Do sagittal spinal curvature and back extensor endurance correlate with gait and balance measures in people with degenerative spinal conditions?
(2022-02)The aim was to investigate the relationship between sagittal spinal curvature and endurance with dynamic balance and gait in people with symptomatic degenerative spinal conditions. Methods: In this cohort study, participants ... -
Dual-Task Effect on Gait in Healthy Adolescents: Association between Health-Related Indicators and DT Performance
(2020-11)The purpose of this study was to determine how dual-task (DT) effect on gait differs among adolescents with different fitness and health profiles. The gait performances of 365 adolescents aged 13–14 years were assessed at ... -
Dual-task walking and automaticity after Stroke: Insights from a secondary analysis and imaging sub-study of a randomised controlled trial
(2021-04)Abstract Objective: To test the extent to which initial walking speed influences dual-task performance after walking intervention, hypothesising that slow walking speed affects automatic gait control, limiting executive ... -
The effect of a one-year vigorous physical activity intervention on fitness, cognitive performance and mental health in young adolescents: the Fit to Study cluster randomised controlled trial
(2021-03)Background Physical activity (PA) may positively stimulate the brain, cognition and mental health during adolescence, a period of dynamic neurobiological development. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or vigorous ... -
Effectiveness of gait aid prescription for improving spatiotemporal gait parameters and associated outcomes in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review
(2021-07)Purpose To integrate the evidence of gait aid prescription for improving spatiotemporal gait parameters, balance, safety, adherence to gait aid use, and reducing falls in community-dwelling older people. Methods Seven ... -
The importance of prototype similarity for physical activity: Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations in a large sample of young adolescents
(2022-02)Objectives. Physical activity declines during adolescence. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is a useful framework for investigating activity but leaves variance unexplained. We explored the utility of a dual-process ... -
Long COVID rehabilitation: A collaborative approach to managing a new phenomenon
(2022-02)Purpose: Post COVID Syndrome (Long COVID) is the continuation of symptoms related to a COVID-like-illness after 12 weeks post onset (NICE Guidelines December 2020). Most recent ONS prevalence data (April 2021) predicts ... -
Musculoskeletal complications following critical illness: A scoping review
(2021-08)Purpose To explore the extent to which musculoskeletal (MSK) complications have been reported following critical illness, identifying evidence gaps and providing recommendations for future research. Materials and methods We ... -
Neuroergonomic Assessment of Developmental Coordination Disorder
(2021-09)Until recently, neural assessments of gross motor coordination could not reliably handle active tasks, particularly in realistic environments, and offered a narrow understanding of motor-cognition. By applying a comprehensive ... -
Risk Factors for Mobility Decline in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Literature Review
(2021-08)Mobility is essential to maintaining independence for older adults. This systematic review aimed to summarize evidence about self-reported risk factors for self-reported mobility decline; and to provide an overview of ...
