A survey examining the use of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation on adult intensive care units across the UK (2019)
Journal Article
Cramp, F., Swingwood, E., & Tume, L. (2020). A survey examining the use of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation on adult intensive care units across the UK. Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 21(4), 283-289. https://doi.org/10.1177/1751143719870121

Introduction: Despite potential benefits, it is not known how widely physiotherapists use mechanical insufflation-exsufflation devices on UK adult intensive care units. This survey aimed to describe mechanical insufflation-exsufflation use in UK adul...

Mutual shaping in the design of socially assistive robots: A case study on social robots for therapy (2019)
Journal Article
Winkle, K., Caleb-Solly, P., Turton, A., & Bremner, P. (2020). Mutual shaping in the design of socially assistive robots: A case study on social robots for therapy. International Journal of Social Robotics, 12, 847-866. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-019-00536-9

This paper offers a case study in undertaking a mutual shaping approach to the design of socially assistive robots. We consider the use of social robots in therapy, and we present our results regarding this application, but the approach is generalisa...

Focus groups for co-design of robotic trousers for improving mobility in older people (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turton, A., Manns, S., Hampshire, L., O'Conner, R., Helps, T., Rossiter, J., & Mure, B. (2017, June). Focus groups for co-design of robotic trousers for improving mobility in older people. Paper presented at Royal College of occupational Therapists Conference 2017, Birmingham ICC

Research purpose and aims By 2039 more than one in twelve of the population is projected to be aged 80 or over, bringing increased prevalence of immobility and reduced quality of life (ONS, 2015). Current assistive equipment for improving mobility c... Read More about Focus groups for co-design of robotic trousers for improving mobility in older people.

Preparing for home: A before-and-after study to investigate the effects of a neonatal discharge package aimed at increasing parental knowledge, understanding and confidence in caring for their preterm infant before and after discharge from hospital (2016)
Report
Ingram, J., Blair, P., Powell, J., Manns, S., Burden, H., Pontin, D., …Fleming, P. (2016). Preparing for home: A before-and-after study to investigate the effects of a neonatal discharge package aimed at increasing parental knowledge, understanding and confidence in caring for their preterm infant before and after discharge from hospital

Background Improved survival and shorter length of stay (LOS) for preterm infants, together with poorly organised discharge planning in some neonatal units, leaves many parents ill prepared to take their babies home, with increased use of out-of-hou...
