Conference Proceeding
Prior, Y., Wilkie, R., Beech, R., & Peat, G. (2013). SAT0575 Population Based Prospective Study of Self-Care Restriction in Older Adults with Joint Pain. . https://doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2013-eular.2299

Background Self-care restriction is a frequent form of disability in older adults and is associated with joint pain. The natural history of self-care restriction in older adults with joint pain is unknown. Objectives To (i) describe the frequency...

The views of rheumatology occupational therapists of a vocational rehabilitation programme (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Prior, Y., Bodell, S., Amanna, A., & Hammond, A. (2013). The views of rheumatology occupational therapists of a vocational rehabilitation programme.

Objective: Work disability in inflammatory arthritis (IA) is common. Rheumatology Occupational Therapists (OTs) are well-placed to identify people with IA’s work problems as their role includes evaluating the impact of arthritis on functional ability...

Factors Associated with Person-Perceived Disability in Adults Aged 18+ with Rheumatoid Arthritis (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Prior, Y., Hammond, A., & Tyson, S. (2012). Factors Associated with Person-Perceived Disability in Adults Aged 18+ with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with high risk of disability (1). Loss of independence is negatively correlated with the person’s health and wellbeing (2). The International Classification of Health and Functioning (ICF... Read More about Factors Associated with Person-Perceived Disability in Adults Aged 18+ with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Development of the Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) in Rheumatoid Arthritis: psychometric testing (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Hammond, A., Prior, Y., Horton, M., Tennant, A., & Tyson, S. (2012). Development of the Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) in Rheumatoid Arthritis: psychometric testing. . https://doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2014-eular.3334

Background The English Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) is a patient reported measure of activity limitations including 138 activities in 14 domains. It has been linguistically and culturally validated from the original Swedish to En...

In vivo measurement of the biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissues under simulated gait conditions (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Parker, D., Cooper, G., Pearson, S., Howard, D., Crofts, G., & Nester, C. (2012). In vivo measurement of the biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissues under simulated gait conditions. . https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-5-S1-O39

In vivo biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissues have been assessed via manual indentation using simplified loading profiles [1], or in gait, with low image resolution/capture rates [2]. Since plantar soft tissue properties are highly rate de... Read More about In vivo measurement of the biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissues under simulated gait conditions.

Restricted self-care and looking after the home in adults 50 years and older with hand osteoarthritis: prevalence and links with joint-specific characteristics (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Prior, Y., Wilkie, R., Nicholls, E., & Myers, H. (2009). Restricted self-care and looking after the home in adults 50 years and older with hand osteoarthritis: prevalence and links with joint-specific characteristics.

Background: The consequences of hand osteoarthritis (OA) are not completely understood. Restriction in self-care and looking after the home are important predictors of increasing disability and are key indicators for home aid services and increased h...

A new framework for recognition of heavily degraded characters in historical typewritten documents based on semi-supervised clustering (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Pletschacher, S., Hu, J., & Antonacopoulos, A. (2009). A new framework for recognition of heavily degraded characters in historical typewritten documents based on semi-supervised clustering. In 2009 10th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDAR.2009.267

This paper presents a new semi-supervised clustering framework to the recognition of heavily degraded characters in historical typewritten documents, where off-theshelf OCR typically fails. The constraints are generated using typographical (colle...

Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Diffey, J., Hufton, A., Astley, S., Mercer, C., & Maxwell, A. (2008). Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study. In International Workshop on Digital Mammography (469-476). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-70538-3_65

Conventional risk models for the development of breast cancer use inputs such as age, weight, hormonal factors and family history to compute individual breast cancer risk. These are employed in the management of women at high risk. The addition of br... Read More about Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study.
