One-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme for people with rheumatoid arthritis (2001)
Journal Article
Hammond, A. (2001). One-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatology, 40(9), 1044. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/40.9.1044

Objective. Joint protection aims to reduce pain and local inflammation, preserve the integrity of joint structures and improve function. There is evidence that it can improve pain and function in the short term, but the long‐term effects are uncertai...

Structural validation of nursing terminologies (2001)
Journal Article
Hardiker, N., & Rector, A. (2001). Structural validation of nursing terminologies. Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 8(3), 212-221

Objective: The purpose of the study is twofold: 1) to explore the applicability of combinatorial terminologies as the basis for building enumerated classifications, and 2) to
investigate the usefulness of formal terminological systems for performing... Read More about Structural validation of nursing terminologies.

Relevance of the popliteal angle to hamstring length in cerebral palsy crouch gait (2001)
Journal Article
Thompson, N., Baker, R., Cosgrove, A., Saunders, J., & Taylor, T. (2001). Relevance of the popliteal angle to hamstring length in cerebral palsy crouch gait. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 21(3), 383-387

The popliteal angle is a widely used clinical means of assessing hamstring length in cerebral palsy patients. The relevance of the popliteal angle as a measure of hamstring length was assessed in this prospective study. Sixteen patients with cerebral...

Pelvic angles : a mathematically rigorous definition which is consistent with a conventional clinical understanding of the terms (2001)
Journal Article
Baker, R. (2001). Pelvic angles : a mathematically rigorous definition which is consistent with a conventional clinical understanding of the terms. Gait & Posture, 13(1), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-6362%2800%2900083-7

The most common definition of pelvic angles in conventional gait analysis uses the sequence tilt, obliquity, rotation. This is used in most commercially available gait analysis software. This definition of angles, however, is not in agreement with th...

Reducing the variability of oxygen consumption measurements (2001)
Journal Article
Baker, R., Hausch, A., & McDowell, B. (2001). Reducing the variability of oxygen consumption measurements. Gait & Posture, 13(3), 202-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-6362%2800%2900104-1

The oxygen consumption (O2) of 10 able-bodied adults each walking at a variety of cadences and hence speeds was measured. The effect on variability of subtracting the resting oxygen rate from gross measurements and of normalising walking speed to the...

The influence of an Aircast® Sports Stirrup ankle brace on the ankle joint proprioception of professional soccer players (2001)
Journal Article
Bentham, S., Hatcher, J., Horsley, I., & McNaughton, L. (2001). The influence of an Aircast® Sports Stirrup ankle brace on the ankle joint proprioception of professional soccer players. Sports medicine, training, and rehabilitation (Print), 10(4), 223-234

To date studies have indicated an ankle brace provides
support, but also has a positive influence on ankle proprioception. However, it is still unclear whether this finding is correct, especially in professional soccer players. The aim of this work...
