A critical analysis of IQ studies of adopted children (2006)
Journal Article
Richardson, K., & Norgate, S. (2006). A critical analysis of IQ studies of adopted children. Human Development, 49(6), 319-335. https://doi.org/10.1159/000096531

The pattern of parent-child correlations in adoption studies has long been interpreted to suggest substantial additive genetic variance underlying variance in IQ. The studies have frequently been criticized on methodological grounds, but those critic... Read More about A critical analysis of IQ studies of adopted children.

The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI (2006)
Journal Article
Herrington, L. (2006). The effect of corrective taping of the patella on patella position as defined by MRI. Research in Sports Medicine, 14, 215-223. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620600854785

Taping of the patella is a common treatment for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and has been shown to reduce pain. The reason for this affect is unknown; it has been proposed that taping alters patella orientation. Magnetic resonance imaging (...

Current provision of rheumatology education for undergraduate nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy students in the UK (2006)
Journal Article
Almeida, C., Clarke, B., O'Brien, A., Hammond, A., Ryan, S., Kay, L., & Hewlett, S. (2006). Current provision of rheumatology education for undergraduate nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy students in the UK. Rheumatology, 45(7), 868-873. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kel008

Objectives. Rheumatological conditions are common and all health professionals (HPs) therefore need sufficient knowledge and skills to manage patients safely and effectively. The aim of this study was to examine current undergraduate education in...

Static orthoses in the prevention of hand dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis: a review of the literature (2006)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Hammond, A., Burridge, J., & Cooper, C. (2006). Static orthoses in the prevention of hand dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis: a review of the literature. Musculoskeletal Care, 3(2), 85. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.29

Static orthoses are recommended for individuals who have early rheumatoid arthritis (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, 2002; College of Occupational Therapists, 2003). These orthoses aim to rest and immobilize weakened joint structures and... Read More about Static orthoses in the prevention of hand dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis: a review of the literature.

Does transverse plane mechanical compliance affect amputee gait and in-socket forces? (2006)
Journal Article
Twiste, M., Nester, C., & Kenney, L. (2006). Does transverse plane mechanical compliance affect amputee gait and in-socket forces?. Journal of Biomechanics, 39(S1), 171

Transverse plane rotation in an amputee's residual-limb appears to be less than in non-amputees [1,2]. However, it remains unclear firstly, to what extent this is driven by the properties of the prosthesis, and secondly, whether this has detriment...

Kinematics of the lower leg and foot during gait in subjects with pathological plantar hyperkeratosis (2006)
Thesis
Findlow, A. Kinematics of the lower leg and foot during gait in subjects with pathological plantar hyperkeratosis. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This study seeks to consider the functional characteristics of a five segment lower leg and foot model during gait, using the application of elementary kinematics to measure, analyse and describe lower leg and foot motion and compare these paramete...
