BACKGROUND: The impracticalities and comparative expense of carrying out a clinical assessment is an obstacle in many large epidemiological studies. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a series of electronic self-reported line drawi...

Sixty MS patien... Read More about The association between physical activity and sleep characteristics in people with multiple sclerosis.

Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract) (2016)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, & Roffe. (2016). Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract). European Respiratory Journal, https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.congress-2016.PA4156

Background
The extent of respiratory compromise following a stroke depends on any pre-existing respiratory illness and the aetiology, location and extent of the lesion. Acquired respiratory infection in subsequent days may alter respiratory function...

A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract) (2015)
Journal Article
Purton, J., Hunter, S., & Sim, J. (2015). A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract). International Journal of Stroke, 21 -21. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijs.12634_5

Introduction: People’s experiences and perceptions of stroke have been researched quite
extensively, in particular the effect of stroke on the self and self-concept, but how much upper limb
dysfunction contributes to this is not known. This study e... Read More about A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract).

Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography

Purpose: To investigate the range of collimation errors in x-ray rooms and to calculate their possible effects on the radiation dose for anteroposterior pelvic examinations. Methods: A collimator test tool was suspended at 3 heights (14, 21, and 28 c... Read More about Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography.
