Efficacy of ankle foot orthoses types on walking in children with cerebral palsy : a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Aboutorabi, A., Arazpour, M., Bani Ismail, M., Saeedi, H., & Head, J. (2017). Efficacy of ankle foot orthoses types on walking in children with cerebral palsy : a systematic review. Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 60(6), 393-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rehab.2017.05.004

Background: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are orthotic devices that can be used to normalize the walking pattern of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). One of the aims of orthotic management is to produce a more normal gait pattern by positioning joints...

Do third-year mental health nursing students feel prepared to assess physical health? (2017)
Journal Article
Rylance, R., Daye, S., Chiocci, A., Jones, A., Jones, G., Harper, A., …Caldwell, K. (2017). Do third-year mental health nursing students feel prepared to assess physical health?. Mental Health Practice, 20(10), 26-30. https://doi.org/10.7748/mhp.2017.e1147

Background The life expectancy for people with mental health issues is significantly lower than the general population, however, their physical health needs are often unrecognised by health professionals. Aim To investigate whether third-year ment... Read More about Do third-year mental health nursing students feel prepared to assess physical health?.

Assistive technologies to address capabilities of people with dementia : from research to practice (2017)
Journal Article
Kenigsberg, P., Aquino, J., Bérard, A., Brémond, F., Charras, K., Dening, T., …Manera, V. (2017). Assistive technologies to address capabilities of people with dementia : from research to practice. Dementia, 18(4), 1568-1595. https://doi.org/10.1177/1471301217714093

Assistive technologies (AT) became pervasive and virtually present in all our life domains. They can be either an enabler or an obstacle leading to social exclusion. The Fondation Médéric Alzheimer gathered international experts of dementia care, wit...

Service user involvement in the co-production of a mental health nursing metric : the therapeutic engagement questionnaire (2017)
Journal Article
Chambers, M., McAndrew, S., Nolan, F., Thomas, B., & Kantaris, X. (2017). Service user involvement in the co-production of a mental health nursing metric : the therapeutic engagement questionnaire. Health Expectations, 20(5), 871-877. https://doi.org/10.1111/HEX12526

Service users’ involvement in mental health service research is increasingly acknowledged as important, yet, whilst involving users of mental health services as research participants is commonplace, seeking out their experience and indeed their “exp...

The choice of hip regression equations has small effect on kinematic and kinetic outputs of the conventional gait model (2017)
Journal Article
Leboeuf, F., Sangeux, M., & Baker, R. (2017). The choice of hip regression equations has small effect on kinematic and kinetic outputs of the conventional gait model. Gait & Posture, 57(Sup_1), 161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.345

The hip joint centre (HJC) regression equations used by the Conventional Gait Model (CGM) has been shown to provide inadequate results. The location of the HJC has benefited from a large research effort in recent years, and new regression equations...

An open source implementation of the Conventional Gait Model in Python (2017)
Journal Article
Leboeuf, F., Sangeux, M., & Baker, R. (2017). An open source implementation of the Conventional Gait Model in Python. Gait & Posture, 57(Sup_1), 236. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.391

The Conventional Gait Model CGM has been a standard in clinical gait analysis since the 1990s. Well-known by its commercialisation as Plug-in Gait (PiG, Vicon, Oxford, UK), it is simple and widely understood facilitating discussion between biomech...

Patellar tendon in vivo regional strain with varying knee angle (2017)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Mohammed, A., & Hussain, S. (2017). Patellar tendon in vivo regional strain with varying knee angle. Journal of Biomechanics, 61, 45-50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.06.038

Purpose: Descriptive data on the aspects of site specific in vivo tendon strain with varying knee joint angle are non-existent. The present study determines and compares surface and deep layer strain of the patellar tendon during isometric contract...

Optimisation of rocker sole footwear for prevention of first plantar ulcer : comparison of group-optimised and individually-selected footwear designs (2017)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Chapman, J., Braunstein, B., Brüggemann, G., & Nester, C. (2017). Optimisation of rocker sole footwear for prevention of first plantar ulcer : comparison of group-optimised and individually-selected footwear designs. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 10(1), 27. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-017-0208-3

Background: Appropriate footwear for individuals with diabetes but no ulceration history could reduce the risk of first ulceration. However, individuals who deem themselves at low risk are unlikely to seek out bespoke footwear which is personalised....
