The Relationship Between Usage of Personal Electronic Devices and Musculoskeletal Pain in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review (2024)
Journal Article
Clark, A., Cooper-Ryan, A. M., Brown, T., Preece, S. J., & Clarke-Cornwell, A. M. (2024). The Relationship Between Usage of Personal Electronic Devices and Musculoskeletal Pain in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review. #Journal not on list, 15(1), 23-41. https://doi.org/10.59481/197309

Background: Over the last decade, the use of personal electronic devices has increased rapidly in both children and adolescents. With this growth comes a need to understand the potential association between personal electronic device usage and muscul...

Implementation and engagement of the SMART Work & Life sitting reduction intervention: an exploratory analysis on intervention effectiveness (2023)
Journal Article

Background: To enhance the impact of interventions, it is important to understand how intervention engagement relates to study outcomes. We report on the level of implementation and engagement with the SMART Work & Life (SWAL) programme (delivered wi...

Clinimetrics of the Lanarkshire Oximetry Index for patients with leg ulcers: A systematic review and meta‐analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Wynn, M., Stephens, M., Pradeep, S., Clarke‐Cornwell, A. M., & Bianchi, J. (2023). Clinimetrics of the Lanarkshire Oximetry Index for patients with leg ulcers: A systematic review and meta‐analysis. International Wound Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14519

Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) measurement has long been considered the gold standard of vascular assessment for people with lower limb ulceration. Despite this, only around 15% of patients in the United Kingdom who require an ABPI measurement...

Participant and workplace champion experiences of an intervention designed to reduce sitting time in desk-based workers: SMART work & life (2023)
Journal Article

Background: A cluster randomised controlled trial demonstrated the effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life (SWAL) behaviour change intervention, with and without a height-adjustable desk, for reducing sitting time in desk-based workers. Staff within o... Read More about Participant and workplace champion experiences of an intervention designed to reduce sitting time in desk-based workers: SMART work & life.

A multicomponent intervention to reduce daily sitting time in office workers: the SMART Work & Life three-arm cluster RCT (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Office workers spend 70–85% of their time at work sitting. High levels of sitting have been linked to poor physiological and psychological health. Evidence shows the need for fully powered randomised controlled trials, with long-term foll...

Physical Activity Assessed by Wrist and Thigh Worn Accelerometry and Associations with Cardiometabolic Health (2023)
Journal Article

Physical activity is increasingly being captured by accelerometers worn on different body locations. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between physical activity volume (average acceleration), intensity (intensity gradient) and car...

Effectiveness of an intervention for reducing sitting time and improving health in office workers: three arm cluster randomised controlled trial (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention, with and without a height adjustable desk, on daily sitting time, and to investigate the relative effectiveness of the two interventions, and the effectiveness of both interventions on phy...

Defining Continuous Walking Events in Free-Living Environments: Mind the Gap (2022)
Journal Article
Gbadamosi, A. R., Griffiths, B. N., Clarke-Cornwell, A. M., & Granat, M. H. (2022). Defining Continuous Walking Events in Free-Living Environments: Mind the Gap. Sensors, 22(5), 1720. https://doi.org/10.3390/s22051720

In free-living environments, continuous walking can be challenging to achieve without encountering interruptions, making it difficult to define a continuous walking event. While limited research has been conducted to define a continuous walking event... Read More about Defining Continuous Walking Events in Free-Living Environments: Mind the Gap.

698 mothers and babies, 38 390 nappy changes : what did we learn? (2021)
Journal Article
MacVane Phipps, F., Price, A., Ackers-Johnson, J., Cook, P., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & Lythgoe, J. (2021). 698 mothers and babies, 38 390 nappy changes : what did we learn?. British Journal of Midwifery, 29(3), 150-157. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2021.29.3.150

Background Several industry funded studies between 2001–2018 have compared the use of a single brand of baby wipes to cleansing with water and either cloth or cotton wool during nappy changes. All of these studies found that wipes were safe and effec... Read More about 698 mothers and babies, 38 390 nappy changes : what did we learn?.

The BaSICS (Baby Skin Integrity Comparison Survey) study : a prospective experimental study using maternal observations to report the effect of baby wipes on the incidence of irritant diaper dermatitis in infants, from birth to eight weeks of age (2020)
Journal Article
Price, A., Lythgoe, J., Ackers-Johnson, J., Cook, P., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & MacVane Phipps, F. (2021). The BaSICS (Baby Skin Integrity Comparison Survey) study : a prospective experimental study using maternal observations to report the effect of baby wipes on the incidence of irritant diaper dermatitis in infants, from birth to eight weeks of age. Pediatrics and Neonatology, 62(2), 138-145. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedneo.2020.10.003

Background
Baby wipes have been shown to be safe and effective in maintaining skin
integrity when compared to the use of water alone. However, no previous study
has compared different formulations of wipe. The aim of the BaSICS study was to
ident... Read More about The BaSICS (Baby Skin Integrity Comparison Survey) study : a prospective experimental study using maternal observations to report the effect of baby wipes on the incidence of irritant diaper dermatitis in infants, from birth to eight weeks of age.

The performance of an algorithm for classifying gym-based tasks across individuals with different body mass index (2020)
Journal Article
Gerrard-Longworth, S., Preece, S., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & Goulermas, Y. (2020). The performance of an algorithm for classifying gym-based tasks across individuals with different body mass index. Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 24(4), 282-290. https://doi.org/10.1080/1091367X.2020.1815749

Previous activity classification studies have typically been performed on normal weight individuals. Therefore, it is unclear whether a generic classification algorithm could be developed that would perform consistently across individuals who fall wi...

Quantifying sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions in free-living environments using the activPAL thigh-worn activity monitor (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: Standing up, sitting down and walking require considerable effort and coordination, which are crucial indicators to rehabilitation (e.g. stroke), and in older populations may indicate the onset of frailty and physical and cognitive decline....
