Exploring visuomotor priming following biological and non-biological stimuli (2010)
Journal Article
Gowen, E., Bradshaw, C., Galpin, A., & Lawrence, A. (2010). Exploring visuomotor priming following biological and non-biological stimuli. Brain and Cognition, 74(3), 288-297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2010.08.010

Observation of human actions influences the observer’s own motor system, termed visuomotor priming, and is believed to be caused by automatic activation of mirror neurons. Evidence suggests that priming effects are larger for biological (human) as op... Read More about Exploring visuomotor priming following biological and non-biological stimuli.

Early observations of the effects of lateral wedge orthoses on lower limb muscle length and potential for exacerbating spasticity (2010)
Journal Article
spasticity. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34(3), 319-326. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093646.2010.504976

Lateral wedge orthoses are often prescribed to correct varus deformity after stroke. Spasticity is implicated in varus deformity and is caused by velocity-related muscle length changes, so a lateral wedge may affect spasticity by manipulating foot an...

The influence of objective measurement tools on communication and clinical decision making in neurological rehabilitation (2010)
Journal Article
Tyson, S., Greenhalgh, J., Long, A., & Flynn, R. (2010). The influence of objective measurement tools on communication and clinical decision making in neurological rehabilitation. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 17(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2753.2010.01555.x

Rationale: routine collection of outcome measures is advocated to improve quality of care. However, there has been scant investigation of how measurement tools are used in clinical practice and what impact they may have. This paper compares two neuro...

Patellar tendon properties with fluctuating menstrual cycle hormones (2010)
Journal Article

Debate continues over whether skeletal muscle performance and injury risk vary over the course of the menstrual cycle. Alterations in tendon properties may play a role in the potential fluctuations of both of these variables. The aim of the current s...

Does Parkinson’s disease affect judgement about another person’s action? (2010)
Journal Article
person’s action?. Experimental Brain Research, 204(3), 327-331. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1976-1

The observer’s motor system has been shown to be involved in observing the actions of another person. Recent findings suggest that people with Parkinson’s disease do not show the same motor facilitatory effects when observing the actions of another p...
