Influence of year-on-year performance on final degree classification in a chiropractic master's degree program
(The Journal of Chiropractic Education, 2016)Objective: We explored if any predictors of success could be identified from end-of-year grades in a chiropractic master's program and whether these grades could predict final-year grade performance and year-on-year ... -
Student perspectives on learning research methods in the social sciences
(Teaching in Higher Education, 2020)This paper addresses the perspectives of students of social science research methods from a UK study of their holistic experience of learning during two years of their postgraduate research training/ early careers as ... -
Low back pain: Identifying sub-groups, clinical prediction rules and measuring results
(Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2018)Low back pain is a complex, multifactorial health problem with huge socioeconomic impact. The purpose of this brief review was to reconsider the use of the biopsychosocial model as a basis for subgrouping cases to support ... -
Moving back: The radiation dose received from lumbar spine quantitative fluoroscopy compared to lumbar spine radiographs with suggestions for dose reduction
(Radiography, 2014)Purpose: Quantitative fluoroscopy is an emerging technology for assessing continuous inter-vertebral motion in the lumbar spine, but information on radiation dose is not yet available. The purposes of this study were to ... -
Estimation of in vivo inter-vertebral loading during motion using fluoroscopic and magnetic resonance image informed finite element models
(Journal of Biomechanics, 2018)Finite element (FE) models driven by medical image data can be used to estimate subject-specific spinal biomechanics. This study aimed to combine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) in ... -
Proportional lumbar spine inter-vertebral motion patterns: a comparison of patients with chronic, non-specific low back pain and healthy controls
(2014)Introduction: Identifying biomechanical subgroups in chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) populations from inter-vertebral displacements has proven elusive. Quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) has excellent repeatability ... -
An electronic patient-reported outcome measures system in UK chiropractic practices: A feasibility study of routine collection of outcomes and costs
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2016)Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of collecting valid and widely used health outcomes, including information concerning cost of care, using a Web-based patient-driven patient-reported outcome ... -
Prognostic accuracy of clinicians for back, neck and shoulder patients in routine practice
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2013)Background: Chronicity amongst musculoskeletal patients remains a considerable burden and predicting outcomes in these patients has proven difficult. Although a large number of studies have investigated a range of predictors ... -
Linking the Bournemouth Questionnaire for low back pain to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
(Disability and Rehabilitation, 2016)Purpose: Understanding the content of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires can facilitate comparison and selection of the most appropriate tool in the assessment of patients with low back pain. The ... -
Using the STarT Back Tool: Does timing of stratification matter?
(Manual Therapy, 2015)It is likely that individuals with nonspecific LBP (nsLBP) constitute a heterogenic group and targeting treatment appropriately to those most likely to respond is of major relevance. The STarT Back Tool (SBT) has been ... -
The shape of chiropractic in Europe: A cross sectional survey of chiropractor's beliefs and practice
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2019)Background: The chiropractic profession both in the past and presently has diverse opinions concerning different health care approaches and the science or otherwise that underpins them. Previous research has reported that ... -
Why people living with and beyond cancer use the internet
(Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2019)People living with and beyond cancer suffer with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms. To manage the challenges associated with cancer, patients use a variety of self-management resources, including the ... -
“I just googled and read everything”: Exploring breast cancer survivors’ use of the internet to find information on complementary medicine
(Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 2017)Objective: Breast cancer survivors often turn to the internet as an information resource when deciding whether to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) but their use of online CAM-related resources is poorly ... -
Enhancing decision-making during sports performance: Current understanding and future directions
(Sport and Exercise Psychology Review, 2016)Making decisions is a fundamental requirement for effective sports performance. As a result, an understanding of the processes underpinning the generation of these decisions is crucial to researchers and applied practitioners ... -
The effectiveness of different visual skills training programmes on elite cricket players
(European Journal of Sport and Exercise Science, 2018)The effectiveness of visual training interventions for athletes has been questioned over the last few years. Few studies have shown the potential for generic visual skills to improve visual performance in the sport while ... -
Expert–novice differences in brain function of field hockey players
(Neuroscience, 2016)The aims of this study were to use functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine the neural bases for perceptual-cognitive superiority in a hockey anticipation task. Thirty participants (15 hockey players, 15 non-hockey ... -
Clinicians' ability to detect a palpable difference in spinal stiffness compared with a mechanical device
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2019)Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the threshold at which clinicians can detect a difference in spinal stiffness of the thoracic and lumbar spine via palpation and then determine if this detection threshold ... -
Aberrant intervertebral motion in patients with treatment-resistant nonspecific low back pain: a retrospective cohort study and control comparison
(European Spine Journal, 2018)Purpose: Intervertebral kinematic assessments have been used to investigate mechanical causes when back pain is resistant to treatment, and recent studies have identified intervertebral motion markers that discriminate ... -
Uneven intervertebral motion sharing is related to disc degeneration and is greater in patients with chronic, non-specific low back pain: an in vivo, cross-sectional cohort comparison of intervertebral dynamics using quantitative fluoroscopy
(European Spine Journal, 2018)Purpose: Evidence of intervertebral mechanical markers in chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is lacking. This research used dynamic fluoroscopic studies to compare intervertebral angular motion sharing inequality ... -
A case study of factors influencing performance in the practice environment
(Case Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2019)Athletes’ practice environment can influence their competitive performance. The influencing performance factors present in practice are understudied, and the aim of this study was to explore these factors. Using a case-study ...
