Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme (2007)
Thesis
Hatcher, J. Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme. (Thesis). University of Salford

Introduction: Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) results in instability of the knee and repeated episodes of "giving away", where the knee fails under conditions of rotary stress. This instability has been attributed to poor propriocep... Read More about Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme.

How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women? (2007)
Journal Article
Hollins Martin, C. J. (2007). How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?. British Journal of Midwifery, 15(8), 480-484

Obedience research has shown that under situational pressures and within hierarchical relationships, people have a propensity towards submission to authority (Milgram, 1974). Once they have done so, their actions are no longer guided by their own val... Read More about How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?.
