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 ... -
Engagement as predictors of performance in a single cohort of undergraduate chiropractic students
(Journal of Chiropractic Education, 2018)Objective: To investigate the potential association of novel academic and nonacademic factors with chiropractic student academic performance. Methods: Students enrolled into year 1 of a chiropractic master's degree ... -
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 ... -
Working as a sport psychology practitioner in professional cricket: Challenges, experiences, and opportunities
(Sport Psychologist, 2018)While there have been increasing opportunities for sport psychology practitioners in cricket, there are concerns regarding employment practices in the field and the knock-on impact on the practitioners. The aim of this ... -
Correlations between individuals’ characteristics and spinal stiffness in individuals with and without back pain: A combined analysis of multiple data sets
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2018)Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the correlations between individual characteristics and spinal stiffness as measured with different spinal stiffness measurement devices in individuals with and without ... -
Anti-directional cervical intervertebral motion: could it have gone any other way?
(Journal of Spine Surgery, 2018) -
Chiropractors’ views on the use of patient-reported outcome measures in clinical practice: a qualitative study
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2018)Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely available for use in musculoskeletal care. However, there is little research exploring the implementation of PROMs in clinical practice. This qualitative ... -
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 ... -
The relationship between balance performance, lumbar extension strength, trunk extension endurance, and pain in participants with chronic low back pain, and those without
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018)Background: Chronic low back pain is associated with lumbar extensor deconditioning. This may contribute to decreased neuromuscular control and balance. However, balance is also influenced by the hip musculature. Thus, the ... -
An exploration of the perceived health, life skill and academic benefits of dinghy sailing for 9–13-year-old school children
(Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2018)Research evidence suggests that outdoor education offers significant potential in priming healthy physical activity behaviors, developing life skills, enhancing self-esteem and promoting improved academic performance. The ... -
Relationships between muscle electrical activity and the control of inter-vertebral motion during a forward bending task
(Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 2018)Muscle strengthening exercises are commonly used in primary care for the treatment of chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) as it has been theorised that increased muscle activity contributes to the stabilisation ... -
A comparison of isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and chronic low back pain participants without previous lumbar spine surgery
(Spine, 2018)Study Design. Cross-sectional case-control study. Objective. To compare isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and participants with chronic low back pain (CLBP), while controlling ... -
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 ... -
Improvement of oxygen-uptake kinetics and cycling performance with combined prior exercise and fast start
(International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2018)Purpose: To investigate whether oxygen-uptake (V˙ O2) kinetics and simulated 4-km cycling performance are synergistically improved by prior “priming” exercise and an all-out starting strategy. Methods: Nine men completed ... -
Leadership and capacity building in international chiropractic research: introducing the chiropractic academy for research leadership (CARL)
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2018)In an evidence-based health care environment, healthcare professions require a sustainable research culture to remain relevant. At present however, there is not a mature research culture across the chiropractic profession ... -
Human rights in end-of-life-care: Implementation and early evaluation of a Sue Ryder training programme
(European Journal of Palliative Care, 2018)A human rights approach to end-of-life care supports health and social care practitioners in making balanced, and often difficult, decisions with people at the end of life, in order to make personalised care a reality. The ... -
Does breastfeeding lower the risk for childhood obesity: what is the evidence?
