Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt (2008)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Willan, P., Nester, C., Graham-Smith, P., Herrington, L., & Bowker, P. (2008). Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt. Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 113-117

Pelvic tilt is often quantified using the angle between the horizontal and a line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Although this angle is determined by the balance of muscular and liga... Read More about Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt.

A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin (2008)
Journal Article
Sha, N., Kenney, L., Heller, B., Barker, A., Howard, D., & Moatamedi, M. (2008). A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin. Artificial Organs, 32(8), 639-643. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1525-1594.2008.00615.x

Discomfort experienced during surface functional electrical stimulation (FES) is thought to be partly a result of localised high current density in the skin underneath the stimulating electrode. This paper describes a finite element (FE) model to pre... Read More about A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin.

An exploration of step time variability on smooth and irregular surfaces in older persons with neuropathy (2008)
Journal Article

Background. Increased step time variability, particularly on an irregular surface, has been associated with impaired mobility function and a variety of diseases. However the biomechanical necessity, or advantage, of increasing step time variability h...

United Kingdom (UK) government policy, which has focused on modernising the NHS and making it more responsive to patients’ needs, has, in fact, created significant service demand. The Department of Health (DoH) committed itself to changing and impro...

Radiographers engaged in advanced and consultant roles are advised to base their work within an agreed framework of practice, commonly known as a protocol. A protocol is an agreed and documented system which outlines how certain categories of patient... Read More about Developing protocols for advanced and consultant practice.

Colorectal carcinoma in a patient with prior breast cancer: Is there a causal link? (2008)
Journal Article
