OBJECTIVES: To evaluate how physiotherapists are trained in and use clinically orientated gait assessment tools and instrumented gait analysis, and to identify if a need exists for a standardized methodology. DESIGN: Survey. SETTING: UK National Heal... Read More about The status of gait assessment among physiotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Muscle fatigue induced by exercise simulating the work rate of competitive soccer (2003)
Journal Article
Rahnama, N., Reilly, T., Lees, A., & Graham-Smith, P. (2003). Muscle fatigue induced by exercise simulating the work rate of competitive soccer. Journal of Sports Sciences, 21(11), 933-942. https://doi.org/10.1080/0264041031000140428

Fatigue represents a reduction in the capability of muscle to generate force. The aim of the present study was to establish the effects of exercise that simulates the work rate of competitive soccer players on the strength of the knee extensors and k...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (2003)
Journal Article
Jones, I. (2003). Percutaneous coronary intervention. Nursing Times, 99(27), 46-47

Symptoms associated with coronary heart disease include chest pain, dyspnoea, palpitations and collapse (Delahaye, 1999). Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been found effective for relieving some of these symptoms (RITA-2 tria... Read More about Percutaneous coronary intervention.

A systematic review of methods to measure posture (2003)
Journal Article
Tyson, S. (2003). A systematic review of methods to measure posture. Physical Therapy Reviews, 8(1), 45-50. https://doi.org/10.1179/108331903225001390

The restoration of normal posture is an important aspect of stroke physiotherapy, because normal activity is thought essential for effective function. However, there is little evidence to support (or refute) this belief. To test this, suitable measur... Read More about A systematic review of methods to measure posture.

Across the pond : a comparative analysis of social capital formation in the United States and Great Britain (2003)
Journal Article

This study began with the observations of author Tracy Collins, a British citizen then residing in the United States, who saw many differences between Britons and Americans in leisure time, work expectations, and community life. Conversations between... Read More about Across the pond : a comparative analysis of social capital formation in the United States and Great Britain.

A clinical model for the assessment of posture and balance in people with stroke (2003)
Journal Article
and balance in people with stroke. Disability and Rehabilitation, 25(3), 120-126. https://doi.org/10.1080/0963828021000013944

Purpose: The lack of models to define and describe rehabilita- tion processes have often been identified as limiting research and the development of clinical practice. This study describes the development of a clinical model to address a key aspec... Read More about A clinical model for the assessment of posture and balance in people with stroke.

The effect of a slider shoe on hemiplegic gait (2003)
Journal Article
Cross, J., & Tyson, S. (2003). The effect of a slider shoe on hemiplegic gait. Clinical Rehabilitation, 17, 817-822. https://doi.org/10.1191/0269215503cr683oa

Objective: To assess the effect of a slider shoe on the gait speed and energy efficiency of hemiplegic gait. Design: A–B–A single-case design to compare walking with and without the slider shoe. Results were assessed graphically using the 2SD meth... Read More about The effect of a slider shoe on hemiplegic gait.

Transverse rotation and longitudinal translation during prosthetic gait - a literature review (2003)
Journal Article
Twiste, M., & Rithalia, S. (2003). Transverse rotation and longitudinal translation during prosthetic gait - a literature review. Journal of rehabilitation research and development, 40(1), 9-18

Improved technology allows for more accurate gait analysis to increase awareness of nonoptimized prosthetic gait patterns and for the manufacture of sophisticated prosthetic components to improve nonoptimized gait patterns. However, prescriptions... Read More about Transverse rotation and longitudinal translation during prosthetic gait - a literature review.

The effect of dynamic ankle-foot orthoses on the balance and gait of stroke patients (2003)
Thesis
Uutela, A. The effect of dynamic ankle-foot orthoses on the balance and gait of stroke patients. (Thesis). University of Salford

The present research aimed to assess the effects of a novel type of orthosis, the Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis (DAFO), on the balance and gait characteristics of hemiparetic subjects. The DAFO is a low splint with a custom-moulded insole, which is b... Read More about The effect of dynamic ankle-foot orthoses on the balance and gait of stroke patients.
