis
Wasif, A. M. (2019). A pilot study to identify serum biomarkers for post-stroke spasticity and related skeletal muscle changes. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414326

Spasticity is a common sensory-motor dysfunction observed following a stroke, and it is one of the signs indicating damage to the upper motor neurone system at the spinal or cerebral level. Stroke survivors often experience Some resistance to passive... Read More about A pilot study to identify serum biomarkers for post-stroke spasticity and related skeletal muscle changes.

The early use of botulinum toxin in post stroke spasticity: developing a new approach to contracture management
Thesis
Lindsay, C. (2018). The early use of botulinum toxin in post stroke spasticity: developing a new approach to contracture management

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...
