Volumetric breast density and radiographic parameters (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The detection of breast cancer relies on high-quality images from digital mammography. Optimal levels of compression force are unknown, and UK national guidelines recommend forces of less than 200N. However, large variations in compression forces exi... Read More about Volumetric breast density and radiographic parameters.

The consistency of knee kinematic, kinetic, and ground reaction force variables collected during running and cutting manoeuvres (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction: Abnormal biomechanics during sports activities
can lead to increased joint-reaction forces, an increased valgus
angle and increased load at the knee. The majority of studies that
assess lower-limb biomechanics commonly use 3D motion... Read More about The consistency of knee kinematic, kinetic, and ground reaction force variables collected during running and cutting manoeuvres.

Does a high-intensity warm-up benefit 5-km running performance? (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Research investigating the most effective warm-up intensity for subsequent running performance is somewhat varied. When compared to a low-intensity warm-up, Ingham et al. (2013, International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 8, 77–83) fo... Read More about Does a high-intensity warm-up benefit 5-km running performance?.

The effect of mouthguard use on ventilatory response to submaximal exercise (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mouthguards are used in a number of sporting activities to help protect against dental damage. Despite
the protective benefits of wearing a mouthguard, it is
possible that their use may impair oral breathing
during exercise, and some sports person... Read More about The effect of mouthguard use on ventilatory response to submaximal exercise.

Testing a mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Impact testing is commonly undertaken to quantify the shock absorption characteristics of footwear. The current widely reported mechanical testing method mimics the vertical heel velocity at touchdown and effective mass of the lower limb recorded in...

Rheumatoid arthritis patients' views of a vocational rehabilitation intervention provided by rheumatology occupational therapists (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Work disability in RA is common and many are unlikely to return to work once they cease working. Rheumatology occupational therapists (OTs) are well-placed to identify the work problems of people with RA as their role includes evaluating...

Psychometric testing of the Dutch evaluation of daily activities questionnaire in rheumatoid arthritis (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background The Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) is a patient reported measure of activity limitations in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) (1,2) which we have revised and updated for use in the UK. This ver... Read More about Psychometric testing of the Dutch evaluation of daily activities questionnaire in rheumatoid arthritis.
