A semiotic analysis of texts relevant to childhood bereavement
Thesis
Bailey, S. A semiotic analysis of texts relevant to childhood bereavement. (Thesis). University of Salford

Studies of childhood bereavement suggest that communication is a crucial issue for adults and for children (Silverman and Worden, 1993). Closed communication seems to be a ‘natural’ adult response and this seems to be shared by some professionals. Th... Read More about A semiotic analysis of texts relevant to childhood bereavement.

Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis
Thesis
Sobuh, M. Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Myoelectric hand prostheses are controlled via electromyographic (EMG) signals measured at the residual forearm musculature. Active functional use requires control of force and motion of the prosthetic hand in the absence of proprioceptive and tactil...

Telehealth: The effects on clinical outcomes, cost effectiveness and the patient experience: a systematic overview of the literature
Report
Brettle, A., Brown, T., Hardiker, N., Radcliffe, J., & Smith, C. Telehealth: The effects on clinical outcomes, cost effectiveness and the patient experience: a systematic overview of the literature

Telehealth is seen as a way of improving access to patient care for long term conditions and there is a considerable volume of published literature available. This report provides an overview of the best available evidence by summarising recent syste...

Investigation of the podiatric model of foot biomechanics
Thesis
Jarvis, H. Investigation of the podiatric model of foot biomechanics. (Thesis). University of Salford

Abstract
Background: Understanding the biomechanical function of the normal human foot is essential so to be able to determine the parameters of what is the abnormal or pathological foot. The current model used in podiatry to describe the normal bio... Read More about Investigation of the podiatric model of foot biomechanics.

A qualitative study into the experiences of newly qualified children’s nurses during their transition into children’s community nursing teams
Thesis

This thesis provides an analytical account of a qualitative research study into the experience of eight newly qualified children’s nurses during their transition into children’s community nursing teams in the North West of England.
The study took... Read More about A qualitative study into the experiences of newly qualified children’s nurses during their transition into children’s community nursing teams.

An epidemiological study of self-care restriction and joint pain in community-dwelling older people
Thesis

Self-care restriction is proposed in the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning (ICF) as an important functional consequence of health conditions. In contrast to traditional approaches which focus only on an individua... Read More about An epidemiological study of self-care restriction and joint pain in community-dwelling older people.

The effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on motor-cognitive interference during gait in people with foot drop following stroke
Thesis
McAdam, J. The effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation on motor-cognitive interference during gait in people with foot drop following stroke. (Thesis). University of Salford

A stroke can impair both motor and cognitive functioning, reducing the automaticity of walking and increasing susceptibility to motor-cognitive interference (MCI). There is also some evidence of an association between susceptibility to MCI and the in...

Characterising the biomechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue under the conditions of simulated gait
Thesis
Parker, D. Characterising the biomechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue under the conditions of simulated gait. (Thesis). The University of Salford

The plantar soft tissue at the heel and ball of the foot provide the interface between the body and the ground. This tissue is adapted to attenuate large amounts of energy during impact (heel strike) and to become rigid under continuous loading (stan...
