Dziedzic, K., Hill, S., Nicholls, E., Hammond, A., Myers, H., Whitehurst, T., …Hay, E. (2011). Self management, joint protection and exercises in hand osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial with cost effectiveness analyses. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 12(1), 156. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-12-156

Background: There is limited evidence for the clinical and cost effectiveness of occupational therapy (OT) approaches in the management of hand osteoarthritis (OA). Joint protection and hand exercises have been proposed by European guidelines, howe...

Assessment of the degree of pelvic tilt within a normal asymptomatic population (2011)
Journal Article
Herrington, L. (2011). Assessment of the degree of pelvic tilt within a normal asymptomatic population. Manual Therapy, 16(6), 646-648. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.math.2011.04.006

In clinical practice the degree of pelvictilt is commonly assessed because of its reported relationship to pelvic, spinal and lower limb pathologies. There is little normative data presented within the literature establishing typical findings within...

Objectives To investigate the effect of group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for fatigue self-management, compared with groups receiving fatigue information alone, on fatigue impact among people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Two-a... Read More about Self-management of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis: a randomised controlled trial of group cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Feasibility study for a controllable orthotic knee joint (2011)
Journal Article

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing an orthotic knee joint that could lock and unlock during ambulation for eventual use in a reciprocating gait orthosis (RGO) for severely disabled patients. Method. T... Read More about Feasibility study for a controllable orthotic knee joint.

Design of a manual device to measure ankle joint stiffness and range of motion (2011)
Journal Article

Background and Aim: Ankle joint stiffness and its range of motion (ROM) are commonly assessed to determine the appropriate mechanical characteristics required in an effective ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) prescription. The aim of this technical note is t... Read More about Design of a manual device to measure ankle joint stiffness and range of motion.

Techniques to measure rigidity of ankle-foot orthosis: a review (2011)
Journal Article

Shoulder injuries in football are less common than lower limb injuries, but are often more serious than many other injuries and result in a longer time off play. No study has looked at the types of injuries and their interventions in professional foo...
