Older parents of learning disabled people and barriers to social inclusion (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Davys, D. (2007, January). Older parents of learning disabled people and barriers to social inclusion. Presented at College of Occupational Therapists Annual Conference, Manchester

Older parents of learning disabled people are a neglected area of gerontology (Smith and Tobin 1993) and encounter difficulty from both a societal and service perspective. Such parents run the risk of double devaluation from society on account of t... Read More about Older parents of learning disabled people and barriers to social inclusion.

Does a specific MR imaging protocol with a supine-lying subject replicate tarsal kinematics seen during upright standing? / Bildet ein spezifisches MR-Verfahren mit rücklings liegendem Probanden die tarsale Kinematik unter stehenden Bedingungen nach? (2007)
Journal Article
Wolf, P., Stacoff, A., Liu, A., Arndt, A., Nester, C., Lundberg, A., & Stuessi, E. (2007). Does a specific MR imaging protocol with a supine-lying subject replicate tarsal kinematics seen during upright standing? / Bildet ein spezifisches MR-Verfahren mit rücklings liegendem Probanden die tarsale Kinematik unter stehenden Bedingungen nach?. Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik, 52(4), 290-294. https://doi.org/10.1515/BMT.2007.049

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming increasingly important in the study of foot biomechanics. Specific devices have been constructed to load and position the foot while the subject is lying supine in the scanner. The present study examines th...

Time-of-day effect on patella tendon stiffness alters vastus lateralis fascicle length but not the quadriceps force-angle relationship (2007)
Journal Article
Onambele-Pearson, G., & Pearson, S. (2007). Time-of-day effect on patella tendon stiffness alters vastus lateralis fascicle length but not the quadriceps force-angle relationship. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(5), 1031-1037. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2006.04.001

Aim: To examine the time-of-day (TOD) effect on torque–force/angle, fibre length (FL), tendon stiffness (K), stress, and strain using the quadriceps muscle–tendon complex as a model. Methods: Twelve healthy young men (aged 27±2.0 years) were stu...

A computerized dynamic synthesis method for generating human aerial movements (2007)
Journal Article
Leboeuf, F., Bessonnet, G., & Lacouture, P. (2007). A computerized dynamic synthesis method for generating human aerial movements. Journal of Computer Science, 6, 4-18

A computerized method based on optimal dynamic synthesis was developed for generating the flight phase of somersaults. A virtual gymnast is modeled as a planar seven-segment multibody system with six internal degrees of freedom. The aerial movemen...

"The weakest link in the chain of nursing"? : recruitment and retention in mental health nursing, 1948-1968 (2007)
Thesis
Chatterton, C. "The weakest link in the chain of nursing"? : recruitment and retention in mental health nursing, 1948-1968. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis examines recruitment and retention in mental health nursing in England between 1948 and 1968. Its first objective is to explore the explanations that were given for the severe shortage of mental nurses that occurred in this period. The...

Social interactions in urban public places: participative method and recruitment strategies (2007)
Journal Article
Clark, A., Holland, C., Peace, S., & Katz, J. (2007). Social interactions in urban public places: participative method and recruitment strategies

This research focuses on the use of different public (and pseudo-public) spaces in urban areas.1 It draws on a case study of a year-long research project in the town of Aylesbury in southeast England, a market town with a population of around 69,...
