Predictive modelling for late rectal and urinary toxicities after prostate radiotherapy using planned and delivered dose. (2022)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) parameters derived from traditional 3D plans may not be ideal in defining toxicity outcomes for modern radiotherapy techniques. This study aimed to derive parameters of the Lyman-K... Read More about Predictive modelling for late rectal and urinary toxicities after prostate radiotherapy using planned and delivered dose..
Predictors of self-management in patients with chronic low back pain: a longitudinal study. (2022)
Journal Article
Background: Self-management (SM) is a key recommended strategy for managing chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, SM programmes generate small to moderate benefits for reducing pain and disability in patients with CLBP. The benefits of the SM progra...

Psychological factors associated with reporting side effects following COVID-19 vaccination: a prospective cohort study (CoVAccS – wave 3) (2022)
Journal Article
Objective: To investigate symptom reporting following the first and second COVID-19 vaccine doses, attribution of symptoms to the vaccine, and factors associated with symptom reporting. Methods: Prospective cohort study (T1: 13-15 January 2021, T2:...

Interventions for perceptual disorders following stroke. (2022)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Perception is the ability to understand information from our senses. It allows us to experience and meaningfully interact with our environment. A stroke may impair perception in up to 70% of stroke survivors, leading to distress, increase... Read More about Interventions for perceptual disorders following stroke..
Imaging Breast Microcalcifications Using Dark-Field Signal in Propagation-Based Phase-Contrast Tomography. (2022)
Journal Article
Breast microcalcifications are an important primary radiological indicator of breast cancer. However, microcalcification classification and diagnosis may be still challenging for radiologists due to limitations of the standard 2D mammography techniqu...

Nursing Mothers' Experiences of Musculoskeletal Pain Attributed to Poor Posture During Breastfeeding: A Mixed Methods Study (2022)
Journal Article
Background: Breastfeeding has various benefits for infants and mothers. However, if not performed in the correct posture, prolonged breastfeeding could cause musculoskeletal-related symptoms such as shoulder, neck, and upper back pain. In Jordan, nur...

Exercise Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: Is a Little Encouragement Enough? (2022)
Journal Article
Stroke survivors’ views on their priorities for upper-limb recovery and the availability of therapy services after stroke: a longitudinal, phenomenological study (2022)
Journal Article
Purpose Forty percent of stroke survivors have a persistent lack of function in the upper limb, causing significant disability. Most personal-care tasks and meaningful activities require bi-manual function of both upper limbs. However, lower-limb mo...

How do we determine successful non-invasive ventilation (NIV) success in children: Carer and Clinician opinion (2022)
Journal Article
Background: There is no consensus on how to identify successful NIV initiation in children. Parent collaboration is important in paediatric care therefore identifying measures of success for both clinicians and parents is useful when planning care....

Inter and intra-examiner reliability of musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning of Anterior Talofibular Ligament and ankle muscles (2022)
Journal Article
Purpose Although the function of subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI) has been examined, structural analysis by ultrasound scanning of the structures surrounding the ankle is limited. Before such structural comparisons between injured and u...

Typical median effective radiation doses using an anthropomorphic bone fracture phantom for initial radiographic skeletal surveys in the investigation of suspected physical abuse. (2022)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: A series of 31 radiographs is recommended by the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) when investigating suspected physical abuse (SPA). OBJECTIVE: To determine the radiation dose delivered for skeletal surveys performed for SPA in Victori...

Validation of the RunScribe inertial measurement unit for walking gait measurement. (2022)
Journal Article
INTRODUCTION: The use of portable gait measurement systems in research is appealing to collect real-world data at low-cost, low participant burden, and without requirement for dedicated lab space. Most commercially available inertial measurement unit... Read More about Validation of the RunScribe inertial measurement unit for walking gait measurement..
Effectiveness of Somatosensory Stimulation for the Lower Limb and Foot to Improve Balance and Gait after Stroke: A Systematic Review (2022)
Journal Article
This systematic review’s purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of lower-limb and foot somatosensory stimulation to improve balance and gait post-stroke. PRISMA reporting guidelines were followed. Included studies: randomized controlled trials (RC...

Human ankle joint movements during walking are probably not determined by talar morphology. (2022)
Journal Article
Knowledge about the orientation of a representative ankle joint axis is limited to studies of tarsal morphology and of quasistatic movements. The aim of our study was therefore to determine the development of the axis orientation during walking. Intr...
