A systematic review of methods to measure posture (2003)
Journal Article
Tyson, S. (2003). A systematic review of methods to measure posture. Physical Therapy Reviews, 8(1), 45-50. https://doi.org/10.1179/108331903225001390

The restoration of normal posture is an important aspect of stroke physiotherapy, because normal activity is thought essential for effective function. However, there is little evidence to support (or refute) this belief. To test this, suitable measur... Read More about A systematic review of methods to measure posture.

The effect of N-doping on the microstructure and coercivity of the ‘free’ Fe layer in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers has been examined. Itwas found thatN-doping leads to a magnetic softening of the Fe layer and a corresponding reduction in the grain si...
