Enhancing self-directed upper-limb (UL) exercise practice using GripAble gaming device and Lycra arm sleeve in people with stroke (PwS): An evaluative study (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Pearce, A., Ruiz Garate, V., Welsby, J., Caleb-Solly, P., & Kumar, P. (2023, December). Enhancing self-directed upper-limb (UL) exercise practice using GripAble gaming device and Lycra arm sleeve in people with stroke (PwS): An evaluative study. Poster presented at UK Stroke Forum, Birmingham

Background: The national clinical guidelines recommend repetitive task training to enhance UL rehabilitation in PwS. GripAble™ (a self-directed exergaming device) has shown to increase repetitive practice in PwS. Previous studies have shown that a Ly...

Storage of MPs in Channel sediments (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Geary, A., & Phillips, N. (2023, July). Storage of MPs in Channel sediments. Poster presented at International Assoication of Fluvial Sedimentology, Riva Del Garda

This work aims to understand where microplastics (MPs) are stored within rivers. MPs are becoming prevalent in the news as studies are finding up to 14 million-tonnes of MPs on the ocean floor (Barrett et al., 2020). This is an issue as rivers drain...

COVID-19-related changes in outpatient CPAP setup pathways for OSA are linked with decreased 30-day CPAP usage (2022)
Journal Article
Turnbull, C. D., Allen, M., Appleby, J., Brown, R., Bryan, N., Cooper, A., …Nickol, A. (2022). COVID-19-related changes in outpatient CPAP setup pathways for OSA are linked with decreased 30-day CPAP usage. Thorax, 77(8), 839-841. https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2021-218635

The COVID-19 pandemic changed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) setup pathways. We evaluated patients commenced on CPAP in 2019 (prepandemic) and 2020 (post-first UK wave). Face-to-face (F2F) setup numbers, with CPAP turned on, decreased fro... Read More about COVID-19-related changes in outpatient CPAP setup pathways for OSA are linked with decreased 30-day CPAP usage.
