Journal Article
Turton, A., & Britton, E. (2005). A pilot randomized controlled trial of a daily muscle stretch regime to prevent contractures in the arm after stroke. Clinical Rehabilitation, 19(6), 600-612. https://doi.org/10.1191/0269215505cr891oa

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
Butler, S. R., & Turton, A. (2004). A multiple case design experiment to investigate the performance and neural effects of a programme for training hand function after stroke. Clinical Rehabilitation, 18(7), 754-763. https://doi.org/10.1191/0269215504cr810oa

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...

When should upper limb function be trained after stroke? Evidence for and against early intervention (2002)
Journal Article
Turton, A., & Pomeroy, V. (2002). When should upper limb function be trained after stroke? Evidence for and against early intervention. NeuroRehabilitation, 17(3), 215-224

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
Butler, S. R., Turton, A. J., Turton, A., & Butler, S. (2001). Referred sensations following stroke. Neurocase, 7(5), 397-405. https://doi.org/10.1076/neur.7.5.397.16251

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
van Vliet, P. M., & Turton, A. (2001). Directions in retraining reaching. Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 13(4), 313-338

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.
