Journal Article
Webb, J., Hogg, P., Twiste, M., & Correa, E. (2022). Improving competency in safe patient handling practice through online learning beyond the classroom – a longitudinal study. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 76(2), 7602205160. https://doi.org/10.5014/ajot.2022.044388

Importance Safe patient handling is intrinsic to healthcare provision; yet, educational provision of the skills for this are inconsistently delivered, without evidence that traditional face-to-face training reduces risk. Objective This study asse... Read More about Improving competency in safe patient handling practice through online learning beyond the classroom – a longitudinal study.

Pressure distribution analysis of x-ray table mattresses (2020)
Journal Article
Alresheedi, N., Walton, L., Tootell, A., Webb, J., & Hogg, P. (2021). Pressure distribution analysis of x-ray table mattresses. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 52(1), 97-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2020.11.001

Background There is a risk of developing pressure ulcers from lying on an X-ray table mattress, if the mattress pressure redistribution properties are poor. Aim: To assess the pressure redistribution properties of ‘new’ and ‘in current clinical... Read More about Pressure distribution analysis of x-ray table mattresses.

A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging (2020)
Journal Article
Angmorterh, S., England, A., Anaman-Torgbor, J., Korley Kortei, N., Alidu, H., Yarfi, C., …Hogg, P. (2020). A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging. ˜The œPan African medical journal, 36, 66. https://doi.org/10.11604/pamj.2020.36.66.19431

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are defined as localised injuries to the skin and/or underlying tissue as a result of pressure or pressure together with shear. PUs present significant health implications to patients; costing billions to manage and/or treat. Th... Read More about A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging.

A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures (2020)
Journal Article
Alresheedi, N., Walton, A., Tootell, A., Webb, J., & Hogg, P. (2020). A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 51(3), 417-424. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2020.04.007

Background Pressure redistribution performance of X-ray table mattresses can influence the development of pressure ulcers in at risk populations. Interface pressure analysis, with human participants, is a common method to assess mattresses. This... Read More about A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures.

Are older people putting themselves at risk when using their walking frames? (2020)
Journal Article
Thies, S., Bates, A., Costamagna, E., Kenney, L., Granat, M., Webb, J., …Dawes, H. (2020). Are older people putting themselves at risk when using their walking frames?. BMC Geriatrics, 20(1), 90. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-020-1450-2

Background Walking aids are issued to older adults to prevent falls, however, paradoxically their use has been identified as a risk factor for falling. To prevent falls, walking aids must be used in a stable manner, but it remains unknown to what ext... Read More about Are older people putting themselves at risk when using their walking frames?.

An investigation of pressure ulcer risk, comfort and pain in medical imaging (2018)
Journal Article
Angmorterh, S., England, A., Szczepura, S., Anaman-Torgbor, J., Ofori, E., Webb, J., …Hogg, P. (2019). An investigation of pressure ulcer risk, comfort and pain in medical imaging. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 50(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2018.07.003

In this study, we investigated the interface pressure of healthy volunteers on medical imaging (MI) table surfaces to determine the risks of developing pressure ulcers (PU). We also investigated volunteers’ perception of pain and comfort while lying... Read More about An investigation of pressure ulcer risk, comfort and pain in medical imaging.
