A single blinded randomised controlled pilot trial of prism adaptation for improving self-care in stroke patients with neglect (2010)
Journal Article

Prism adaptation has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of unilateral spatial neglect following stroke in single case and small group studies. The purposes of this single blinded pilot randomised controlled trial were to determine the feasibility o...

An exploratory randomized controlled trial of assisted practice for improving sit-to-stand in stroke patients in the hospital setting (2008)
Journal Article

Objectives: To evaluate the amount of practice achieved and assess potential for effects on performance of 30 minutes of daily training in sit-to-stand. Design: Randomized controlled pilot study. Setting: Stroke rehabilitation unit, UK. Participants:...

Sensorimotor integration in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study (2007)
Journal Article

There is evidence that patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) have altered central sensorimotor processing. Sensory input can influence motor output either through indirect pathways or through direct connections from the sensory to motor...

A pilot randomized controlled trial of a daily muscle stretch regime to prevent contractures in the arm after stroke (2005)
Journal Article

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effects of daily stretch positioning for prevention of contractures in stroke patients without arm function. Design: Randomized controlled pilot study. Setting: Stroke rehabilitation ward, UK. Subjects: Twen... Read More about A pilot randomized controlled trial of a daily muscle stretch regime to prevent contractures in the arm after stroke.

A multiple case design experiment to investigate the performance and neural effects of a programme for training hand function after stroke (2004)
Journal Article

Objective: To investigate the effects of task-specific practice on hand function in stroke subjects who were given computer-assisted training and to look for associated changes in corticospinal connectivity. Design: Single case design experiments. Se... Read More about A multiple case design experiment to investigate the performance and neural effects of a programme for training hand function after stroke.

When should upper limb function be trained after stroke? Evidence for and against early intervention (2002)
Journal Article

Very little time is available for arm and hand training while patients are in hospital after stroke. Therapeutic strategies that use intensive practice in the early days and weeks after stroke may improve the recovery of upper limb function. This pap...

Referred sensations following stroke (2001)
Journal Article

Referred sensations are recognized as phenomena experienced after amputation of a limb and have been used as proof of the consequences of changes in somatosensory body part representation in the adult brain. Such changes may accompany interruption of... Read More about Referred sensations following stroke.

Directions in retraining reaching (2001)
Journal Article

Despite the growing amount of movement science and professional literature, rehabilitation for stroke is commonly based instead on accepted practice or custom. Therefore, this review article was undertaken to further the development of a sound theore... Read More about Directions in retraining reaching.
