Cauda equina screening in Physiotherapy: A qualitative study of physiotherapists in a community musculoskeletal service: Are we asking the right questions and are we asking the questions right?. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 65, 102773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2023.102773

Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) is a surgical emergency. With Physiotherapists increasingly taking on first-contact and spinal triage roles, screening for CES must be as thorough and effective as possible. This study explores whether Physiotherapists are...

A multi-center randomized control trial, comparing gamification with remote monitoring against standard rehabilitation for patients after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 31(1), 8-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2021.08.019

Gamification has become increasingly popular in rehabilitation and is viewed as a tool to improve patient activation, motivation and engagement. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of validated Exergames played through a system using 'd...

Investigation of the use of inertial sensing equipment for the measurement of hip flexion and pelvic rotation in horse riders (2018)
Journal Article
Gandy, E., Bondi, A., Pigott, T., Smith, G., & McDonald, S. (2018). Investigation of the use of inertial sensing equipment for the measurement of hip flexion and pelvic rotation in horse riders. Comparative Exercise Physiology, 14(2), 99-110. https://doi.org/10.3920/CEP170023

Equestrian sports report three to five times higher incidence rates for lower back pain than that of the general population, with hip flexion angles of 50-60° suggested as a causal factor. Inertial motion capture technology enables dynamic measuremen...

Observing the observer : experiences with contextual inquiry to design a horse rider assessment interface (2017)
Presentation / Conference
interface. Presented at BCS Human Computer Interaction Conference (HCI 2017) : Digital Make Believe, Sunderland University, UK

Current approaches to the postural assessment of horse riders is highly subjective, with a lack of consistency between practitioners. A technology based solution would remove the human perspective and enable a more consistent, accurate and objecti...
