Intrasubject repeatability of in vivo intervertebral motion parameters using quantitative fluoroscopy
(European Spine Journal, 2019)Purpose: In vivo quantification of intervertebral motion through imaging has progressed to a point where biomarkers for low back pain are emerging. This makes possible deeper study of the condition’s biometrics. However, ... -
An exercise program designed for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for use in school physical education: Feasibility and utility
(Healthcare, 2019)Moderate to high intensity exercise can improve cognitive function and behavior in children including those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, exercise with long periods of the same activity, ... -
Sport injury prevention in individuals with chronic ankle instability: Fascial Manipulation® versus control group: A randomized controlled trial
(Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2019)Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is one of the most common syndromes that occurs following an initial ankle sprain. Sprains are often correlated with recurrent sprains, loss of range of motion (ROM) and deficits in ... -
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 ... -
Can biomechanics research lead to more effective treatment of low back pain? A point-counterpoint debate
(Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, 2019)Although biomechanics plays a role in the development and perhaps the persistent or recurrent nature of low back pain (LBP), whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis for intervention is debated. Biomechanics, which ... -
Comparison of intra subject repeatability of quantitative fluoroscopy and static radiography in the measurement of lumbar intervertebral flexion translation
(Scientific Reports, 2019)Low back pain patients are sometimes offered fusion surgery if intervertebral translation, measured from static, end of range radiographs exceeds 3 mm. However, it is essential to know the measurement error of such methods, ... -
Unpicking the emperor’s new clothes: perceived attributes of the captain in sports teams
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)Much importance has been assigned to the role of the team captain. In this article, we test whether today’s team captains live up to these high expectations. Furthermore, we provide greater insight into the selection ... -
International consensus statement on the psychosocial and policy-related approaches to mental health awareness programmes in sport
(BMJ Open Sport and Exercise Medicine, 2019)Background: Research focused on mental health in sport has revealed a need to develop evidence-supported mental health practices that are sensitive to sport culture, particularly for non-elite athletes. A consensus statement ... -
An investigation into handedness and choking under pressure in sport
(Research quarterly for exercise and sport, 2019-03-28)When athletes fail to perform at an expected level during an important moment, it is implied the athletes have experienced “choking“ (sudden decline in performance) under pressure.”. Researchers have reported that persistent ... -
Isolated lumbar extension resistance training improves strength, pain, and disability, but not spinal height or shrinkage ("creep") in participants with chronic low back pain
(Cartilage, 2020)Objective. Loss of disc height is commonly associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Isolated lumbar extension (ILEX) exercise for the lumbar extensors is recommended to treat CLBP and is suggested such exercise might ... -
Center of rotation locations during lumbar spine movements: a scoping review protocol
(JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, 2020)Objective: The objective of this review is to identify and map current literature describing the center of rotation locations and migration paths during lumbar spine movements. Introduction: The importance of lumbar ... -
Dynamic interactions between lumbar intervertebral motion segments during forward bending and return
(Journal of Biomechanics, 2020)Continuous dynamic multi-segmental studies of lumbar motion have added depth to our understanding of the biomechanics of back pain, but few have attempted to continuously measure the proportions of motion accepted by ... -
Recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals in rural Canada: A systematic review
(Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine, 2020)Introduction: This review explores a pertinent issue for healthcare professionals and recruiters alike: which factors are most important in the recruitment and retention of these professionals in rural practice in Canada. ... -
The effect of sacroiliac chiropractic adjustments on innominate angles
(Journal of Interdisciplinary Health Science (Health SA Gesondheid), 2020)Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether or not a measurable change in the angle of the innominate bone could be identified after a chiropractic sacroiliac adjustment using a ‘PALM PALpation Meter’. Secondly, ... -
Leading together towards a stronger ‘us’: An experimental test of the effectiveness of the 5R Shared Leadership Program (5RS) in basketball teams
(Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2020)Objectives Leadership has been suggested to be a key factor in gaining a competitive advantage as a team, with shared leadership being a better predictor of team functioning than vertical leadership. Although the benefits ... -
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 ... -
From autocracy to empowerment: Teams with shared leadership perceive their coaches to be better leaders
(Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, 2020)Sports coaches often fear that empowering the players in their team would undermine their own leadership status. To investigate the legitimacy of this perception, we mapped the leadership structure within 64 sports teams ... -
An in-vivo study exploring correlations between early-to-moderate disc degeneration and flexion mobility in the lumbar spine
(European Spine Journal, 2020)Purpose: Early disc degeneration (DD) has been thought to be associated with loss of spine stability. However, before this can be understood in relation to back pain, it is necessary to know the relationship between DD and ... -
Sense of coherence mediates the links between job status prior to birth and postpartum depression: A structured equation modeling approach
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020)Postpartum depression (PPD) has detrimental effects on the health of the mother, child and family. Socio-demographic variables can influence PPD. Sense of coherence (SOC) is a personal resource that mitigates the experience ... -
Investigator analytic repeatability of two new intervertebral motion biomarkers for chronic, nonspecific low back pain in a cohort of healthy controls
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2020)Background: Understanding the mechanisms underlying chronic, nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) is essential to advance personalized care and identify the most appropriate intervention. Recently, two intervertebral motion ...
