This article examines the detention of asylum seeking women and their children and demonstrates that this practice breaches human rights obligations and undermines the UK’s policies on gender sensitivity and children’s welfare. Case study research wa... Read More about Experiences of Asylum Seeking Women and Their Children in United Kingdom Detention Facilities.

A mixed methods study to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a self-managed exercise programme versus usual physiotherapy for chronic rotator cuff disorders: Protocol for the SELF study (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Shoulder pain is the third most common reason for consultation with a physiotherapist and up to 26% of the general population might be expected to experience an episode at any one time. Disorders of the shoulder muscles and tendons (rotat...

Contractile dysfunction of the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinopathy): An overview (2012)
Journal Article

It is now over a decade since the features defining a contractile dysfunction of the shoulder were first reported. Since this time, some progress has been made to better understand this mechanical syndrome. In response to these developments, this nar...

Validation of a multi-segment spinal model for kinematic analysis and a comparison of different data processing techniques (2012)
Journal Article
Needham, R., Chockalingam, N., Naemi, R., Shannon, T., & Healy, A. (2012). Validation of a multi-segment spinal model for kinematic analysis and a comparison of different data processing techniques. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-067-3-151

Optoelectronic motion capture technology is a useful tool in the quantitative dynamic assessment of the spine. In a clinical setting this may help gain a further understanding of underlining musculoskeletal pathology. It is therefore important that a...

Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics (2012)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Psycharakis, S. G., McCabe, C., Connaboy, C., & Sanders, R. H. (2012). Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 28(4), 400-411. https://doi.org/10.1123/jab.28.4.400

Glide efficiency, the ability of a body to minimize deceleration over the glide, can change with variations in the body’s size and shape. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between glide efficiency and the size and shape c...

The debate on the potential of the internet to transform democratic practice appears to have settled around a balanced, empirically driven consensus that sees the internet as a political sphere of influence. This article acknowledges this and drawing... Read More about Is this local e-democracy? How the online sphere of influence shaped local politics.

Movement Specificity: What does it mean? (2012)
Journal Article

When an exercise is described as ‘specific’, there is an assumption that the exercise is ‘functional’ and is therefore transferable to a sports skill. Often the main criteria for ‘specificity’ is that the exercise must follow the same movement patter... Read More about Movement Specificity: What does it mean?.

Surveillance, suspicion and stigma: Brown bodies in a terror-panic climate (2012)
Journal Article
Patel, T. (2012). Surveillance, suspicion and stigma: Brown bodies in a terror-panic climate. Surveillance & Society, 10(3/4), 215-234

This paper considers hard and soft surveillance measures, processes of racialised labelling and the allocation of stigma within a post-9/11 terror-panic climate. Using qualitative data from the first stage of a wider study, the paper reports on the p... Read More about Surveillance, suspicion and stigma: Brown bodies in a terror-panic climate.
