Using the UK standards for public involvement to evaluate the public involvement sections of annual reports from NIHR managed research centres (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Within the United Kingdom (UK), the National Institute for Health and Care Research is the largest funder of health and social care research, and additionally funds research centres that support the development and delivery of research. E... Read More about Using the UK standards for public involvement to evaluate the public involvement sections of annual reports from NIHR managed research centres.

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...

The mutual benefits of patient and public involvement in research: an example from a feasibility study (MoTaStim-Foot) (2021)
Journal Article

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research has increased steadily over the last two decades and is now both expected and appropriately resourced by many funding bodies, including the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). However, PPI i... Read More about The mutual benefits of patient and public involvement in research: an example from a feasibility study (MoTaStim-Foot).

Facilitating personal development for public involvement in healthcare education and research: a co-produced pilot study in one UK Higher Education Institute (2020)
Journal Article

Background Public involvement in the education of students enrolled on higher education programmes has gained impetus. For students enrolled on professional health-care programmes and health-related modules in the UK, there is also a requirement by...

The reliability of the MoTaStim-Foot trial algorithm for testing touch pressure sensory threshold on the plantar surface of the foot using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Introduction: Approximately 60% of stroke survivors experience sensory impairment, which may have an impact on functional activity. The MoTaStim-Foot trial investigated the feasibility of delivering somatosensory interventions to the foot to regain b...

MoTaStim-Foot, a Randomized, Single-Blinded, Mixed-Methods, Feasibility Study Exploring Sensory Stimulation of the Foot and Ankle Early Poststroke (2018)
Presentation / Conference

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...
