Physical activity in hospital following total hip replacement : an objective analysis (2014)
Journal Article
Jeldi, A., Grant, P., Granat, M., McDonald, D., Deakin, A., & Stansfield, B. (2014). Physical activity in hospital following total hip replacement : an objective analysis. Gait & Posture, 39(sup 1), S96-S97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.04.133

Introduction and aim: Total hip replacement (THR) aims to reduce pain and disability [1]. However in the long term, even in the absence of pain, there is reduced muscle strength, postural stability and flexibility [2]. Enhanced Recovery Programmes (E...

Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour (2012)
Journal Article
Granat, M. (2012). Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour. Physiological Measurement, 33(11), 1785-1800. https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/33/11/1785

The quantification of free-living physical activities is important in understanding how physical activity and sedentary behaviour impact on health and also on how interventions might modify free-living behaviour to enhance health. Quantification, and... Read More about Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour.

Journal Article
Galen, S., Wiggins, L., McWilliam, R., & Granat, M. (2012). A combination of botulinum toxin A therapy and functional electrical stimulation in children with cerebral palsy - a pilot study. Technology and Health Care, 20(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.3233/THC-2011-0648

BACKGROUND: Among the ambulant population of children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), dynamic equinus is one of the most common form of gait deviation that is encountered.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the combined effects of Functional Electrical S... Read More about A combination of botulinum toxin A therapy and functional electrical stimulation in children with cerebral palsy - a pilot study.

The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons (2012)
Journal Article
McCrorie, P., Duncan, E., Granat, M., & Stansfield, B. (2012). The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons. Physiological Measurement, 33(11), 1901-1912. https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/33/11/1901

Evidence suggests that behaviours such as standing are beneficial for our health.
Unfortunately, little is known of the prevalence of this state, its importance in
relation to time spent stepping or variation across seasons. The aim of this study
w... Read More about The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons.
