Task-specific training versus usual care to improve upper limb function after stroke: The “Task-AT Home” randomised controlled trial protocol (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Sixty percent of people have non-functional arms 6 months after stroke. More effective treatments are needed. Cochrane Reviews show low-quality evidence that task-specific training improves upper limb function. Our feasibility trial showe...

The-state-of-the-art of soft robotics to assist mobility: A review of physiotherapist and patient identified limitations of current lower-limb exoskeletons and the potential soft-robotic solutions (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...

A study of prisms and therapy in attention loss after stroke (SPATIAL): A feasibility randomised controlled trial (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: Investigate feasibility and acceptability of prism adaptation training for people with inattention (spatial neglect), early after stroke, during usual care. Design: Phase II feasibility randomised controlled trial with 3:1 stratified alloc...

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...

User perspectives on the future of mobility assistive devices: Understanding users’ assistive device experiences and needs (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction Current assistive devices are inadequate in addressing the needs of some people living with impaired mobility. This study explored the experiences of living with impaired mobility in relation to how wearable assistive adaptive and rehabi...

Feasibility of a randomized controlled trial of Lycra sleeve for management of glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is a common secondary complication reported in up to 81% of people with stroke. The aims of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of conducting
a fully powered randomized controlled trial of the Lycra... Read More about Feasibility of a randomized controlled trial of Lycra sleeve for management of glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke.
