Early observations of the effects of lateral wedge orthoses on lower limb muscle length and potential for exacerbating spasticity (2010)
Journal Article
spasticity. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34(3), 319-326. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093646.2010.504976

Lateral wedge orthoses are often prescribed to correct varus deformity after stroke. Spasticity is implicated in varus deformity and is caused by velocity-related muscle length changes, so a lateral wedge may affect spasticity by manipulating foot an...

The influence of objective measurement tools on communication and clinical decision making in neurological rehabilitation (2010)
Journal Article
Tyson, S., Greenhalgh, J., Long, A., & Flynn, R. (2010). The influence of objective measurement tools on communication and clinical decision making in neurological rehabilitation. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 17(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2753.2010.01555.x

Rationale: routine collection of outcome measures is advocated to improve quality of care. However, there has been scant investigation of how measurement tools are used in clinical practice and what impact they may have. This paper compares two neuro...

Helmholtz solitons in optical materials with a dual power-law refractive index (2010)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2010). Helmholtz solitons in optical materials with a dual power-law refractive index. Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics and Materials, 19(3), 389-405. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218863510005340

A nonlinear Helmholtz equation is proposed for modelling scalar optical beams in uniform planar waveguides whose refractive index exhibits a purely-focusing dual powerlaw
dependence on the electric field amplitude. Two families of exact analytical s... Read More about Helmholtz solitons in optical materials with a dual power-law refractive index.

Diffusive benefits of cylinders in front of a Schroeder diffuser (2010)
Journal Article
