Hospital corridors as lived spaces: The reconfiguration of social boundaries during the early stages of the Covid pandemic (2024)
Journal Article

This article explores the meanings and uses of a hospital corridor through 98 diary entries produced by the staff of an English specialist hospital during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing on Lefebvre's (1991, The production of space... Read More about Hospital corridors as lived spaces: The reconfiguration of social boundaries during the early stages of the Covid pandemic.

Evaluating the use of electromyography in UK and european gait laboratories for the assessment of cerebral palsy and neurological conditions (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction Electromyography (EMG) can estimate the magnitude and timing of muscle activation during walking in those with neurological gait disorders. Despite the potential of EMG use in assessment and clinical...

Sensemaking in the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic: A narrative exploration of polarised morality in an NHS Trust (2022)
Journal Article

This article presents an analysis of personal diaries kept by health-care staff within a specialist NHS Trust in England during the initial 3 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. It adopts a moral sensemaking perspective to explore how NHS employees mobi...

An international survey mapping practice and barriers for upper-limb assessments in movement analysis. (2022)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Upper-limb movement analysis could improve our understanding of function, pathological mechanisms and inform rehabilitation and surgical decision-making. Despite the potential benefits, the use of clinical upper-limb motion analysis is no...

“Dynamic knee valgus” – are we measuring what we think we’re measuring? An evaluation of static and functional knee calibration methods for application in gait and clinical screening tests of the overhead squat and hurdle step. (2019)
Journal Article

Background Dynamic “knee valgus” has been identified as a risk factor for significant knee injuries, however, the limits and sources of error associated with existing 3D motion analysis methods have not been well established. Research question W... Read More about “Dynamic knee valgus” – are we measuring what we think we’re measuring? An evaluation of static and functional knee calibration methods for application in gait and clinical screening tests of the overhead squat and hurdle step..

Transcriptomic and Epigenetic Regulation of Disuse Atrophy and the Return to Activity in Skeletal Muscle (2017)
Journal Article

Physical inactivity and disuse are major contributors to age-related muscle loss. Denervation of skeletal muscle has been previously used as a model with which to investigate muscle atrophy following disuse. Although gene regulatory networks that con...

Abnormal loading and functional deficits are present in both limbs before and after unilateral knee arthroplasty (2017)
Journal Article

Abstract Unilateral knee replacement is often followed by a contralateral replacement in time and the biomechanics of the other knee before and after knee replacement remains poorly understood. The aim of this paper is to distinguish the features of... Read More about Abnormal loading and functional deficits are present in both limbs before and after unilateral knee arthroplasty.

A systems-based investigation into vitamin D and skeletal muscle repair, regeneration, and hypertrophy (2015)
Journal Article

Skeletal muscle is a direct target for vitamin D. Observational studies suggest that low 25[OH]D correlates with functional recovery of skeletal muscle following eccentric contractions in humans and crush injury in rats. However, a definitive associa... Read More about A systems-based investigation into vitamin D and skeletal muscle repair, regeneration, and hypertrophy.

Changes in gait which occur before and during the adolescent growth spurt in children treated by selective dorsal rhizotomy. (2015)
Journal Article

This paper presents long term follow up results from 17 children (6 girls, 11 boys, GMFCS levels II-IV), treated by means of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR). The particular focus is on the effect of the adolescent growth spurt on patients who had pr...
