Older adult dog owners are more physically active than their non-dog-owning counterparts (2017)
Journal Article
Gee, N., Dall, P., Ellis, S., Ellis, B., Granat, M., & Mills, D. (2017). Older adult dog owners are more physically active than their non-dog-owning counterparts. Innovation in Aging, 1(Supl_1), 293-293. https://doi.org/10.1093/geroni/igx004.1086

The study examined the influence of dog ownership on physical activity (PA) in community dwelling older adults using a longitudinal design and an objective measure of PA (activPAL monitor).

Eighty six participants (aged 65–81 years) were matched... Read More about Older adult dog owners are more physically active than their non-dog-owning counterparts.

Visualisation of upper limb activity using spirals - a new approach to the assessment of daily prosthesis usage (2017)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Current outcome measures used in upper limb myoelectric prosthesis studies include clinical tests of function and self-report questionnaires on real world prosthesis use. Research in other cohorts has questioned both the validity of self-...

24-hour population-level activity patterns : application of relative versus standard reference frame (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Gbadamosi, A., Granat, M., Pickford, C., & Clarke-Cornwell, A. (2017, June). 24-hour population-level activity patterns : application of relative versus standard reference frame. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Background: Population-level analysis of physical activity levels reveals a 24-hour pattern determined by the alignment of each individual's activity with a common reference point, i.e., the 24-hour standard timeframe. In this way, each person's day... Read More about 24-hour population-level activity patterns : application of relative versus standard reference frame.

The association of sedentary behaviour and mental wellbeing in the workplace (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Gbadamosi, A., Granat, M., Pickford, C., & Clarke-Cornwell, A. (2017, June). The association of sedentary behaviour and mental wellbeing in the workplace. Poster presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Background: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is highly prevalent in workplaces and this behaviour can be detrimental to health; however, little is known about SB and its association with mental wellbeing (MW). Therefore, the main aim of this pilot study was... Read More about The association of sedentary behaviour and mental wellbeing in the workplace.

Classification of occupations by accelerometer-derived variables for physical behaviour : Health Survey for England 2008 (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Granat, M., & Cook, P. (2017, June). Classification of occupations by accelerometer-derived variables for physical behaviour : Health Survey for England 2008. Poster presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Objective: Leisure time sedentary behaviour (SB) is known to be associated with a number of healthrelated outcomes (HRO); however, for those who are economically active, occupational activity (OA) contributes towards their daily physical activity (PA...

The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Cook, P., & Granat, M. (2017, June). The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Objective: Guidelines of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are dependent on how we define and quantify physical behaviour. It is therefore important to understand the validity of objective measures of PA and SB. This study aimed to...

The influence of dog ownership on objective measures of free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults : a longitudinal case-controlled study (2017)
Journal Article

Background: There is some evidence to suggest that dog ownership may improve physical activity (PA) among
older adults, but to date, studies examining this, have either depended on self-report or incomplete datasets due to
the type of activity moni... Read More about The influence of dog ownership on objective measures of free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults : a longitudinal case-controlled study.

Total hip arthroplasty improves pain and function but not physical activity (2017)
Journal Article
Jeldi, A., Deakin, A., Allen, D., Granat, M., Grant, M., & Stansfield, B. (2017). Total hip arthroplasty improves pain and function but not physical activity. Journal of Arthroplasty, 32(7), 2191-2198. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arth.2017.02.002

Background:
People with hip osteoarthritis are likely to limit physical activity (PA) engagement due to
pain and lack of function. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) reduces pain and improves function,
potentially allowing increased PA. PA of THA patie... Read More about Total hip arthroplasty improves pain and function but not physical activity.

Large scale population assessment of physical activity using wrist worn accelerometers: The UK Biobank Study (2017)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Physical activity has not been objectively measured in prospective cohorts with sufficiently large numbers to reliably detect associations with multiple health outcomes. Technological advances now make this possible. We describe the metho... Read More about Large scale population assessment of physical activity using wrist worn accelerometers: The UK Biobank Study.
