Sensorimotor integration in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study (2007)
Journal Article
Turton, A., McCabe, C., Harris, N., & Filipovic, S. R. (2007). Sensorimotor integration in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study. PAIN, 127(3), 270-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pain.2006.08.021

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...

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.

Case Studies for the paper: 'Service user perspectives on the future of mobility assistive devices: Understanding user’s assistive device experiences and needs
Digital Artefact
Cramp, M., Morris, L., & Turton, A. Case Studies for the paper: 'Service user perspectives on the future of mobility assistive devices: Understanding user’s assistive device experiences and needs

Purpose: 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 rehabilita...
