From sceptic to believer: Acceptability of cognitive muscular therapy TM, a new intervention for knee osteoarthritis (2023)
Journal Article
Ghio, D., Brookes, N., Preece, S., & Walsh, N. (in press). From sceptic to believer: Acceptability of cognitive muscular therapy TM, a new intervention for knee osteoarthritis. Musculoskeletal Care, https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1842

Background: Cognitive Muscular TherapyTM (CMT) is an integrated behavioural intervention developed for knee osteoarthritis. CMT teaches patients to reconceptualise the condition, integrates muscle biofeedback and aims to reduce muscle overactivity, b...

Individuals with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate increased passive stiffness of the hip flexor muscles (2023)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Alghamdi, W., & Jones, R. (2023). Individuals with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate increased passive stiffness of the hip flexor muscles. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 41, 302-310. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2023.01.007

Background: People with knee osteoarthritis stand and walk with increased trunk flexion. This altered postural alignment will increase hamstring activation, elevating mechanical knee loads during walking. Increased hip flexor stiffness may lead to in...
