Purpose The study explored the acceptability of high repetition arm training as part of a randomised controlled trial, early after stroke, when fatigue levels and emotional strain are often high. Materials and methods 36 sub-acute stroke surviv... Read More about Stroke survivors’ perceptions of participating in a high repetition arm training trial early after stroke.

The strength of the corticospinal tract not the reticulospinal tract determines upper-limb impairment level and capacity for skill-acquisition in the sub-acute post-stroke period (2021)
Journal Article
Hammerbeck, U., Tyson, S., Samraj, P., Hollands, K., Krakauer, J., & Rothwell, J. (2021). The strength of the corticospinal tract not the reticulospinal tract determines upper-limb impairment level and capacity for skill-acquisition in the sub-acute post-stroke period.

Background. Upper-limb impairment in patients with chronic stroke appears to be partly attributable to an upregulated reticulospinal tract (RST). Here, we assessed whether the impact of corticospinal (CST) and RST connectivity on motor impairment and...

Postural control during quiet standing and voluntary stepping response tasks in individuals post-stroke : a case-control study (2021)
Journal Article
Moisan, G., Chayasit, P., Boonsinsukh, R., Nester, C., & Hollands, K. (2021). Postural control during quiet standing and voluntary stepping response tasks in individuals post-stroke : a case-control study. Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 29(7), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.1080/10749357.2021.1943803

Background: Postural control impairments following a stroke have impact on mobility, reduce independence and increase the risk of falls. Assessing these impairments during tasks representative of real-life situations, such as quiet standing (QS) and...

Role of sex and stature on the biomechanics of normal and loaded walking : implications for injury risk in the military (2021)
Journal Article
Gill, N., Roberts, A., O'Leary, T., Liu, A., Hollands, K., Walker, D., …Jones, R. (2021). Role of sex and stature on the biomechanics of normal and loaded walking : implications for injury risk in the military. BMJ Military Health, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjmilitary-2020-001645

Load carriage and marching ‘in-step’ are routine military activities associated with lower limb injury risk in service personnel. The fixed pace and stride length of marching typically vary from the preferred walking gait and may result in overstridi...
