Estimating changes in physical behavior during lockdowns using accelerometry‐based simulations in a large UK cohort (2021)
Journal Article
Speirs, C., Granat, M., Stamatakis, E., & Hamer, M. (2021). Estimating changes in physical behavior during lockdowns using accelerometry‐based simulations in a large UK cohort. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 31(12), 2221-2229. https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.14032

AbstractTo contain the recent COVID‐19 outbreak, restrictions have been imposed, which has limited outdoor activity. These physical behavior changes can have serious health implications, but there is little objective information quantifying these cha...

Journal Article
Battista, S., Buzzatti, L., Gandolfi, M., Finocchi, C., Maistrello, L. F., Viceconti, A., …Testa, M. (2021). The Use of Botulinum Toxin A as an Adjunctive Therapy in the Management of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. Toxins, 13(9), 640. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins13090640

Several studies have investigated the effect of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain, bringing contrasting results to the forefront. Thus far, however, there has been no synthesis of evidence on the effect of BoNT-A as...

COVID19 related food insecurity and eating behaviours that may promote weight gain : the mediating role of distress and eating to cope (2021)
Journal Article
Keenan, G., Christiansen, P., Owen, L., & Hardman, C. (2022). COVID19 related food insecurity and eating behaviours that may promote weight gain : the mediating role of distress and eating to cope. Appetite, 169, 105509. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2021.105509

Food insecurity (a lack of stable access to nutritious food) is reliably associated with obesity, although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Past research indicates that this relationship may, in part, be explained by the distress of being food...

Do patients with well-functioning total hip arthroplasty achieve typical sagittal plane hip kinematics? A proof of concept study (2021)
Journal Article
Langley, B., Page, R., Whelton, C., Chalmers, O., Morrison, S., Cramp, M., …Board, T. (2021). Do patients with well-functioning total hip arthroplasty achieve typical sagittal plane hip kinematics? A proof of concept study. Hip International, https://doi.org/10.1177/11207000211044471

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients have been shown to not achieve normal sagittal plane hip kinematics. However, previous studies have only conducted group level analysis and as such lack the sensitivity to highlight whether individual...

The relationship between readiness to change pain-related exercise participation and perceived work ability : a cross-sectional study of factory workers (2021)
Journal Article
Shawcross, P., Lyons, M., & Filingeri, V. (2021). The relationship between readiness to change pain-related exercise participation and perceived work ability : a cross-sectional study of factory workers. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 22, 762. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-021-04642-6

Background Healthy lifestyle behaviours are associated with protection against health disorders and pain. Exercise participation is one such behaviour, associated with improved outcomes in those experiencing pain. Musculoskeletal pain is highly prev...

3D Guided Dental Implant Placement: Impact on Surgical Accuracy and Collateral Damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve (2021)
Journal Article
Mistry, A., Ucer, T., Thompson, J., Khan, R., Karahmet, E., & Sher, F. (2021). 3D Guided Dental Implant Placement: Impact on Surgical Accuracy and Collateral Damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve. Dentistry Journal, 9(9), 99. https://doi.org/10.3390/dj9090099

An increase in the number of implants placed has led to a corresponding increase in the number of complications reported. The complications can vary from restorative complications due to poor placement to damage to collateral structures such as nerve...
