Journal Article
Lowe, A., Littlewood, C., McLean, S., & Kilner, K. (2017). Physiotherapy and physical activity: A cross-sectional survey exploring physical activity promotion, knowledge of physical activity guidelines and the physical activity habits of UK physiotherapists. BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, 3, Article e000290. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjsem-2017-000290

Objective: Physical inactivity is a public health priority and embedding promotion of physical activity (PA) within healthcare systems is an important lever for change. Many factors influence PA promotion in routine healthcare practice; these include...

Clinical and cost-effectiveness of progressive exercise compared with best practice advice, with or without corticosteroid injection, for the treatment of rotator cuff disorders: Protocol for a 2x2 factorial randomised controlled trial (the GRASP trial) (2017)
Journal Article

Introduction: Shoulder pain is very common, with around 70% of cases due to disorders of the rotator cuff. Despite widespread provision of physiotherapy, there is uncertainty about which type of exercise and delivery mechanisms are associated with be...

Identification of walking strategies of people with osteoarthritis of the knee using insole pressure sensors (2017)
Journal Article
Muñoz-Organero, M., Littlewood, C., Parker, J., Powell, L., Grindell, C., & Mawson, S. (2017). Identification of walking strategies of people with osteoarthritis of the knee using insole pressure sensors. IEEE Sensors Journal, 17(12), 3909-3920. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSEN.2017.2696303

Insole pressure sensors capture the different forces exercised over the different parts of the sole when performing tasks standing up. Using data analysis and machine learning techniques, common patterns and strategies from different users to execute...
