Journal Article
Pearson, S., Harridge, S., Grieve, D., Donald, W., Young, A., & Woledge, R. (2001). A variable inertial system for measuring the contractile properties of human muscle. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 33(12), 2072-2076. https://doi.org/10.1097/00005768-200112000-00015

Purpose: A flywheel system of variable inertia is described for inferring the mechanical properties of human muscle during a single explosive movement. Methods: The system consists of a lightweight aluminum disk mounted on a shaft onto which a dri...

One-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme for people with rheumatoid arthritis (2001)
Journal Article
Hammond, A. (2001). One-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatology, 40(9), 1044. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/40.9.1044

Objective. Joint protection aims to reduce pain and local inflammation, preserve the integrity of joint structures and improve function. There is evidence that it can improve pain and function in the short term, but the long‐term effects are uncertai...
