Detecting inter-adjustment coupling changes for transtibial adjustable prosthetic sockets: A novel motion capture model feasibility study (2025)
Journal Article

Prosthetic sockets provide a connection between the residual limb and prosthesis. However, this connection is non-rigid, leading to unintended prosthesis movement during functional activities. These movements can diminish socket function, cause disco...

Exploring the Role of Physical Activity in Individuals with Comorbid Cancer and Dementia: A Scoping Review (2025)
Journal Article

Background: Comorbid cancer and dementia, which share common risk factors and significantly burden the healthcare system, affect a growing number of individuals, especially the aging population. As both conditions place a substantial burden on health... Read More about Exploring the Role of Physical Activity in Individuals with Comorbid Cancer and Dementia: A Scoping Review.

Calibration of Building Performance Simulations for Zero Carbon Ready Homes: Two Open Access Case Studies Under Controlled Conditions (2025)
Journal Article

This study provides a detailed dataset from two modern homes constructed inside an environmentally controlled chamber. These data are used to carefully calibrate a dynamic thermal simulation model of these homes. The calibrated models show good agree...

The effect of different onset thresholds on isometric hamstring force-time variables using force plates (2025)
Journal Article

Introduction. There is an increasing frequency of single joint isometric assessments using force plates within team sports to inform training decisions; however, limited methodological consistency has been identifi ed within the literature , includin...

Building relationships of trust? The experiences of military veterans claiming ‘interface first’ Universal Credit (2025)
Journal Article

Trust is a central consideration when understanding the administration of social security benefits and interactions between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and claimants, which is increasingly digitalised. While this can have administrativ... Read More about Building relationships of trust? The experiences of military veterans claiming ‘interface first’ Universal Credit.

Normative data and objective benchmarks for selected force plate tests for professional and youth soccer players in the English Football League (2025)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to establish objective benchmarks for countermovement jump (CMJ), countermovement rebound jump (CMRJ), and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) metrics in male professional and youth soccer players. Professional (N = 139; age: 24... Read More about Normative data and objective benchmarks for selected force plate tests for professional and youth soccer players in the English Football League.

Concern about COVID-19 mediates the relationship between life-history strategy and stockpiling food and household groceries (2025)
Journal Article

Life-history theory (LHT) charts the relationship of environmental conditions to resource allocation trade-offs made by organisms to either reproduce or invest in somatic maintenance. Hazardous environments in which resources are unreliable should p...

The Ankle Recovery Trial (ART): clinical outcomes and patient experience of a pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing cast versus removable boot for early mobilisation after ankle fracture surgical fixation (2025)
Journal Article

Aims: This study compares functional outcomes and patient experience between cast immobilisation and early mobilisation in a removable boot after ankle fracture fixation, with early weight-bearing encouraged in both groups.
Methods: This pragmatic... Read More about The Ankle Recovery Trial (ART): clinical outcomes and patient experience of a pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing cast versus removable boot for early mobilisation after ankle fracture surgical fixation.

Lower Limb Muscle Strength Matters: Effect of Relative Isometric Strength on Countermovement and Rebound Jump Performance in Elite Youth Female Soccer Players (2025)
Journal Article

Background: Expression of maximal and rapid force in the hip, knee, and plantar flexors is important for athletic performance in female soccer. This study was designed to determine the effect of relative isometric strength in the isometric mid-thigh...

Developing a pavement condition assessment method for unpaved roads using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). (2025)
Journal Article

Approximately 95% of the total road network in Uganda is unpaved, and this heavy reliance on unpaved roads is predominant in most developing countries in the world. Consistent monitoring and evaluation of the condition of these unpaved roads is cruci...
