A systematic review of common physiotherapy interventions in school-aged children with cerebral palsy (2010)
Journal Article
Martin, L., Baker, R., & Harvey, A. (2010). A systematic review of common physiotherapy interventions in school-aged children with cerebral palsy. Physical and Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics, 30(4), 294-312. https://doi.org/10.3109/01942638.2010.500581

This systematic review focused on the common conventional physiotherapy interventions used with children with cerebral palsy (CP), aged 4 to 18 years, and critically appraised the recent evidence of each of these interventions using the Oxford Centre...

Reliability of the functional mobility scale for children with cerebral palsy (2010)
Journal Article
Harvey, A., Morris, M., Graham, H., Wolfe, R., & Baker, R. (2010). Reliability of the functional mobility scale for children with cerebral palsy. Physical and Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics, 30(2), 139-149. https://doi.org/10.3109/01942630903454930

This study examined inter-rater reliability of the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the presence of rater bias. A consecutive sample of 118 children with CP, 2–18 years old (mean 10.3 years, SD 3.6), was recru... Read More about Reliability of the functional mobility scale for children with cerebral palsy.

Calculation of joint moments following foot contact across two force plates (2010)
Journal Article
Wong, A., Sangeux, M., & Baker, R. (2010). Calculation of joint moments following foot contact across two force plates. Gait & Posture, 31(2), 292-293. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2009.11.004

This study aimed to quantify the effect of combining the measurements from force plates when a subject’s foot comes in contact with more than one force plate. A 3-Dimensional Gait Analysis (3DGA) was performed on a subject walking barefoot. Ten gait... Read More about Calculation of joint moments following foot contact across two force plates.

A systematic review to determine best practice reporting guidelines for AFO interventions in studies involving children with cerebral palsy (2010)
Journal Article
Ridgewell, E., Dobson, F., Bach, T., & Baker, R. (2010). A systematic review to determine best practice reporting guidelines for AFO interventions in studies involving children with cerebral palsy. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34(2), 129-145. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093641003674288

Studies which have examined the effects of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) on children with cerebral palsy (CP) often report insufficient detail about the participants, devices and testing protocols. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the l...

Validation of 3-D freehand ultrasound for the determination of the hip joint centre (2010)
Journal Article
Peters, A., Baker, R., & Sangeux, M. (2010). Validation of 3-D freehand ultrasound for the determination of the hip joint centre. Gait & Posture, 31(4), 530-532. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2010.01.014

This paper describes the calibration process for 3-D free hand ultrasound (3-DUS). The Cambridge calibration technique was determined to produce the most repeatable and accurate results when determining the location of a reference object within a wat...

Correlations of the Gait Profile Score and the Movement Analysis Profile relative to clinical judgments (2010)
Journal Article
Beynon, S., McGinley, J., Dobson, F., & Baker, R. (2010). Correlations of the Gait Profile Score and the Movement Analysis Profile relative to clinical judgments. Gait & Posture, 32(1), 129-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2010.01.010

The Gait Profile Score (GPS) is a single indexmeasure that summarises the overall deviation of kinematic gait data relative to normative data. The GPS can be decomposed to provide Gait Variable Scores (GVS) of nine key component kinematic gait variab...
