Emotion does not influence prefrontal cortex activity during a visual attention task. A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study
Presentation / Conference
Bendall, R., & Thompson, C. Emotion does not influence prefrontal cortex activity during a visual attention task. A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study. Presented at 5th Annual International Conference on Cognitive and Behavioural Psychology 2016, Singapore

Research shows that positive and negative emotion can influence a range of cognitive processes as well as hemodynamic prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity. This study sought to investigate if PFC activity was influenced by positive and negative stimuli d...

Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes
Thesis
Mackenzie, T., Herrington, L., & Horsley, I. (in press). Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is prevalent in sportsmen and can end sporting careers. The Acromio-Humeral distance (AHD) is a measure taken with ultrasound (US) and used to quantify the space in which structures in the shoulder become impinged. This...

A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting
Thesis
Newton-Hughes, A. (in press). A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting. (Thesis). University of Salford

Aim: when imaging patients for x-ray examinations Diagnostic Radiographers should position the patient so that bones, joints and soft tissues can be clearly visualised. In order to achieve this a widely accepted set of positioning criteria have been... Read More about A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting.

Qualitative and quantitative assessment of functional performance before and after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament in people from non-elite/professional sporting background
Thesis
Almangoush, A. (in press). Qualitative and quantitative assessment of functional performance before and after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament in people from non-elite/professional sporting background. (Thesis). Salford University

Reconstruction surgery is a very common management option following rupture of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). There is currently no study assessing ACL patients following surgery in Egypt (or other Arabic countries) or in people who are not fro...

Optimisation of radiation dose and image quality for AP pelvis radiographic examination
Thesis
Mraity, H. (in press). Optimisation of radiation dose and image quality for AP pelvis radiographic examination. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background and rationale:
Optimising radiation dose and image quality in medical imaging is essential in minimising radiation risk and ensuring images are fit for purpose. This thesis uses novel methods for image quality assessment and radiation dos... Read More about Optimisation of radiation dose and image quality for AP pelvis radiographic examination.

The effect of a knee ankle foot orthosis on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in an individual with varus knee alignment
Thesis
Alfatafta, H. (in press). The effect of a knee ankle foot orthosis on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in an individual with varus knee alignment. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Introduction: Increased knee loading and a varus knee deformity have been linked with progression of knee osteoarthritis and thus, reducing both of these are key treatment principles. There are different types of orthoses which are recommended to cor...
