Acceptability of Lycra arm sleeve in people with sub-acute stroke: Patients', carers' and clinicians' perspectives (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Previous studies found that the Lycra sleeve has potential to reduce glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke. The primary aim of this study was to explore the acceptability of the Lycra sleeve from patients’, carers’ and staff perc...

Does the application of a Lycra arm sleeve change shoulder biomechanics in people with stroke? - A preliminary study (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is reported in up to 81% of patients with stroke. Our previous studies found that a Lycra sleeve can reduce acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance (used for assessment of GHS) in people with chronic str...

Management of hemiplegic shoulder pain: A UK-wide online survey of physiotherapy and occupational therapy practice (2020)
Journal Article

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore, via an online survey, how therapists assess, diagnose and manage hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) in the United Kingdom. The objectives were to explore (1) how therapists assessed HSP, (2) what the aim...

Does the Application of a Lycra Arm Sleeve Change Shoulder Biomechanics in Young Healthy People? A Mechanistic Study (2019)
Journal Article

© Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Introduction Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is commonly reported in people with stroke. Lycra sleeves provide a compressive and supportive effect, influencing the neuromuscular activity in the affected body segment....

Association between ultrasound assessment of glenohumeral subluxation and shoulder pain, muscle strength, active range of movement and upper limb function in people with stroke (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is a commonly reported post-stroke complication which has a negative effect on rehabilitation.
Objective: To explore the association between GHS and other clinical outcomes in people with post-stroke hemip...

Is a Lycra sleeve an acceptable treatment for glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke: Patients, clinicians and family members’ perspectives (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background:
Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is a common post-stroke complication reported to occur in up to 81% of patients. It presents considerable challenges to the rehabilitation of the upper limb; impeding recovery of shoulder function. There i...
