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...

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.

Pilot study for a randomised controlled trial of home based reach to grasp training for people after stroke: 'Recovery after Stroke' participant information booklets
Other

As part of the 'Reach to Grasp pilot study', information booklets were produced for participants in the intervention and control groups to provide advice about stroke, neuroplasticity and local services.

Pilot study for a randomised controlled trial of home based reach to grasp training for people after stroke: Exercise manual
Other

As part of the 'Reach to Grasp pilot study', an exercise manual was produced to describe the intervention as clearly as possible. An instruction manual describing the intervention is available on the repository also.

This is the instruction manual for the exercise manual produced to describe the intervention in the 'Reach to Grasp pilot study' as clearly as possible.

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

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...
