Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP): Semistructured patient interviews to explore the barriers and enablers to rehabilitation exercises (2024)
Journal Article

This study aimed to explore the barriers and enablers to physiotherapist-prescribed rehabilitation exercises for people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) and to guide the development of a theoretically informed intervention for people w...

The lycra arm sleeve for treatment of glenohumeral subluxation in people with sub-acute stroke: A randomised controlled (RC) feasibility study (2024)
Journal Article

Background: A Lycra arm sleeve has the potential to reduce glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) in people with stroke (PwS). Aims were 1) to provide feasibility data to inform a future fully powered randomised controlled trial 2) to understand whether pati...

Cognitive Multisensory Rehabilitation, a novel approach for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Case series (2024)
Journal Article

Effective treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition, is challenging. Cognitive Multisensory Rehabilitation (CMR) is a cognitive and sensorimotor treatment approach aimed at restoring function that targets cognitive...

To investigate the biomechanical and physiological effects of Lycra sleeve on the upper limb in healthy adults (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of a Lycra arm sleeve in people with stroke (PwS), however, the mechanism of these effects is unclear. The aim was to investigate the effects of a Lycra arm sleeve on pressure, temperature,...

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 Contribution

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...

The-state-of-the-art of soft robotics to assist mobility: A review of physiotherapist and patient identified limitations of current lower-limb exoskeletons and the potential soft-robotic solutions (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...

Within-day intrarater and interrater reliability of portable ultrasound measurements of supraspinatus muscle thickness in healthy people: A preliminary study (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) and hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) are common post-stroke complications reported in up to 81% and 65% of patients respectively. Rotator cuff muscle weakness, especially supraspinatus muscle inactivity is a p...

A practical workshop on hemiplegic shoulder pain, physical assessment and treatment strategies (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is one of the four most common medical complications after a stroke alongside depression, falls urinary tract infections. HSP has a reported incidence of between 30% (acute) and 65% (chronic) in people with stroke. The...
