Physical activity and cardiac self-efficacy levels during early recovery after acute myocardial infarction : a Jordanian study (2020)
Journal Article
Shajrawi, A., Granat, M., Jones, I., & Astin, F. (2021). Physical activity and cardiac self-efficacy levels during early recovery after acute myocardial infarction : a Jordanian study. Journal of Nursing Research, 29(1), e131. https://doi.org/10.1097/jnr.0000000000000408

Background: Regular physical activity is important for patients
with established coronary heart disease as it favorably influences
their coronary risk profile. General self-efficacy is a powerful
predictor of health behavior change that involves i... Read More about Physical activity and cardiac self-efficacy levels during early recovery after acute myocardial infarction : a Jordanian study.

Does free-living physical activity improve one-year following total knee arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis : a prospective study (2020)
Journal Article

Objective Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold-standard treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis, and the primary expectations are reduced pain and improved function. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding functional changes post-TK...

How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance (2020)
Thesis
Broadley, R. How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance. (Thesis). University of Salford

Falls can have severe consequences for older adults, such as bone fractures and long periods unable to get up from the ground, known as a long-lie. The capability to automatically detect falls would reduce long-lies through ensuring prompt arrival of...
