Prehabilitation aims to optimize a patient's functional capacity in preparation for surgery. Esophageal cancer patients have a high incidence of sarcopenia and commonly undergo neoadjuvant therapy, which is associated with loss of muscle mass. This s...

The use of plain radiography in diagnosing osteoarthritis: A systematic review and time trend analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Henry‐Blake, C., Marshall, M., Treadwell, K., Parmar, S., Higgs, J., Edwards, J. J., & Peat, G. (2021). The use of plain radiography in diagnosing osteoarthritis: A systematic review and time trend analysis. Musculoskeletal Care, 21(2), 462-477. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1718

BACKGROUND: Prehabilitation is thought to reduce post-operative respiratory complications by optimising fitness before surgery. This prospective, single-centre study aimed to establish the effect of pre-operative exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness...
