Friendships and the community of students : peer learning amongst a group of pre-registration student nurses (2007)
Thesis
Roberts, D. Friendships and the community of students : peer learning amongst a group of pre-registration student nurses. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

This research seeks to explore the nature and value of peer learning for a group of pre-registration nursing students and specifically aims to examine a group of student nurses in order to inquire whether they learn from each other and if so, how, w...

The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery (2007)
Journal Article
Harvey, A., Graham, H., Morris, M., Baker, R., & Wolfe, R. (2007). The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery. Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 49(8), 603-607. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8749.2007.00603.x

The aim of this study was to examine the ability of the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) to detect change in children with cerebral palsy (CP) undergoing single event multilevel surgery (SEMLS). A retrospective study was conducted of gait laborato... Read More about The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery.

How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women? (2007)
Journal Article
Hollins Martin, C. J. (2007). How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?. British Journal of Midwifery, 15(8), 480-484

Obedience research has shown that under situational pressures and within hierarchical relationships, people have a propensity towards submission to authority (Milgram, 1974). Once they have done so, their actions are no longer guided by their own val... Read More about How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?.

Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output (2007)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Connick, M., Graham-Smith, P., & Pearson, S. (2007). Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 21(3), 986-989

The purpose of this study was to concurrently determine the effect that plyometric and isometric training has on tendon stiffness (K) and muscle output characteristics to compare any subsequent changes. Thirteen men trained the lower limbs either ply... Read More about Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output.

Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers (2007)
Journal Article
Arndt, A., Nester, C., Howard, D., Liu, A., Wolf, P., Lundberg, A., …Lundgren, P. (2007). Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(15), 3412-3423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2007.05.019

The aim was to compare kinematic data from an experimental foot model comprising four segments ((i) heel, (ii) navicular/cuboid (iii) medial forefoot, (iv) lateral forefoot), to the kinematics of the individual bones comprising each segment. The foot... Read More about Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers.
