Quantifying Morphological Changes in Middle Trapezius With Ultrasonography and Histogram Matching for Participants With and Without Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (2024)
Journal Article
Philp, F., Meilak, E., Seyres, M., Willis, T., Winn, N., & Pandyan, A. (2024). Quantifying Morphological Changes in Middle Trapezius With Ultrasonography and Histogram Matching for Participants With and Without Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy. Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, https://doi.org/10.1177/87564793241293782

Objective: Echogenicity is a biomarker in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Currently, it is not possible to compare echogenicity values, derived using quantified muscle sonography capture, based on different equipment instrumentation se...

Interventions for people with perceptual disorders after stroke: the PIONEER scoping review, Cochrane systematic review and priority setting project (2024)
Journal Article
Hazelton, C., Todhunter-Brown, A., Campbell, P., Thomson, K., Nicolson, D. J., McGill, K., …Brady, M. C. (2024). Interventions for people with perceptual disorders after stroke: the PIONEER scoping review, Cochrane systematic review and priority setting project. Health Technology Assessment, 28(69), 1-141. https://doi.org/10.3310/WGJT3471

Stroke often affects recognition and interpretation of information from our senses, resulting in perceptual disorders. Evidence to inform treatment is unclear. To determine the breadth and effectiveness of interventions for stroke-related perceptual...

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...

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 (2018)
Thesis
Lindsay, C. (2018). The early use of botulinum toxin in post stroke spasticity: developing a new approach to contracture management. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/411458

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...
