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
McFall, J., Stewart, C., Kidgell, V., Postans, N., Jarvis, S., Freeman, R., & Roberts, A. (2015). Changes in gait which occur before and during the adolescent growth spurt in children treated by selective dorsal rhizotomy.

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...

Gait analysis to guide a selective dorsal rhizotomy program (2015)
Journal Article
Roberts, A., Stewart, C., & Freeman, R. (2015). Gait analysis to guide a selective dorsal rhizotomy program. Gait and Posture, 42(1), 16-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2015.04.004

Selective dorsal rhizotomy is a valuable surgical option to manage spasticity in children with bilateral cerebral palsy with the objective of improving function. Choosing the correct patient for rhizotomy requires considerable effort and a comprehens... Read More about Gait analysis to guide a selective dorsal rhizotomy program.
