Comprehensive non-dimensional normalization of gait data (2015)
Journal Article
Pinzone, O., Schwartz, M., & Baker, R. (2016). Comprehensive non-dimensional normalization of gait data. Gait & Posture, 44, 68-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2015.11.013

Normalizing clinical gait analysis data is required to remove variability due to physical characteristics such as leg length and weight. This is particularly important for children where both are associated with age. In most clinical centres conventi... Read More about Comprehensive non-dimensional normalization of gait data.

Injection frequency of botulinum toxin A for spastic equinus : a randomized clinical trial (2015)
Journal Article
Hastings-Ison, T., Balckburn, C., Rawicki, B., Fahey, M., Simpson, P., Baker, R., & Graham, H. (2016). Injection frequency of botulinum toxin A for spastic equinus : a randomized clinical trial. Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 58(7), 750-757. https://doi.org/10.1111/dmcn.12962

AIM: We compared two botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection frequency regimens, 12-monthly versus 4-monthly, for spastic equinus in a randomized clinical trial. The primary outcome measure was passive ankle dorsiflexion. METHOD: Forty-two ambulant chi...

The effects of progressive resistance training on daily physical activity in young people with cerebral palsy : a randomised controlled trial (2015)
Journal Article
Bania, T., Dodd, K., Baker, R., Graham, H., & Taylor, N. (2015). The effects of progressive resistance training on daily physical activity in young people with cerebral palsy : a randomised controlled trial. Disability and Rehabilitation, 38(7), 620-626. https://doi.org/10.3109/09638288.2015.1055376

Purpose: To examine if individualised resistance training increases the daily physical activity of adolescents and young adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Young people with bilateral spastic CP were randomly assigned to inte...

The use of instrumented gait analysis for individually tailored interdisciplinary interventions in children with cerebral palsy: a randomised controlled trial protocol (2015)
Journal Article
Rasmussen, H., Pedersen, N., Overgaard, S., Hansen, L., Dunkhase-Heinl, U., Petkov, Y., …Holsgaard-Larsen, A. (2015). The use of instrumented gait analysis for individually tailored interdisciplinary interventions in children with cerebral palsy: a randomised controlled trial protocol. BMC Pediatrics, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-015-0520-7

Background:

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often have an altered gait. Orthopaedic surgery, spasticity management, physical therapy and orthotics are used to improve the gait. Interventions are individually tailored and are planned on the basi...

A forward dynamic modelling investigation of cause-and-effect relationships in single support phase of human walking (2015)
Journal Article
McGrath, M., Howard, D., & Baker, R. (2015). A forward dynamic modelling investigation of cause-and-effect relationships in single support phase of human walking. Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2015, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/383705

Mathematical gait models often fall into one of two categories: simple and complex. There is a large leap in complexity between model types, meaning the effects of individual gait mechanisms get overlooked. This study investigated the cause-and-effec...
