An investigation into the relationship between maximum isometric strength and vertical jump performance (2015)
Journal Article
Thomas, C., Jones, P., Rothwell, J., Chiang, C., & Comfort, P. (2015). An investigation into the relationship between maximum isometric strength and vertical jump performance. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 29(8), 2176-2185. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000000866

Research has demonstrated a clear relationship between dynamic strength and vertical jump (VJ) performance; however, the relationship of isometric strength and VJ performance has been studied less extensively. The aim of this study was to determine t... Read More about An investigation into the relationship between maximum isometric strength and vertical jump performance.

Neuroscience safe staffing benchmark statements explained (2015)
Journal Article
Braine, M., Cook, N., & Waterhouse, C. (2015). Neuroscience safe staffing benchmark statements explained. British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 11(4), 191-195. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjnn.2015.11.4.191

Staffing levels have long been a subject of debate in nursing. They are connected to quality of care, team cohesion, turnover, skill mix and managing risk (Harrington et al, 2012a), all of which are fundamental to providing quality, person-centred ca...

Preparing women for breast screening mammography : a feasibility study to determine the potential value of an on-line social network and information hub (2015)
Journal Article

This feasibility study explored the attitudes of women towards social media for support about breast screening mammography. It sought their ideas about what a dedicated breast screening hub or Digital Support Network (DSN) might comprise; how they wo...

Multicenter retrospective investigation into migration of fenestrated aortic stent grafts (2015)
Journal Article
England, A., Garcia-Finana, M., & McWilliams, R. (2015). Multicenter retrospective investigation into migration of fenestrated aortic stent grafts. Journal of Vascular Surgery, 62(4), 884-892. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2015.04.420

Objective: Fenestrated stent grafts are subject to the same hemodynamic forces that have resulted in migration of standard
infrarenal stent grafts. Outcome data for fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair consist of short-term and midterm
efficacy... Read More about Multicenter retrospective investigation into migration of fenestrated aortic stent grafts.

The influence of a powered knee-ankle-foot orthosis on walking in poliomyelitis subjects: A pilot study (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Traditionally, the anatomical knee joint is locked in extension when walking with a conventional knee-ankle-foot orthosis. A powered knee-ankle-foot orthosis was developed to provide restriction of knee flexion during stance phase and act...

The effect of aging on gait parameters in able-bodied older subjects: a literature review (2015)
Journal Article
Aboutorabi, A., Arazpour, M., Bahramizadeh, M., Hutchins, S., & Fadayevatan, R. (2016). The effect of aging on gait parameters in able-bodied older subjects: a literature review. Aging clinical and experimental research, 28(3), 393-405. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40520-015-0420-6

Background

Gait disorders are common in the elderly populations, and their prevalence increases with age. Abnormal gait has been associated with greater risk for adverse outcomes in older adults, such as immobility and falls, which in turn lead to...

ChEVAS : combining suprarenal EVAS with chimney technique (2015)
Journal Article
Torella, F., Chan, T., Shaikh, U., England, A., Fisher, R., & McWilliams, R. (2015). ChEVAS : combining suprarenal EVAS with chimney technique. CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 38(5), 1294-1298. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00270-015-1189-x

Endovascular sealing with the Nellix(®) endoprosthesis (EVAS) is a new technique to treat infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. We describe the use of endovascular sealing in conjunction with chimney stents for the renal arteries (chEVAS) in two pat...
