Does Lycra sleeve alter biomechanics of shoulder in people with post-stroke hemiplegia - A mechanistic study (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract 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 distance (used for assessment of GHS) in people with chronic...

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...

Effectiveness of Lycra sleeve for glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke – A preliminary study? (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is reported to occur in 81% of patients post stroke. Lycra sleeves provide a compressive and supportive effect, influencing neuromuscular activity in the underlying body segment. The primary aim of this preliminary stud...

Effects of Lycra sleeves on shoulder girdle: A study to inform management of glenohumeral subluxation in post-stroke hemiplegia (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is reported in up to 81% of patients with stroke. Our previous feasibility study on people with chronic stroke (n=5) reported reduction in GHS following wearing of the Lycra sleeve. However, the mechanism...

A UK-Wide online survey of physiotherapy and occupational therapy practice for the Management of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain (HSP) (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is a common complication of stroke that can lead to reduced quality of life. The primary aim of the present study was to identify how HSP is assessed, diagnosed and managed in routine clinical practice by physiotherapis...

Use of potable diagnostic ultrasound to inform treatment choices for hemiplegic shoulder pain in people with chronic stroke - A case series (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) has a reported incidence of up to 84% of patients. HSP is multi-factorial in nature and interventions are very varied but are generally unsatisfactory. The objective of this case series study is to report fi...
